Three New Models Added to Pearls Snare Drum FamilyJan 20, 2005 Pearl has introduced three new snare designs that provide a variety of tension levels and three different mounting options to customize snare response. Two models feature Graduated Tension snares that extend the dynamic range of the drum. Less tension allows snares to kick in at lower dynamic levels with greater tension impacting higher dynamic levels. The curved end plates on the S-1420C provide graduated tension with the loosest tension wires in the center. The concaved end plates on the S-1420D provide graduated tension with tightest tension wires in the center. The straight end plate on the S-1420I provides even tension across all tension wires.
