Pearl Masterworks Snare Drums: Custom-built Quality to Suit Every Taste

Every handbuilt snare drum in the Pearl Masterworks series boasts vault-grade tonewoods, indulgent finish plies, and top-of-the-line hoops and hardware. This 5.5" x 16" Masterworks Studio snare combines four plies of balanced North American maple with two plies of rich, resonant gumwood for impressive depth and response in any setting — onstage or in the studio. Plies are set using Pearl's proprietary SST shell molding process, with tonally transparent AcoustiGlue and 1,000 PSI of direct pressure, yielding maximum roundness and resonance. 2.3mm triple-flanged Superhoops and nickel STL100 swivel lugs complete the package.

Pearl Masterworks MWA1655SN 16" Snare Drum Features:

Vault-grade tonewoods and finish plies
Top-tier hoops and hardware
4-ply maple exterior
2-ply gumwood interior
Luxurious imbuya wood finish ply
2.3mm triple-flanged Pearl Superhoops
Nickel STL100 swivel lugs
Size: 5.5" x 16"

What Does "Special Order" Mean?

A special-order product is one that we don't normally keep in stock. We order it from the manufacturer as soon as you order from us. We have great relationships with all the manufacturers we carry, so we can get your special order to you as fast as or faster than anyone else. Remember that special orders are non-returnable and non-cancelable, so make sure the item is right for you. A Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help you decide — call (800) 222-4700 for assistance!
