PearlPrimal Collective Brass Snare Drum - 13 x 7 in.

For drummers who want a fuller and more expressive snare voice, the Pearl Primal Collective brass snare drum delivers added weight and warmth while staying controlled and articulate. Part of Pearl’s Primal Snare Collective, this model is built around a 1 mm beaded brass shell that produces a vibrant and musical response with greater depth than steel designs. The focused 13x7" configuration adds body and punch while keeping articulation tight and manageable in both live and studio settings. Whether played lightly or driven hard, the Primal Collective brass snare drum maintains a confident and responsive character that lets the shell’s natural voice take center stage. Brass Shell Construction With Rich, Musical Response At the core of the Primal Collective brass snare drum is a 1 mm beaded brass shell paired with 2.3 mm triple-flanged hoops to balance openness and control. Dual-tension lugs promote stable and even tuning, while the smooth snare strainer supports consistent operation during extended playing sessions. This hardware combination allows the brass shell’s naturally full and vibrant tone to come through clearly, keeping the snare articulate and responsive as dynamics and tuning shift. Focused Sizes to Match Playing Style The Pearl Primal Collective brass snare drum is available in four sizes: 13x7", 14x5.5", 14x6.5" and 14x8". Each option shares the same brass shell construction and hardware design while offering a different balance of depth, projection and response. This range allows drummers to fine-tune feel and output while keeping the snare’s core tonal character consistent across different setups.
