This snare embodies the legacy of brass drums that have defined countless recordings, offering a sound that is both powerful and incredibly versatile.

At the heart of this drum is a thin 1mm rolled brass shell, a design long favored for its lively response and wide dynamic range. The black nickel finish not only gives it a sleek, commanding look but also complements its tonal identity—bright, cutting, and full of metallic character.
