For sale: Pearl Omar Hakim Signature Snaredrum model Pearl OH1350. This is a 13"x5" snare with a 6-ply African mahogany shell and high-end hardware (2.3 mm SuperHoop II hoops, CL‑55 lugs, SR‑015 Gladstone‑style vertical pull throw‑off, S‑029N wires, etc) 

It was designed with session legend Omar Hakim (Madonna, Sting, David Bowie, etc.) to deliver a compact but powerful, highly versatile sound. It’s often described as having a 'power piccolo' voice: it's fast and cutting like a piccolo, but with more body and warmth than a typical piccolo snare. 

Thanks to its piccolo‑like crack and articulation, but with extra body and a warm, darker/drier tone compared to typical maple or metal snares, the Omar Hakim Signature Snaredrum model Pearl OH1350 has a perfect blend of power, projection, cutting attack and tonal color. Omar wanted a unique voice that would work across his broad session work; the result is a snare that can handle pop, fusion, funk and studio work where you need cut without harshness. Funnily enough, I've noticed that this snare drum is also popular among extreme metal and grindcore drummers because of its intended power, projection and cutting qualities.

There are only a handful of snare models that come up over and over in recordings, live rigs, and drummer discussions, like the Ludwig Black Beauty, Ludwig Supraphonic, Yamaha Recording Custom Snare, and the Tama Starphonic Snare. Based on historical impact, ubiquity in studios, and how often it's referenced, the Pearl OH1350 Omar Hakim Signature Snaredrum is a legendary model that easily rivals the other contenders. Connoisseurs know its value.
