What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


STL swivel lugs





The Pearl Artist Matt Halpern signature snare drum comes decked out in Pearl's low-mass STL swivel lugs, which are built lightweight so as not to inhibit the vibrational energy of the shell. They also look like a million bucks!





MasterCast hoops add extra pop to the attack





A pair of MasterCast die-cast hoops provides the Matt Halpern signature snare drum with extra projection and note definition while serving up a dry attack. Plus, these die-cast hoops let the Matt Halpern signature snare achieve a greater tuning range than other brass snares.





SR150 Click-Lock Strainer





The SR150 Gladstone-style snare strainer employs a classic design that is complemented with a modern Click-Lock system to ensure your snare will stay engaged even when you’re bashing away. Fast and accurate, the SR-150 snare strainer is perfect for keeping up with your energetic playing.
