Pearl Sensitone Elite - Nickel over Brass Snare Drum 14 x 6 5 14" x 6.5" Demo / Tuning / Review

this is my review of the Pearl Sensitone Elite Brass Snare Drum 14 x 6.5
I'm not an endorsee (although I once was) - but I just enjoy using Pearl drums and, as is often the case, you play someone else's drums and you like them - that's how I fell in love with this snare..

Evans Coated Genera 360 head on top
Remo Hazy Snare bottom
Puresound Wires (standard)


In my studio I'm using..

Pearl Masters Studio drums (birch shells)
Sabian and Zildjian cymbals
my console is an Amek Recall with Rupert Neve RN1 channels (30 of!)
MOTU DP9.5 software on a MacBook Pro

I'm not using any reverb or processing (you're hearing my room thru the room mics), other than some gates and buss compression (MW 76 inside MOTU Digital Performer 9.5) - and hardly any EQ - I'm trying to keep this as realistic as possible.. and I didn't gate the snare mic..

More about me.....I was in a band called "Paul Colman Trio" in the 2000's - we toured the USA, Europe and Australia for about 5 years...

Since then I've been recording - this is my home studio and I wanted to do some gear demos for you - everyone needs more gear demos! - I find them helpful when looking for new gear...
