Controlled Aggression: The Pearl Matt Halpern Signature Snare

The Pearl Matt Halpern 14"x6" Black-on-Brass Signature Snare Drum (MH1460/B) masterfully balances power and control. Designed in collaboration with the Periphery drummer known for his technical precision, this instrument features a 1.5mm brass shell with distinctive black powder-coating and three strategic shell vents that temper the natural liveliness of brass. The MasterCast die-cast hoops enhance projection and focus, while the Evans Heavyweight Dry batter head delivers controlled attack with minimal overtones. Pearl's SR150 Click-Lock strainer provides exceptional sensitivity and reliability during even the most demanding performances. Visually striking with its black/brass STL Swivel Tube Lugs and vibrant yellow gaskets, this snare offers both stunning aesthetics and versatile performance capabilities. Whether handling intricate ghost notes or powerful backbeats, this signature drum responds with consistent, cutting tone that excels across progressive metal, fusion, and contemporary styles.
