The Pearl Primal Snare Collective 14" x 5.5" Copper Snare Drum is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums!
The Pearl Primal Snare Collective 14" x 5.5" Copper Snare Drum combines the deep, full character of copper with a responsive and versatile traditional snare size. Part of Pearl's Primal Snare Collective, it delivers a distinctive metal-shell voice with plenty of body, warmth and character.
Built around a 1mm beaded copper shell, this 14" x 5.5" model produces a fat and restrained response with a rich fundamental tone. Its relatively shallow depth keeps the drum quick and articulate, while the copper construction provides greater depth and tonal colour than brighter, more cutting metal shell options.
1mm Beaded Copper Shell
Copper has a naturally deep and vibrant tonal character, combining the projection of a metal shell with a fuller and warmer response. The 1mm shell features a reinforcing bead, helping to focus the drum while allowing the distinctive character of the copper to come through clearly.
The result is a snare with plenty of body and low-mid presence alongside a controlled overtone profile, making it particularly appealing to players looking for a metal snare that sounds substantial without becoming excessively bright or aggressive.
Fat and Restrained 14" x 5.5" Response
The classic 14" diameter provides a familiar playing surface, while the 5.5" depth keeps the response fast and sensitive. Pearl describes this particular size as boxy, restrained and fat, giving it a strong fundamental character that works well for solid backbeats as well as more detailed dynamic playing.
This combination of compact depth and rich copper tone makes the drum a versatile option for live performance, recording and general-purpose use.
Performance-Focused Hardware
The Primal Copper is fitted with 2.3mm ten-hole triple-flanged hoops, providing dependable tuning stability while retaining an open and responsive playing feel.
Pearl PSCL55 dual lugs are positioned centrally on the shell, while the SR-01NRS snare strainer provides straightforward and reliable control of the snare wires. A brushed finish completes the drum with an understated appearance that suits the natural character of the copper shell.
