Pearl snare drum with focused attack and plenty of body
If you want a snare drum that responds sharply, stays highly focused and still keeps plenty of body, the Pearl SCD1465MK/186 is a strong match. This 14 x 6.5 snare is built for drummers who demand a lot from their gear and will especially appeal to serious players looking for control and power in one shell.
The sound comes from a 25 mm thick dual-layered Makha stave shell with an extra Thai Oak stave in the center. Pearl uses its Dado Lock method here, which according to the supplied information increases shell strength by 50%. That fits the character of this Pearl StaveCraft snare drum: a powerful hardwood mix, sharp projection and a full core to the tone.
Construction of the Pearl StaveCraft Makha
Each shell starts with two layers of solid Makha wood staves and is then shaved to a perfectly round 25 mm thickness. The hand-lacquered Natural Satin Makha finish lets the wood stand out clearly and underlines the crafted feel of this Pearl snare.
Swivel Tube Lugs and Pearl MasterCast die-cast hoops add extra volume and tuning accuracy. The SR-150 Click-Lock strainer, SN-1420I snare wires and the combination of a Remo USA CS Black Dot Clear batter head with a Remo USA Hazy Snareside resonant head complete the setup. At Magna Music, our workshop can also advise you personally if you want this snare drum adjusted to suit your playing style.
14 x 6.5 snare for modern performance
With its 14 x 6.5 size and 10 rods, this Pearl snare drum is aimed at players who want a solid, precisely tunable snare for demanding use. Pearl describes the StaveCraft series as a fusion of old school craftsmanship and modern performance, and that is exactly what you see in the construction and hardware of this model.
If you are looking for a hardwood snare with clear focus, strong body and a robust shell build, the Pearl SCD1465MK/186 stands out as soon as you add it to your setup.
