Pearl MH1460/B Matt Halpern Signature Snare 14"x6"

Matt Halpern Brass Snare Drum with Evans Heads

The Pearl MH1460/B Matt Halpern Signature Snare 14"x6" convinces with brute sound, Evans heads and MasterCast hoops. The 14"x6" shell is made of brass and has a thickness of 1,5 mm. The matte black powder coating gives the Pearl Snare a classy look in combination with the contrasting yellow inlays of the STL-55MH/B lugs. MasterCast cast hoops on both sides focus the sound and give high stability. The ultra-sound SN-1420I snare wire promises excellent sound with a clear and explosive fundamental character with the Evans Heavyweight B14HWD head.

"There were a number of different, yet very important goals that came into play when designing this snare drum. First off, it needed to be a drum that I would love to play no matter the setting. Periphery is super aggressive in terms of sound, so it needed to cut through music like that, but also have the dynamic sensitivity for other less heavy musical genres I like to frequent. Another focus was to create a drum that served a unique role that could hold a candle to Pearl's already impressive line of snare drums. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, was to develop a truly desirable, premium drum that wouldn't break the bank for drummers - we worked really hard to put together the right combination of features to build a top quality, incredible sounding snare drum that would never be out of reach financially for any drummer wanting to add it to their inventory! I'm humbled, honored, and excited that we were able to achieve these goals!"
