Sparedrum SB1407ST - 14" X 7" Brass Shell - Snare Drum

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

This shell is designed for "custom" snare drum projects and shell replacements, with a brass base intended to recapture the sharp and versatile character of metal snares while allowing freedom to choose your hoops, throw-off, and accessories.

Who This Drum/Snare Shell Is For

Intended for demanding drummers, technicians, workshops, and skilled DIYers, this shell suits rock and metal (attack, volume) as well as funk, pop, and studio settings (definition, sensitivity), depending on the choice of heads and timbre.

Features and New Developments

The shell comes with the 45-degree bearing edge and snare bed already completed. The holes for hoops, throw-off, butt plate, and air vent still need to be drilled. For accurate positioning, you can use an LO16 or LO26 template.

Sound Characteristics

The brass provides a clear attack, excellent projection, and a harmonic-rich spectrum, with a very pronounced "crack" on rimshots. The lacquer contributes to a slightly more controlled feel while maintaining the bright and dynamic character typical of metal shells.
