The classic in a new edition

The Pearl Sensitone series has been available for over 25 years and has always represented timeless standard sounds at a relatively low price. Since the most diverse variations have popped up over the decades, the manufacturer is now going back to the roots of the popular series with the Heritage Alloy Edition, and is offering a new edition of the classic versions made of steel, aluminium, and brass. The shells are each available in standard sizes of 14"x5" and 14"x6.5" and are largely comparable to the early models in terms of hardware. And a particularly gratifying aspect is that, while creating this new edition, Pearl has also lowered the price.

Back to the roots

In its brass version, the Pearl Sensitone snare drum delivers a rich and complex sound. The shell, which features a black-nickel coating, is made of 1mm thick sheet brass with a seam and, like all models in the series, comes with a 45° bearing edge and a bead in the middle. The triple-flanged 2.3mm Super Hoop II hoops are each attached to CL-Bridge lugs via ten tuning screws, which are just as familiar as the classic SR-017 throw-off from the early Sensitones. The overall workmanship of the hardware is beyond any doubt, and the Pearl Sensitone will also impress across the board with its Remo heads (Ambassador Coated and Ambassador Hazy Snare Side) and the 20-spiral snare wire from Ultrasound.

Solid sounds on a budget

As a modern classic, the Pearl Sensitone series impressively proves that a snare drum that meets professional demands does not have to be overly expensive. If you want to use the classic sounds of steel, aluminium or brass snares, you will find excellently manufactured models with the newly launched Heritage Alloy Edition, which present themselves as solid workhorses with practical equipment both in the studio and on stage. Even if the brass variant is the most expensive representative of the series, the relationship between price, workmanship and sound remains excellent.

About Pearl

The Pearl company was founded in Japan in 1946 and has been making drums since 1950. After initially manufacturing exclusively for other brands, it began to produce drums under its own name in the 1960s. Initially, the company was strongly oriented towards American models, but over the course of time, more and more of its own designs were developed, and ultimately established themselves on the market. Today, Pearl is one of the world's leading manufacturers of drums, percussion instruments, and accessories. A milestone in Pearl's history is the Export Drumkit, introduced in 1982, which is believed to be the best-selling drum kit of all time.

Typical brass

The Pearl Sensitone Brass offers the typical properties of a high-quality brass snare drum and delivers a warm and complex sound with powerful attack and the characteristic bell-like frequencies that are often associated with iconic vintage classics of comparable design. While rock drummers will in many cases prefer the 6.5" deep variant, the 5" version also offers a voluminous, balanced and versatile basic sound that impresses in many different tunings. In the brass version, the Sensitone is equally interesting for use on stage as well as in the studio.

Belle. Polyvalente. Précise.

Je redonne une nouvelle jeunesse à un vieux kit qui me suit depuis bientôt 40 ans, et après avoir consulté des tonnes de vidéos d'évaluation sur Youtube, mon choix s'est porté sur cette Sensitone Brass, que j'ai commandé sans l'avoir essayée au préalable.
Je voulais rester dans la famille Pearl, et remplacer ma vielle Tama qui a si joliment rempli son rôle depuis toutes ces années.

Quelques minutes après sa réception, tous les espoirs ont été comblés, et mes craintes balayées. Elle s'accorde très facilement, sonne instantanément (en réglage bas, médium ou haut), ne nécessite même pas d'atténuateur (ou, si vous y tenez vraiment, un simple ring fait parfaitement l'affaire), et dévoile très vite sa plus belle qualité: elle est extrêmement précise et claire.
Impression confirmée dès la première répète: elle est totalement à l'aise sur les morceaux les plus pop comme sur ceux les plus heavy ou stoner.
Bref, une tuerie à moins de 500€, pour un bonheur quotidien qui vaut tellement plus !

Schwarze Schönheit zum kleinen Preis
Grumpy Owl 12.08.2022
Ich bin selbst kein Drummer, bin für mein Studio (und eine meiner Bands) aber auf der Suche nach einer Snare gewesen, die der Ludwig Black Beauty möglichst nahe kommt. Ich habe mich intensiv beraten lassen und unzählige Klangbeispiele auf YouTube angehört und mich dann auf die Pearl Sensitone festgelegt.

Sie kommt der Black Beauty in ihrer Bauart (14x6,5 Zoll, Messingkessel, schwarz vernickelt) bereits extrem nahe und ist aufgrund der genannten Merkmale gerade für die harte Musik sehr gut geeignet. Es war mir wichtig, hier einen guten Kompromiss aus "old school" und modern zu finden, weil ich im Studio natürlich beides anbieten möchte. Die Sensitone leistet das, denn sie klingt sowohl in sehr tiefen (modern) und moderaten bis hohen Stimmungen (old school) wunderbar und kann die Stimmung halten. Gerade was ganz tiefe Stimmungen angeht, bin ich von der Pearl Snare extrem überrascht, denn da klingt sie fast wie eine 8er Snare, die man ja leichter besonders tief stimmen kann.

Für meine Anwenungen macht die Sensitone alles, was ich von ihr erwarte. Sie ist einwandfrei verarbeitet, kommt bei Auslieferung bereits mit dem Industrie-Standard Remo bespannt und hat sich - bisher - als absolut stimmstabil erwiesen.

Fazit: Es gibt sicherlich günstigere Snares, die ebenfalls das Kriterium "Messingkessel" (und teils auch schwarz vernickelt) erfüllen. Man sollte sich nicht blenden lassen: Je weiter man dan mit dem Preis nach unten geht, umso größer das Risiko, dass sie in mindestens zwei von drei Stimmregionen wie ein Mülleimer klingen. Für etwa den halben Preis einer "Black Beauty" bekommt man hier eine absolut professionell einsetzbare Snare mit bockstarkem Klang.
