Omar Hakim 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Signature snare drum
The new 30th Anniversary snare has a beaded 1mm 14"x6.5" Steel shell. Through a process called Physical Vapor Deposition a unique layer of Titanium Nitride is added to the exterior. This transforms the shell material to a harder surface and giving it a shifting, irridescent purple hue.

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a collective set of processes used to deposit thin layers of material, typically in the range of few nanometers to several micrometers. PVD processes are environmentally friendly vacuum deposition techniques.

Omar's Limited Signature snare also features Pearl's compact Click-Lock throw-off for smooth, sensitive response and single STL Swivel Lugs, all with special Nickel plating.

"Part of the magic of the recording environment is knowing what elements to bring to the table to craft something great. This new snare represents a similar approach: combining familiar elements together for a totally fresh result.

As one that has played a fair amount of Pearl drums in the past three decades, I'm honored to add this one to my tonal palette."
- Omar Hakim

Eric Singer 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Signature snare drum
In tribute to 30 years of drumming together on stages all over the world, Pearl and KISS drummer Eric Singer collaborated to create a new Limited Edition Signature drum with a nod to one of the great snares of Pearl's past.

"I collect classic and vintage Pearl drums. I love the sound and feel of the original Jupiter Chrome-over-Brass models from the 70's, and really wanted to explore that sound with an updated feel.

It has been an honor and pleasure to play PEARL DRUMS for over 30 years and counting. They have truly given me The Best Reason to Play Drums!!"
- Eric Singer

Released on the heels of Singer and Pearl's successful charity drum auction for the Lifeline Charter School in 2016, Eric's new snare begins with a dual-beaded Jupiter-style 1mm Chrome-plated Brass shell. In contrast to the Jupiter's original parallel action strainer, Eric's Limited Signature update features Pearl's compact Click-Lock throw-off for smooth, sensitive response. Each drum is signed by Eric and assures tuning accuracy with Pearl's low-contact CL Bridge Lugs.

Similar to last year's auction drum, all artist royalties from the sale of Eric's 30th Anniversary Limited Snare will benefit school music and arts programs at the Lifeline Education Charter School in Compton, CA.

The Auction drum
To commemorate Singer's 30 year tenure as a devoted drum set artist, Pearl collaborated with famed engraver John Aldridge to craft a pair of one-of-a-kind SensiTone 14"x5" black nickel-over-brass snare drums.

The first, a gift from Pearl to Singer, was presented to Eric by Artist Relations Manager John Farquharson at a KISS concert in Uncasville, CT, while the band was meeting fans in their famous stage make-up.

Each drum features beautifully-figured ornamental fillagree, the KISS logo and Catman icon, a special commemorative 30th Anniversary scroll, and a Kanji graphic representing the Japanese symbol for Power; all hand-etched in the outer shell by Aldridge. In tribute to Eric's passion for watches and drums, his personal drum features an ornate clock face with the word Chronometris (Latin for "Time Keeper",) engraved in one panel.

The 'Auction' drum, features hand-signatures from each member of KISS, will be sold in a special online charity auction with all proceeds from the sale going to benefit the Lifeline Education Charter School. Benefiting their music and arts programs.

Modern Utility Snare Drums
Fusing reliability and flexibility for today's demanding gigging environment, Pearl has developed Modern Utility: a line of no-nonsense, well-appointed snare drums priced with the active working player in mind.

Modern Utility's five snare models each feature a 6-ply/5mm all Maple SST shell. Appointed with the Pearl CL Bridge Lug and SR700 strainer, each Modern Utility snare is priced to allow the active working player an expanded voice, is flexible enough to add to any set-up, and strong enough to stand up to constant play.



Kevin Packard, Pearl's Combo Marketing Manager:
"Being part of the drumming community here in Nashville, we've learned most players have heard and seen it all. With so many playing situations in one town, drummers just want reliable gear that will deliver the goods without a flashy message or promise. Modern Utility snares let you do that."
