Pearl Artist Matt Halpern designed each element of his Signature Snare Drum to complement -as well as contrast- the complex nature of his playing. Subtle touches, like black powder-coating and three shell vents help to temper the lively tone of its 1.5mm Brass shell. MasterCast die-cast hoops boost projection but Evans Heavyweight Dry heads deliver a controlled attack.

Its SR150 Click-Lock strainer delivers increased sensitivity, while visual touches like black/brass STL Swivel Tube Lugs and striking yellow gaskets, serve to inspire the ideal performance. The end result is a snare drum with cutting, dry, versatility that responds quickly for aggressive play, and serves a variety of styles with an expanded tuning range.

Features

• Designed by Matt Halpern
• Pearl's unique STL Lugs allow for increased resonance, minimal shell contact, and precisely aligned, no-bind tuning. The body and harness of each lug is powder coated in gloss black, but the pivoting tension sleeve is Brass for visual contrast.
• The vent layout in the all Brass shell takes a triangular form for increased air release and drier tonality.
• A strong, reliable Die-Cast hoop for increased volume, attack, and overtone control. Powder coated in Gloss Black.
• Black powder-coated 1.5mm Brass shell for high-volume versatility. Created without a bead to give the progressive, technical drummer articulate, controlled snare tone and high attack
