New snare

I love this snare! Very versatile and great build!
Rated 5/5

Great Snare

I was looking to upgrade from my export snare for a while, I looked into the maple snares but then stumbled upon this beautiful thing. For the price it is amazing and the sound is great. I looked into numerous reviews on this drum and all were favorable. Glad I purchased this drum, I will get a maple pearl later.
Rated 5/5

Awesome Snare

As a studio Drummer I have allot of difference snare drums, but I must say this Pearl Sensitone Nickle over Brass snare drum is may favorite, I have never enjoyed a snare of this caliber at this price point. It sound extremely close to a Ludwig Black beauty but at half the cost. I added puresound super30 snare wires and it sounds FAT. If you've been looking for a snare, get this snare before to price and it's reputation goes up.
