Dry, Focused, and Incredibly Musical. A Studio Staple Reimagined.

The Pearl STH1465AL SensiTone Heritage Alloy Snare Drum delivers that classic dry, articulate aluminum sound—now reengineered with modern precision and build quality. With a 1.2mm beaded aluminum shell, this snare offers crisp attack, short sustain, and a warm midrange that sits beautifully in any mix. It’s a favorite among studio engineers and drummers seeking tight, expressive tone with superb clarity.

The 14x6.5" size brings added depth and body to the shell’s naturally dry character, making it versatile enough for jazz, funk, worship, indie rock, or precision pop sessions. Pearl’s signature SuperHoop II hoops, ARL tube lugs, and SR-017 throw-off ensure rock-solid performance, clean articulation, and effortless tuning.
