The Pearl Primal Brass 13"x7" snare drum brings a balanced, resonant tone with a bit more presence than your average metal snare. Built with a 1mm beaded brass shell, it leans into a sonically-centered voice with slightly “wet” overtones. The 13" diameter paired with a deeper 7" shell gives you a fuller sound and punchy crack, useful across a range of musical styles.

This model features 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops, dual tension lugs, and a smooth snare strainer, giving it dependable tuning and consistent performance. The brushed brass shell adds both visual character and tonal warmth, all while keeping things simple and focused—no unnecessary extras here.

As part of Pearl’s Primal Snare Collective, this snare is designed to be a versatile and affordable addition to your setup. Whether you're after a brushed brass snare drum, metal snare drum, or exploring different beaded snare shell options, this piece fits the bill.

Backed by a two-year warranty and available through Drum Center of Portsmouth (DCP), it's a practical choice for players looking for that raw, responsive brass snare drum tone without the high price tag.
