The Pearl Primal Snare Collective 14" x 5.5" Brass Snare Drum is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums!

The Pearl Primal Snare Collective 14" x 5.5" Brass Snare Drum delivers the powerful, vibrant character of brass in a versatile traditional snare size. Designed as part of Pearl's Primal Snare Collective, it puts the focus on strong fundamental tone, responsive performance and straightforward, dependable construction.

Built around a 1mm beaded brass shell, this model produces a centred and powerful sound with plenty of lively overtones. The 14" x 5.5" dimensions give the drum a quick response and punchy attack, while the brass construction adds richness and an extended midrange that helps it project clearly in both live and studio settings.

1mm Beaded Brass Shell

The 1mm brass shell provides a strong combination of projection, sensitivity and tonal colour. Compared with drier metal shell materials, brass offers a more vibrant overtone character while retaining the definition needed for articulate snare work.

A reinforcing bead is formed into the shell, contributing to the drum's focused response and allowing its natural brass character to remain clear and expressive across different tuning ranges.

Punchy 14" x 5.5" Response

The classic 14" diameter makes this an immediately familiar and versatile snare, while the 5.5" depth keeps the response fast and articulate. Pearl describes this particular Primal Brass size as punchy with an extended midrange, giving it enough presence for strong backbeats while remaining sensitive to lighter playing.

This makes it a strong all-round choice for drummers looking for the lively character of a brass shell without moving to a deeper or more specialised snare size.

Performance-Focused Hardware

The drum is fitted with 2.3mm ten-hole triple-flanged hoops, providing reliable tuning stability while allowing the shell to retain an open and responsive character.

Pearl's PSCL55 dual lugs are mounted centrally on the shell, while the SR-01NRS snare strainer provides simple and dependable control of the snare wires. A Brushed Natural Brass finish completes the drum with a clean, understated appearance that allows the shell material to take centre stage.
