Pearl have also introduced a Premium Mahogany shell SensiTone Snare Drum in 15" x 5" size. SensiTone Premium Series drums feature Pearl's modern ARL Tube Lugs with a bridge style design for increased shell resonance, Chrome hardware, Remo Coated Ambassador batter heads, SN1420I snare wires, high-quality veneers, and a revamped SensiTone badge give these snare drums a memorable finishing touch.

Pearl's SensiTone Series of snare drums are fitted with Pearl's SR-150 snare strainer, featuring a Gladstone style throwoff with Pearl's Click-Lock technology which "locks" the snare lever and tension adjuster to retain your settings no matter how hard you play. The piston slider provides a dependable and smooth action with firm snare tension control. Pearl's SuperHoop II hoops make for even head-tensioning and lasting durability.
