Independent shopping perspective
Pearl's limited-edition Sensitone pairs a 14 x 6.5-inch, 1 mm beaded brass shell with black nickel plating and contrasting gold-plated hardware. The shell is described as warm, sensitive, resonant, and balanced, while the SuperHoop II hoops retain the shell's resonance during rimshots. Its SR017 strainer lets the 20-strand UltraSound wires be engaged or released quickly and quietly during a performance, moving the response from tight and articulate to loose and boomy.
