Pearl 14 x 5 snare drum with steel shell
If you want a snare drum that reacts immediately and delivers a clearly snappy sound, the Pearl STH1450S is a strong match. This Pearl Sensitone Steel Snaredrum measures 14 x 5 and uses a 1 mm beaded chrome-plated steel shell, fitting the character of the series: sensitive in response, modern in design and still rooted in a classic snare sound that has proven itself over time.
The chrome-plated steel shell gives this snare a timeless chrome look and makes it suitable for many musical styles. That makes it a practical option for drummers who want one steel snare drum for rehearsals, recording and live use.
Tuning control and even response
Within the Sensitone series, Pearl uses the SR-150 Click-Lock Gladstone style strainer, made to lock the lever with a tension screw so your setting stays in place while playing. The fine adjustment system works smoothly together with the included Pearl 20-strand Ultra-Sound snare wires.
The CL-55 lugs and 2.3 mm SuperHoop II help create even tuning across the entire drum, added durability and more stick attack. That makes the Pearl STH1450S especially appealing for drummers who want control over their snare setup.
Remo heads and overall build
This Pearl snare drum comes with a Remo USA Coated Ambassador batter head and a Remo USA Hazy Snareside resonant head. It also includes the SN-1420I snare wires, T-061L rods and the chrome finish that matches the steel shell and the bright, direct look of the instrument.
At Magna Music, you can also count on practical advice from people who play themselves, which is helpful when you want a snare drum that fits your setup in both size and construction.
