A 14x5 professional phosphor-bronze snare with lively crack, articulate sensitivity and a broad musical voice.
Taxes included.
The 14x5 profile puts the shellu2019s articulate sensitivity and piercing crack close to the surface. Its shallower depth keeps the response immediate while phosphor bronze supplies broad colour, smooth power and exceptional sustain.
Pearl forms the shell from 1.2mm phosphor bronze. This polished high-copper alloy supports a broad tonal spectrum, an expanded tuning spread and exceptional sustainu2014crisp and lively at the top, yet bellowing and powerful underneath.
The SR-150 Click-Lock strainer uses an internal C-shaped nylon clip to connect the throw-off arm to the tension dial. It helps prevent the lever from disengaging or the dial from loosening, even at very low snare-wire tension.
Pearlu2019s 2.3mm SuperHoop II triple-flange hoops are designed for tuning integrity without suppressing the shellu2019s natural resonance. Rimshots and cross-sticks stay confident while the phosphor-bronze voice remains open.
The classic CL-55 bridge lugs minimise shell contact and restriction to vibration. Ten SST-5047 tension rods per side give the fine control needed to explore the shellu2019s expanded tuning range.
The SN-1420I system uses 20 even-tension, uncoated strands with phosphor-bronze end plates. It gives the shell optimum sensitivity, keeping ghost notes clear and the central backbeat solid across different tunings.
