This multi-wood stave snare drum has a burl veneer on the outside and a walnut veneer on the inside with a non-toxic hard wax finish.
The use of different woods in one shell gives this snare a short sustain and a very warm sound.
The bearing edges are rounded on the outside and 45 degrees on the inside.

Free‑Floating Design for Maximum Resonance

This snare uses a free‑floating system, allowing the shell to vibrate without hardware choking the tone. You get:

• Cleaner resonance
• Fewer unwanted overtones
• Easier tuning
• A more open, expressive sound
• Greater dynamics from snare soft to explosive hard.

And because it utilises standard hardware, maintenance and part replacement are straightforward and cost-effective.

Built for Studio and Stage

Whether you’re recording tight ghost notes or laying into a backbeat on stage, this snare stays controlled, responsive, and full of character.
Rimshots crack with authority, while softer playing reveals the warmth of the wood blend.
