Pearl Modern Utility Snare Drums are as pragmatic as possible: simple, well-made instruments with no fancy bells or whistles, priced so working drummers can easily afford to buy two, three, or more in different sizes at a lower price than many individual drums.

This 14" x 6.5" model features a shell made from 6 plies of maple with a total thickness of 5mm. These dimensions are the most classic, applicable across a huge range of genres as long as they tend to get loud.

It's equipped with 1.6mm triple-flanged hoops, a simple SR-700 strainer, and low-mass CL bridge lugs.
