{"product_id":"sparedrum-14x4-fut-laiton-nickel-noir-brass-289230","title":"14X4 Black Nickel-Plated Brass Shell (brass)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass snare drum shells are among the classic staples in percussion workshops: they are valued for their versatility and ability to remain clear even at high volumes. This black nickel-plated version fits within a \"custom\" approach: a shell ready to be configured according to your specifications, whether to recreate a vintage-typed sound or to build a modern, sharp, and precise snare drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is aimed at DIY drummers, technicians, and customization workshops who want to assemble a bespoke snare drum. It is well suited for styles requiring projection and responsiveness (rock, punk, metal, funk, live pop), while remaining relevant for softer settings if appropriate heads and tuning are prioritized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a thickness of 1.3 mm, this shell aims for a good balance between resonance and control. The 45-degree bearing edge promotes a quick response and a precise feel under the stick. The snare bed is designed to optimize the snare wire seating and enhance sensitivity, while the central reinforcement stiffens the shell and contributes to better mechanical stability. Since the shell is unpierced, holes for lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent must be drilled, with the option to use our LO16 or LO26 template to correctly position the future holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrass\u003c\/strong\u003e generally provides an energetic sound with a clear attack, strong projection, and an expressive midrange. It highlights rimshots, maintains definition in ghost notes, and can offer generous sustain depending on the setup (hoops, tension rods, heads) and tuning. Combined with a well-defined snare bed, the timbre gains in response and articulation, helping to achieve a clean and controllable grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eblack nickel-plated brass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sparedrum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54358059974931,"sku":"289230","price":155.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/87d2d3d3fd09d8ee0828d69a5c37c60e394b203b_SD_SBB1404.jpg?v=1789166106","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sparedrum-14x4-black-nickel-plated-brass-shell-brass-289230","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
