Reviews

I don't think you can beat the price/quality ratio
Was in the hunt for a brass snare drum and this was one of the few my sales rep Tiberius recommended. Sounds great at multiple tunings, buzz from my toms dropped dramatically, overall I'm very pleased.

New snare
I love this snare! Very versatile and great build!
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.
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.
