Pearl BRX1455S/C128 14x5.5 Masters Studio BRX Snare Drum in Vintage Sunburst Finish
The BRX series was available from 1999-2006. This drum has a 6-ply (7.5mm) birch shell with Mastercast hoops, CL55 lugs, and SR017 throw-off.

Nice looking birch drum. Again, before the era of thinner shells.

I need to get them outside for some photos.

I've playing the little MCT "Martini" sparkle kit all summer.

I just spoke with Tom Storch about getting a 15x10 "floor snare" done with my next MW order.

This was definitely a unique snare drum for Pearl. I used to love the Piano Black finish (until I finally got tired of trying to keep it clean). I'm completed converted to Matte Black now.

This was a limited edition release in 2012. It has a 6-ply (7.5mm) Kapur shell and was the first 100% Kapur snare Pearl has offered. The hardware includes Superhoops, TB65 tube lugs, and SR017 throw-off.

I like the nice color and grain of this shell. Imagine how nice it would look with upgraded STL tube lugs today.

I have this one, but upgraded the hardware to ARL-65 lugs and SR-150 strainer. I've never like the badge on this one though.
