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.

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.

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.

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.

Strong triple-flanged SuperHoop II hoops support tuning integrity and confident rim articulation while allowing maximum shell resonance in play.

The deepest body and broadest projection in the range, with an authoritative low-mid foundation beneath the steel crack. The linked 14x5 and 14x6.5 sizes let you compare the same shell and hardware platform at different depths.
