PearlExport Series Replacement Snare Strainer
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement snare strainer (throw-off) for Pearl Export kits. For drummers whose strainer has stripped, seized, or lost tension, not an upgrade purchase.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Repairing a Pearl Export snare with a broken or slipping throw-off
- Drummers keeping a spare strainer in the gig hardware case
- Restoring an older Export kit back to playable condition
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting a throw-off upgrade — this is the stock part
- Non-Pearl snares, where the mounting hole spacing likely differs
- Anyone whose problem is the snare wires, not the strainer
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Export Series fitment
Drilled and shaped for Export shells. Other Pearl lines and other brands use different hole patterns.
Detail 03
Sold as the strainer only
Replaces the lever side of the drum. The butt plate on the opposite side is a separate part.
Detail 04
$64.99
Roughly the cost of a budget snare's worth of hardware, so worth checking the drum is worth repairing.

Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my non-Export Pearl snare?
It is built for Export Series shells. Other Pearl lines use different strainer designs and mounting patterns, so compare your existing unit's hole spacing before ordering.
02Does this include snare wires?
No. This is the strainer mechanism only. Snare wires and the cord or straps that connect them are bought separately.
03Do I need to replace the butt plate too?
Not necessarily. The butt plate is the opposite anchor and is a separate part. Replace it only if it is damaged or worn.
04How hard is this to install?
Straightforward. Remove the bottom head and old wires, unbolt the old strainer, bolt in the new one, reattach wires and retension.
