Pearl’s Session Series Returns with Upgraded Spec

For over a quarter century, Pearl’s Session Series drums have yielded some of the most harmonically vibrant recorded drum tones ever captured in the studio environment. Returning with a custom upgrade from the boutique-level Masterworks spectrum, new Session Studio Select drums shift to the classic shell blend that made them an artist favourite.

The Session Studio Select shell is a thin, 5.4mm EvenPly-Six combination of Masters-grade Birch and African Mahogany. The controlled punch of Pearl’s fresh 60-degree bearing edge delivers a blend of pre-EQ’d clarity and tonal warmth.

In addition to a host of hardware upgrades and three stunning finishes to choose from, Session Studio Select’s four shell packs.

Pearl’s value-based Modern Utility Snare drum line has been expanded to include two new Steel shell models. Shimmering, open, and untamed, each Modern Utility Steel snare features a 1mm beaded Steel shell, rolled to ring with open punch at full force, and speak with crisp sensitivity at lower impact.

Blasted with a satin textured coating to give a cool, versatile vibe, the 14” models come in both 5” and 6.5” depths and feature Pearl’s CL arch lugs and smooth SR700 snare strainer for precise tunability. Each model makes an exceptional primary or added snare, and brings a high-volume voice to the playing field.

Pearl and YouTube sensation COOP3RDRUMM3R present “The Igniter Snare Drum”

Truly a drummer for a new generation, Casey Cooper’s energetic performance videos have become an online favourite for over 1.5 Million avid subscribers. In celebration of his dynamic playing, Pearl has collaborated with Casey to create The Igniter: a snare created specifically to instantly improve the sound of any drum kit.

The Igniter’s 14”x5” shell features an all Maple interior to enhance power, tone and projection. Custom flame and pinstripe graphics draw inspiration from one of Casey’s signature performances, while CL bridge lugs are augmented by Red gaskets to add to its unique character.

My drumming videos are designed to make people into drummers!” says Casey (known as COOP3RDRUMM3R to his subscribers.) “I want players to feel the fire and excitement of playing drums, but you can’t really feel that unless you are playing a quality instrument. The Igniter makes any kit sound great, right out of the box!”

A fantastic value to add to your drumming voice and keep the fire of drumming burning bright, each Igniter snare drum comes with a deluxe Casey Cooper snare drum rudiments poster.
