Pearl Duoluxe Snare Drums – Drummer’s Review

Here’s our review of a pair of Pearl Duoluxe snare drums, featuring…

  • 14″ x 5″ & 14″ x 6.5″ models available,
  • released 2021 to celebrate Pearl’s 75th anniversary,
  • 1mm chrome plated brass shells,
  • double inverted beading with nicotine white pearl inlay,
  • 10 x double ended Pearl ‘Battleship’ lugs,
  • 2.3mm Pearl ‘SuperHoop II’ steel hoops,
  • Remo Smooth White batter / Hazy Snare Side heads,
  • Pearl SR-017 snare strainer.

Pearl says…”In celebration three-quarters of a century of iconic drumming sounds and sciences, Pearl presents Duoluxe: modern take on a legendary, “inter-planetary” snare drum sound.

With the look and rigidity of our trademark dual inverted shell beads, Pearl takes the chrome-over-brass alloy shell of our classic Jupiter snare and inlays it with two finish bands of Nicotine White Marine Pearl. This gives the shell a singular look and adds tonal control to its unbridled sound.

Our “Battleship” Lugs, smooth SR017 Strainer, and solid 2.3mm SuperHoop II triple-flanged hoops balance out the package, for classically graceful drumming charisma.

A classic Pearl formula for exceptional snare drum sound. Experience the Jupiter sound with a dynamic new look.”

Pearl Duoluxe Snare Drums – UK RRP: 14″ x 5″ – £507.00, 14″ x 6.5″ – £553.00

Sakae Osaka Heritage Evolved Shell Pack – Drummer’s Review

Here’s our review of a Sakae Osaka Heritage Evolved shell pack and matching snare drum (available separately), featuring…

  • 22″ x 18″ bass drum,
  • 10″ x 7″ & 12″ x 7″ rack toms,
  • 16″ x 14″ floor tom,

  • REMO-made heads fitted throughout.

Sakae Osaka Heritage says…”The first shell kit from SAKAE OSAKA HERITAGE, Evolved, builds on everything that was great about the legendary Sakae Almighty drum kit recognized internationally as one of the best drum kits ever produced.

Tsuji Producer of SAKAE, says “We accomplished The Almighty during some difficult days for Sakae, and despite this we humbly believe it is an excellent product. We know many people think of this kit when they hear the name of SAKAE Drums and they respect it very much. So, for Evolved, we knew we had to surpass that already great product and make it uniquely brilliant at the same time.”

Like The Almighty, the new Evolved kit is made of specially sourced high-quality Maple wood emphasizing a perfectly balanced sound and rich harmonics, while taking the drive for perfection to new heights by fine tuning the number of plies (thickness of the wood) as well as enhancing many other elements, all combining to further refine the sound. Only a few hundred Evolved kits will be produced each year to ensure Sake delivers one of the highest quality, best sounding drum kits.”
