Snare Drums

Truly a drummer for a new generation, Casey Cooper’s energetic performance videos have become an online favorite for over 1.5 Million avid subscribers. In celebration of his dynamic playing, Pearl has collaborated with Casey to create The Igniter: a snare created specifically to instantly improve the sound of any drum kit.

The Igniter’s 14"x5" shell features an all Maple interior to enhance power, tone and projection. Custom flame and pinstripe graphics draw inspiration from one of Casey's signature performances, while CL bridge lugs are augmented by Red gaskets to add to its unique character.

A fantastic value to add to your drumming voice and keep the fire of drumming burning bright, each Igniter snare drum comes with a deluxe Casey Cooper snare drum rudiments poster.
