WORST PEARL SNARE STRAINER EVER

[DRUMBOO]

1st of all most ppl on this board(including Gene O. Tony L.) know that i´m totally loyal to pearl !

But i have to post this. and ask for the reasons of putting the sr 17 strainer on the ES1465 (eric singer sig snare ) and ? #2 why is the lever attached to the strainer with a rivet and not with a normal screw so u could fix it if it gets loose ... that really bothers me .. i can´t even attach a SR-20 without drilling new holes

never thought about using screws insatead of rivets?

Boo,

I think Eric said OK to that strainer.

I'll pass your suggestion to R&D. We've had problems with the rivet on Export strainers but not on the SR-017. Nevertheless, replacing the rivet with a screw is a good idea.

I've had several comments like that about other pearl products (i.e. drop clutch: I think I mentioned this before). For future reference is there a place that would be good to post comments like that where they are likely to be seen? Or is it just as likely to be read anywhere on the board?

i agree i would think a better strainer on a sig drum i belive it was 399.99 in my drum cat. i would think there would be a better strainer

i think the steve ferrone and the ian paice snare have the sr 17 to .. i forgot one ??

hm actually the strainer itself isn´t that bad the rivet thing bothers me lol

Pearl should drop all strainers and just use the gladstone style ones.IMHO.
Gladstone sytem is the best on the market.
