Eight-Inch Steel Authority. Deep Body and Explosive Crack.
1mm Beaded Steel Shell
Pearl’s 1mm beaded chrome-plated steel shell delivers a belting crack, vibrant midrange overtone and crisp high-pitched snap—the immediate, vital voice at the heart of the Heritage Alloy Steel series.
Ultra-Sound 20-Strand Snares
SN-1420I Ultra-Sound wires use a 6mm phosphor-bronze mounting plate, three mounting options and I-Type graduated-tension mounting. The design distributes tension evenly for crisp articulation and dependable general-purpose sensitivity.
SR-017 Snare Throw-Off
The quick, uncomplicated SR-017 strainer provides effortless switching and accurate sensitivity control, making snare engagement and fine response adjustments straightforward during a session or performance.
CL Bridge Lugs
Pearl’s classic Masters-style bridge lugs minimise shell contact, reducing restriction on shell vibration so the steel shell can retain its natural resonance and lively projection.
2.3mm SuperHoop II
Strong triple-flanged SuperHoop II hoops support tuning integrity and confident rim articulation while allowing maximum shell resonance in play.
