Pearl Primal Collective Aluminum Snare Drum - 14 x 5.5 in.

For drummers who value clarity over excess, the Pearl Primal Collective aluminum snare drum delivers a dry, articulate response that stays consistent as dynamics change. Part of Pearl’s Primal Snare Collective, this model is built around a 1 mm beaded aluminum shell that produces a fast, sensitive feel with a crisp, immediate attack. Its focused configuration adds body and punch while keeping the sound tight and controlled, making it easy to manage in both live and studio settings. Whether played with restraint or driven hard, the Primal Collective aluminum snare drum maintains a clean, expressive voice that responds predictably under pressure.

Aluminum Shell Construction With Tight, Focused Feel

The Primal Collective aluminum snare drum pairs its 1 mm beaded aluminum shell with 2.3 mm triple-flanged hoops to balance openness and control. Dual-tension lugs promote stable, even tuning, while the smooth snare strainer supports consistent operation during extended playing sessions. This hardware combination preserves the aluminum shell’s naturally dry and crisp character, allowing the snare to remain focused and responsive as tuning and dynamics shift.

Multiple Size Options With Consistent Core Character

The Pearl Primal Collective aluminum snare drum is available in four sizes: 13x7", 14x 5.5", 14x6.5" and 14x8". Each option shares the same aluminum shell construction and hardware design while offering a different balance of depth, projection and response. This range allows drummers to choose a size that suits their playing role while keeping the snare’s core tonal character consistent across setups.
