Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

Brass is a classic choice for snare drums, used for decades due to its ability to deliver a powerful and clear sound, equally suited for stage and studio. This lacquered brass shell follows a modular assembly approach: you start with a premium sound base and fully customize the hardware according to your specifications.

Who This Drum/Shell Is For

This snare drum shell is aimed at drummers and technicians who want to build a custom snare, as well as workshops, luthiers, and drum building enthusiasts. Ideal for styles where the snare needs to remain present and articulate (rock, pop, funk, gospel, fusion), while still being usable in more nuanced contexts thanks to good sensitivity.

What sound does a 1.3 mm brass snare drum shell produce?

The 1.3 mm lacquered brass promotes a quick attack and strong projection. The definition of strokes remains marked, especially on rimshots, with sustain adjustable according to the choice of heads and the snare.

What are the dimensions of this snare drum shell?

This model features a diameter of 14 inches and a depth of 8 inches.

Does the shell have a snare bed and what is its bevel?

A snare bed is integrated to optimize the seating and response of the snare wires. The 45-degree bevel contributes to a precise attack.

How to position the holes on this Sparedrum shell?

An LO16 or LO26 template can be used for positioning before drilling, depending on the chosen hardware configuration. The assembly then requires drilling the lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent hole.
