Pearl snare drum with a dry, cutting response
For drummers who build a lot of contrast into their playing, the Pearl MH1460/B Matt Halpern Signature Snaredrum brings together attack, control and sensitivity in a clear way. This 14" x 6" snare drum has a 1.5 mm brass shell with Black Powder Coating and delivers a full, lively tone that is kept more focused and dry by the three air vents.
The result is a snare drum with a cutting, dry and versatile sound, along with high snare wire sensitivity. It responds quickly to aggressive playing styles, yet also works well in less heavy settings and across different tunings.
Construction of the Pearl MH1460/B
MasterCast Die-Cast Hoops add extra projection, while the Evans Heavyweight Dry batter head keeps the stroke controlled. On the resonant side, it uses an Evans Hazy 300 head together with a Pearl Ultra-Sound Snare Wire (SN-1420I) for a precise response.
The Pearl SR-150 Click-Lock strainer supports very good snare wire sensitivity. Black brass STL Swivel Tube Lugs, black powdercoated AH-03B die-cast air vents and yellow accents give this black signature snare drum a distinctive look. If you want advice on setup or tuning, Magna Music can also help with players from the shop and workshop.
Who this 14 inch snare drum suits
The Pearl MH1460/B was developed with Matt Halpern and tailored to a complex, contrast-rich playing style. That makes this 14 inch snare appealing to drummers looking for a dry attack, plenty of sensitivity and a usable tonal range in one drum.
With its combination of projection, control and tuning range, this Pearl snare drum fits heavy music well, but also works when you want to bring out more dynamic nuance.
