Pearl snare drum with aluminum shell
If you need a snare drum that holds up in many situations, the Pearl STH1450AL is a strong option. This 14 x 5 snare from the Sensitone Heritage Alloy Aluminum series uses a 1.2 mm seamless beaded aluminum shell and builds on the well-known SensiTone sound, combining a classic foundation with a modern finish and playing feel.
The aluminum shell delivers a short, dry decay with a clear crack that helps it cut through the mix. You also get strong projection and pleasing overtones with enough character, making this Pearl snare drum suitable for gigs, recordings, rehearsals and other musical settings.
Built for versatile use
The Pearl STH1450AL comes fitted with components that match this model. You play on a Remo USA Coated Ambassador batter head with a Remo USA Hazy Snareside resonant head underneath, combined with a Pearl SN-1420I snare wire and the Pearl SR-017 strainer.
It also features CL-65 and CL-55 lugs, 2.3 mm SuperHoop 2 hoops and T-061L tension bolts. Within the wide drum range at Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from staff who play themselves if you want to compare this Pearl snare with other metal snares for stage or studio.
