April 07, 2005

Pearl's has introduced their new Ultra-Sound snare wire designs. Two models, "C" type and "D" type, feature patent pending Graduated Tension snares for extended dynamic range from ultra soft to ultra loud. The S-1420C features "C" shaped end plates with looser tension wires in the centre for outstanding tracking and response and is ideal for rock music and metal snare drums. The S-1420D features "D" shaped end plates with tighter tension wires in the center for sensitivity and is ideal for classical music and wood snare drums.

All Ultra-Sound snares feature non-plated rust proof snare wires and ultra-thin, low mass 0.6mm Phosphor Bronze end plates for ultra quick response. Additionally, the end plates have three mounting options: tunnels for cord mounting that allow the end plates to lie flat against the drumhead for maximum snare-to-head contact; holes for cord mounting where the cords float the end plates off the drumhead allowing a more "open" sound; and slots for straps. The S-1420I features even tension snare wires for those who want traditional snare dynamics but with the benefits of the Ultra-Sound's ultra quick snare wires and low mass end plates.
