Pearl Music City Custom Solid Snare Drums Review

[@kevinremsen5627]

Solid Walnut tuned high sounds glorious.

[@drumcenternh]

Totally agree!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Yeah, I agree. That Walnut snare is fecking awesome. At any tuning!

[@NotMyWar]

I have been snoozing on these! The walnut, tuned either way sounded like heaven’s golden chorus.

[@lowfatedes]

4 great-sounding drums. Cherry and Walnut were my favourites

[@aaronlin6599]

I was just thinking about these drums and then you guys uploaded this vid. Love you guys

[@drumcenternh]

Thanks Aaron!

[@michaell.8938]

The cherry low-tuned sounded amazing.

[@bijikedelai]

finally! been waiting for this review since you guys teased it on your instagram

[@drumcenternh]

Glad you dug it!

[@johnbertasius2612]

I agree, they are beautiful looking drums.

[@carloscrosara6931]

I love Pearl. It is my favorite drum brand. I think walnut snare won the challenge.

[@johnrobinson8323]

Wow! That 5.5 inch maple drum is definitely a well rounded drum. Sounds big and beefy as well as James Brown poppin !

[@dancalabrese3523]

I'd pick the walnut if I could only pick one which surprised me as I would usually prefer a deeper drum. It really sounded great in all the tuning ranges. Visually, all four drums were stunning. Not a fan of Pearl but they did a great job on these drums. And I like when Tony "over plays"!

[@markomarkovic5729]

You guys have the best job in the world! As for the snares - walnut sounded best to my ear, but they are all great.

[@klauth_Yksyn]

Great intro Shane!!! If I didn't have such an extensive craviotto collection....I'd definitely get a few of these.

[@christiancharlesworth]

A bit late, but the video mentions a couple of the models being 14x5.5 and they are actually 14x5. No biggie, just figured I’d mention it since I didn’t see anyone else comment. Nonetheless, just placed an order for the Walnut. That thing sounds phenomenal!

[@Customwinder1]

Love my Pearl Snare Drums. Hope to have one of these one day. The Solid Walnut has that sound I love. And it looks great. I'm jealous Tony !

[@drumcenternh]

Thanks for watching!

[@boblunergan4156]

I really liked the Pearl maple snare drum

[@kennethjimenez4445]

I just got the 6.5x14 walnut with the ebony and mother of pearl inlay. It's AMAZING!!!!!

[@stromghouls]

my favorite was the maple and i loved the porcupine tree inspired sad music at the end.

[@drumcenternh]

Great taste!

[@Andrew3154]

Loved the Cherry.

[@ihaballam4086]

As always great demos and valuable info. The walnut is the one for me. Wished you Played the 14x6.5. Overall they are all awesome as expected from the great Pearl drum company. They never go wrong.

[@Ms74Biker]

Walnut - my favorite sound.

[@kennethjimenez4445]

I liked all of them. I want a walnut snare. I purchased from DCP before, and I will continue to do so. Keep up the great work guys!

[@scottsiegner5239]

Walnut followed by maple were my faves. Would love to have heard the walnut drum in 6.5 x 14.

[@davidsuprenant893]

Man drums sure sound good with a full mix.what a difference when you hear room mics.Like night and day difference.

[@nikeshox91787]

Solid Walnut was the favorite of the bunch! they all sounded great but the Walnut is the winner

[@Steffentrommelt]

nice video - helpful

[@drumcenternh]

Glad to hear that!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

6.5" Solid Ash. Ohhh, yeahhhh! I thought the Cherry was a bit too brash but that's just me.

Sound great 👍

[@JulianFernandez]

Pearl is cool!

[@TH-gu4wj]

I really love the 6.5 ash in the low tuning. I was demoing these in my car and it's just SO damn fat. I might be buying it, maybe even today.

[@drumcenternh]

Love that drum!

[@Calj_Music89]

1:03 KNOCK'D ME TO THE FLOOR LOLOL

[@adamfrost8417]

so much freedom

[@aparker507]

Just got into the solid shell world with a custom Pork Pie East Indian Rosewood by cask. Incredible drum. Love the walnut from Pearl!

[@betulaobscura]

Walnut, cherry... all sounds good! I don't like the design and look of these snares though... Thanks for the review!

[@drumcenternh]

Fair enough! Thanks for watching!

[@betulaobscura]

@@drumcenternh You are welcome!

[@timothycline1570]

Excellent demo Ty! P.s. Tony bit funnee

[@drumcenternh]

Thank you Tim!

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

„FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!“ 🤣👌🏻

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Hey, Shane, I noticed some typos on your website. If I go through and let you know what needs to be fixed, could ya give me a discount on a used drum kit? I'm not talking expensive kits. Mapex Storm or something?! I am a Proofreader as well as a drummer and Abstract painter. :-)

[@petermasalsky8844]

Great job AGAIN, guys. Quick point/question/whatever...could you list what sticks are being used? Just curious. Thanks!

[@drumcenternh]

The sticks are Meinl Standard 5Bs: www.drumcenternh.com/meinl-stick-brush-sb102-standard-5b-drum-sticks

[@petermasalsky8844]

@@drumcenternh Thank you!

[@Chickboom34]

Any idea when the store will be open for customer traffic again? I'm jonzin' for a roadtrip!

[@drumcenternh]

No date as of right now, but give us a call ;-)

[@boyna13]

We are big drum shop so we advertise one of the greatest Pearl snare drums on a Sonor drum set 😅😅. Something you may want to avoid, lol

[@drumcenternh]

We wanted to get this video out as soon as possible and that kit was all dialed in and ready to go. Thanks for the feedback.

[@claudeabraham2347]

Walnut & maple stood out, cherry was good. I don't know why the ash didn't do it for me.

[@pfunnk14]

Poor sad Tony. You stole his sunshine.

[@drumcenternh]

He'll bounce back.

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Hahaha!

[@pyroeuropa]

For me the walnut pls. My ears got somehow bored from maple

[@DrummerGrrrl]

Ha ha! I thought Tony spotted a Murder Hornet and that's why he leapt to his feet.

[@christopherdonegan1631]

Walnut first, cherry close second

[@GregBatte]

Walnut. I'd be THRILLED with any one though.

[@christopherdonegan1631]

poor Tony, you were too hard on him!

[@supmet2]

Ash.

[@jodieyogawanshima]

walnut is the best

[@170adamb1]

For years I had the Pearl 96 snare drum catalogue and used to drool over their 50th anniversary snare!! It had a single ply Keller shell with re-rings!! 16 years later I found one on ebay described as 9/10 condition!! I'd never been so exited to get a drum in my life!! When I got it out of it's box it was instantly obvious that the shell was way out of round!! It was untunable and unplayable!! What a disappointment!! In 40 years of drumming I've had dozens of drums from budget to high end and never had a shell go out of round!! Will never buy a steam bent snare again!!
