Adjustment and tuning on the Pearl STH1465S
Within the Sensitone series, each snare drum is fitted with the Pearl SR-150 Click-Lock Gladstone style strainer. This lever locks with a tension screw so your setting stays in place while playing, and the small adjustment system allows smooth fine-tuning together with the included Pearl 20-strand Ultra-Sound snare wires.
The CL-55 lugs and 2.3 mm SuperHoop II are intended to provide even tuning across the whole drum, durability and more stick attack. You also get a Remo USA Coated Ambassador batter head and a Remo USA Hazy Snareside resonant head, a combination that matches this chrome finish.
