Visually and Tonally Matched for Session SS Shell Packs

The Pearl Session Studio Select snare drum is the perfect match for your Session Studio Select shell pack and a strong complement to any studio kit. Its 5.4mm blended birch/mahogany shell is lively and responsive to suit a wide range of musical styles. Masterworks-inspired 60°-outer bearing edges and SuperHoop IIs give this snare a crisp attack and focused midrange to balance a powerful low end.

Masters-grade blended shell

The Session Studio Select snare features shell technology borrowed from the Masters series. Its thin, resonant 5.4mm EvenPly-Six (6-ply) shell is comprised of 4-ply birch outers for focus and cut live or in the studio, along with two inner plies of furniture-grade African mahogany for warmth and balance.

Pearl session studio select 8x14

Awesome snare!!!!!!!! I could just end it right there but, this snare I bought knowing I wanted a wood snare, I've always liked the sound of maple but the price tag of them is insane, so I found this Pearl snare, with a combination of birch and mahogany which I figured would create a cool sound and boy was I right, excellent crack with a solid deep undertone to it, I replaced the original snare strings with a set of 42 strings which made the snare even more sensitive, you can hear every ghost note. I can't say enough about it, most times when you buy a snare you wanna pitch the top head it comes with but the Remo UT head if fantastic and complements the snare beautifully. Took it to my church and WOW!!!!!! It sounds just as good with mics, and the amount of projection off this beast is intense, and the rimshot with catch you off guard, it's super loud, this snare not only look pretty but more importantly it sounds fantastic and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good general purpose snare cause this thing could work for all music playing styles.
