Pearl 13" x 5" Steel Shell Snare Drum - Bright, Punchy, & Versatile

Add some crack, punch, and personality to your kit with this Pearl 13" x 5" steel-shell snare drum! With its compact 13" diameter and shallow 5" shell, this Pearl delivers quick response, crisp attack, and bright projection that can make a snare really stand out. Whether you're a beginning drummer discovering your sound, a student building your first kit, an experienced player looking for a distinctive second snare, or simply someone who loves the character of a great drum, this Pearl offers plenty of versatility and personality.

This snare is particularly well suited to music that benefits from a lively, articulate sound, including rock, hard rock, punk, ska, reggae, pop, funk, metal, country, alternative, indie, worship, and contemporary music. Tune it higher for a sharp, energetic crack, or experiment with lower tunings for a fuller, punchier voice. Its quick response and cutting attack can help your backbeat stand out beautifully, whether you're playing in a rehearsal space, on stage, or in the recording studio.

Pearl is one of the world's best-known drum and percussion manufacturers, with a long history of creating instruments for everyone from beginning players to touring and recording professionals. Pearl drums have been associated with acclaimed drummers including Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dennis Chambers, Mike Mangini of Dream Theater, Gavin Harrison, and the late Joey Jordison of Slipknot, among many others. Obviously, this reflects the brand's established reputation among serious drummers across a wide range of musical styles.

A 13" snare is also a fun way to add something different to a conventional drum setup. Its smaller diameter and shallow shell provide a distinctive combination of snap, immediacy, and projection that can complement a deeper 14" snare beautifully. One drum can open up a whole new range of sounds and possibilities. If you've been looking for an affordable, versatile Pearl snare with plenty of character, this one is worth a close look. Don't wait too long — interesting used Pearl snares don't stay available forever, and once this one is gone, the next one may not come along at the same price or in the same condition. Grab it while you can and put some new crack into your kit!

As shown in the pictures, there are some minor blemishes and oxidation on the item. This is to be expected with a previously owned instrument. The snare throw is smooth. Both the snare throw and muffler function function as expeected.
