Hi,

I recently picked up a 10-Lug chrome (or steel?) snare drum that says "Ultratone" on the shell. It came with a Pearl strainer mounted on it. The strainer's rather unique in that it functions in a north-south direction.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about this particular brand of drum other than that it's Japanese. Did all of these come with Pearl strainers? Is the Ultratone snare an actual "model" of a Pearl drum? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS in advance for your time and feedback on this one!band2
