Detail 01
14 x 5.5 depth
The middle depth. Enough body for a full crack, shallow enough that ghost notes and press rolls stay defined.

PearlConcert Series Snare Drum 14 x 5.5 Piano Black
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 14x5.5 concert snare in piano black for ensemble and pit work. Aimed at players who need controlled, tunable articulation in a section.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Concert band and orchestral pit players needing a controlled roll
- Schools buying a snare that sits under an ensemble, not over it
- Doubling on a second snare for lighter dynamic passages
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Marching lines — this is built for indoor concert use
- Players wanting a loud rock backbeat snare for a kit
- Tight budgets; entry-level snares cost far less
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Concert series design
Built for indoor dynamic range — responds at soft levels where a marching drum would sound choked.
Detail 03
14-inch diameter
Standard size, so replacement heads and most snare stands and cases fit without hunting for odd sizes.
Detail 04
Piano black finish
Gloss lacquer. Looks uniform onstage under lights but shows fingerprints and scuffs more than a wrap.
Detail 05
Concert snare throw-off
Lets you disengage the snares for tom-like passages, which concert scores call for regularly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand included — you'll need a snare stand
- 02No case or cover; add one if the drum travels to rehearsals
- 03Budget for a fresh batter head and tuning time before the first concert
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a drum set?
Yes, it mounts on any standard snare stand. It's voiced for concert control, so expect a more refined attack than a dedicated rock snare.
02Is it good for marching?
No. Concert snares aren't built for outdoor tension and weather. Use a marching snare with a carrier for field work.
03Does it come with a stand?
No. Buy a snare stand separately, and make sure the basket opens to 14 inches.
04What head size do I need?
14-inch batter and 14-inch snare-side heads. Snare-side heads are thinner than batter heads — don't substitute one for the other.
