The reintroduced SensiTone line by Pearl features the same dependable performance of the original series, but with redesigned hardware components and shell compositions. This snare features a 6-ply 5.4mm maple shell with a satin lacquer. The maple shell offers a warm, lush tone with it's trademark smooth resonance. The SensiTone Series is outfitted 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.
