Just a quick post. I just purchased a new snare drum and I am quite pleased with it. It’s a Pearl Black Nickel Brass Sensitone Classic II. The specs are as follows:
- 14″x5″, SensiTone Classic II
- Beaded Brass shell, Black nickel finish
- Die Cast “MasterCast” hoops
- Tube Lugs
- SR-017 strainer
- Stainless Steel tension rods
This snare comes highly recommended and has been used by many drummers including Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The snare sound has been described as versatile, very crisp crack with minimal overtones, and it produces a nice mix of the bite of metal and the warmth and darkness of wood. It sounds like it is one of those must have snares and I am looking forward to many years of drumming with this one.
