I myself have their 15x8 African Mahogany Philharmonic Snare. Complete with REMO FiberSkyn (topside) and Ambassador (bottom) heads. Such a warm and beautiful tone. Pearl makes some of the best snares around. Oh! And it was worth every penny!

[@ApexPercussion]

So true! Even the smaller models have such a warmth to them. That’s our favorite head combo as well!

[@imxjoon]

The performance was so good I listened to it over a playoff game 😂

[@ApexPercussion]

Honestly the best compliment in this whole comment section 😂😂😂

[@bishopm4401]

Congrats on getting pearl to sponsor a video like this! You definitely put out for them, beautiful video

[@ApexPercussion]

We feel incredibly lucky! Hopefully we did not disappoint

[@deamon506]

That had to have been completely surreal to experience

[@ApexPercussion]

It was wild! Felt super lucky to be able to do it

[@blantonflotte5996]

Glad you like it! 🙌

[@D0peSince85]

Well done!

[@20rileybob]

That was hella dope.. Took me back to some 2005 "The Postal Service" music with some sick drumming/sticking on top. Beautifully shot video, great idea to bring it back to some nature

[@ApexPercussion]

Thanks!! Definitely in that lane for sure. It was a beautiful day to be outside!

[@phucky0o]

Inspired to get back into drumming because of you guys!

[@ApexPercussion]

Thanks for sharing, Jake! Drumming is life haha

[@GaryWare]

Beautiful!

[@ApexPercussion]

Thanks as always, Gary! Appreciate your support 🙏

[@RustyManisduckman]

Very cool. I sat and listened to this with my eyes closed, and to me it had a very Allan Parsons project sound to it. A prog/rock band from the 70's to you young guys

[@ApexPercussion]

It definitely has prog rock vibes for sure!!

[@jeromieb038]

Coolest snare drum out there. Good video

[@ApexPercussion]

Haha thank you!! We are trying our best!

[@brianatkinson1398]

Wow! Fantastic job, guys.

Thanks!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@jamezbond0074]

Gentlemen, fine video you put together. Honestly some the sickest stickin. Perfect piece, on lookout mtn. Rock Falls? Or was that an isolated cliff on lookout mtn? The snare is a magnificent looking. Very calming beats to go with the snare. Well done!

[@ApexPercussion]

It was Snooper's Rock if you ever want to do the hike yourself!

[@hardimonaddictyt9976]

Got dayum this is fire. Great video!

[@ApexPercussion]

Thanks so much! It was a ton of fun!

[@MrJ691]

I'd love to see you play the Caravan piece from the movie Whiplash

[@Drrobverjones]

100% put a video of just the playing so we can listen on youtube music or something

[@ApexPercussion]

Yo we had not thought to do that but that’s honestly a good idea! Maybe we need a Spotify account too 🤔

[@alexzummo5342]

Yes you should do that with all your music! Especially the three shorts y’all did with Konstantin

[@tylerlawson5923]

Awesome! I live in Chattanooga. What trail/cliff overlook is this?

[@ApexPercussion]

Snoopers Rock!

My man is out here 🔥

[@djsamfx]

I was into this but the ad placement really ruined the mood. Like someone shaking you just as you're falling asleep.

[@ApexPercussion]

There shouldn't be any ads mid performance, but the uploader was being glitchy yesterday. Just reset it to see if that fixed it, thanks for letting us know!

[@NkosiLion]

what in the Jesus Camp Missionary trip is this? Wheres Morris Brown on snare as promised?

[@ApexPercussion]

😂😂 That’s on the way, my guy! We have a ton of projects and recordings we’re working on and releasing each of them as they are finished!

[@NkosiLion]

@@ApexPercussion Awesome! love what you guys are doing! Making musicianship fun.
