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.

Vital instruments tailored to make the gig great, Modern Utility’s five snare models each feature a 6-ply/5.4mm all Maple SST shell. Well-appointed with our CL Bridge Lug and smooth 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.

Effortless touch and clean sound. This is Meinl Pure Alloy. A timeless voice formed with fully lathed surfaces allows them to be expressive in virtually any style. Their refined nature has two sides: polished definition met by a velvety wash that encompasses a full tonal spectrum. Shimmering, smooth sounds bounce right along with your stick to create a reactive touch that extends through all dynamic levels. These cymbals cut with agility. Blanketing their superb stick definition is a sustain that plays out with just the right amount of strength and balanced wash.

The Pure Alloy Extra Hammered crashes feature a medium-thin weight and extensive hammering throughout. They open up easily and speak with a punchy warmth. The attack is quickly followed by a complex roar in the wash that tapers off for a fast decay. 

THE RHYTHM IS IN YOU ...the right gear is essential for setting it free. No toys or hand-me-downs; a new, complete drum set package with everything you need to start your rhythmic journey to the big time.

THE FEEL OF AN ACOUSTIC KICK DRUM (BUT QUIETER)

A nice solid kick drum usually comes with a nice loud noise. Sometimes that’s exactly what you want, but your family or neighbors may not feel the same way. The KD-10 kick pad absorbs much of the noise thanks to its rubber cover combined with dedicated cushion, but retains that satisfying kick drum ‘thud’ when a beater buries into a bass drum head, so it’s ideal for playing at home where loud noise may cause problems.

The Pure Alloy Thin crashes open easily with a bright punch followed by a warm wash, then decay quickly for a short sustain. With the swift sound arc, these crashes speak with a pure tonality but never getting in the way of other voices.

Hardcase recommends that 8",10" 12" & 13" drums utilising Suspension Mounting Systems will need the next case size up from the actual drum diameter. This gives extra space around the Mounting System for full Hardcase protection. (14" and 15" are OK)
