About Reference One:

THE REFERENCE LEGACY…UNLEASHED.

Where the Many Combine to Create a Singular Instrument.

SHELLS
Individually engineered to make you sound (and play) better.

Derived from the shell blends of the sonically optimized Reference Recipe, each Reference One drum shell is comprised of reduced thickness premium wood layers. The resulting EvenPly shells beautifully capture every nuance of your unrestrained drumming voice.

NEW HARDWARE
R2 Air Tom Suspension System & Gyrolock-L Tom Holder

A giant leap in drum resonance physics, the R2 Air Tom Suspension System improves overall tone by delivering true, uncolored sound from each rack tom, creating a transitional bridge to floor toms. Combined with Pearl's first L-Arm, the GyroLock-L, R2 Air creates the world's most adjustable and tonally pure drum mounting platform.

Hardware Elements Fine-Tuned for Optimum Drum Performance.

Each Reference One tom shell is fitted with MasterCast Die-Cast hoops, the revolutionary R2 Air Tom Suspension System (with your choice of tom arm brackets,) and Pearl's self-aligning STL swivel lug.

SNARE
A Single Hit is All It Takes.

The foundation of the Modern Hybrid Drum Concept offers a smooth balance between pronounced cut and refined tonal punch, Reference One Snare Drums' combination of premium shell and re-established hardware materials create a distinct sonic projection.

By leveraging specific woods, shell thicknesses, and bearing edges exactly where they are most sonically beneficial within a drum set, Pearl's Reference Series originated the modern hybrid drum concept. Building upon this legacy and adding revolutionary enhancements in mounting and shell hardware, Pearl takes the hybrid drum concept to new, unprecedented heights. 

Ultra-thin combination of Masterworks-grade North American Maple and Birch, the 5.4mm EvenPly Six Reference One shell delivers a warm, resonant quality with heightened top-end pop at the strike.

Ultra-Sound "I" type snare wires are used to further increase sensitivity and sizzle by focusing snare tension on the center wires.
