The essentials to know about the stave-shell bubinga snare drum
- Bubinga stave shell: a construction that places solid wood at the heart of the instrument’s response.
- 30-degree reinforced bearing edge: a design that contributes to the contact between the shell and the heads, and therefore to the instrument’s sonic character.
- 3 mm steel hoops: equipment that promotes precise strikes and well-defined rimshots.
- 20-strand snare wires and Gretsch heads made by Remo: a combination for working on both subtle nuances and powerful accents.

Who is this bubinga snare drum for?
This stave-shell snare drum is particularly suited to intermediate and advanced drummers looking to refine their acoustic sound. It will appeal to musicians who appreciate the character of the wood, the response under the stick, and the differences in touch between a center hit, an off-center note and a rimshot.
Its combination of bubinga and thick steel hoops makes it an interesting option for rock, funk and contemporary music, when the snare needs to deliver pronounced accents. With suitable tuning and playing technique, it can also find its place in more nuanced contexts, where ghost notes matter just as much as the backbeat.
