This shell with a \u003cstrong\u003ebrushed copper\u003c\/strong\u003e finish continues this tradition with a \"custom\" approach: it is designed as a luthier's base to create a unique snare drum by freely choosing the hardware, tension rods, throw-off, and component layout. Without factory drillings, you maintain control over the final aesthetics, ergonomics, and compatibility with your parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Shell Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis shell is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eDIY drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e, technicians, assemblers, and drum workshops who want to build a custom snare drum, restore an instrument, or develop a high-end \"DIY\" project. It is also suitable for discerning musicians who know exactly what they want in terms of throw-off, lug placement, and hoop type. Stylistically, brass excels in contexts where presence and clarity are desired: rock, pop, funk, gospel, contemporary music, as well as recording, thanks to its very direct response and excellent sensitivity to dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main advantage of this shell lies in its \u003cstrong\u003epre-prepared machining\u003c\/strong\u003e for performance, while remaining fully customizable. The \u003cstrong\u003e45deg bevel\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a clean contact between the head and the edge, improving attack precision, tuning stability, and sensitivity at low volume. The presence of a \u003cstrong\u003esnare bed\u003c\/strong\u003e (a dedicated recess for the snare wires) facilitates the seating of the snare wires, improves alignment, and contributes to a more even response, especially during light strokes and rolls. Finally, the shell is \u003cstrong\u003eunpierced\u003c\/strong\u003e: holes for lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent must be made, allowing you to adapt the layout to your choice of hardware and positioning preferences. To assist you, you can use a \u003cstrong\u003edrilling template\u003c\/strong\u003e such as LO16 or LO26 to correctly place the future holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ebrass\u003c\/strong\u003e snare drum shell is generally characterized by an energetic sound, with a \u003cstrong\u003eclear attack\u003c\/strong\u003e and a natural \u003cstrong\u003eprojection\u003c\/strong\u003e that easily cuts through a mix. The metal's rigidity supports a precise high register while maintaining a solid low-end foundation when tuned lower. This combination makes it an excellent choice for driving backbeats, powerful rimshots, and immediate presence, without losing control when playing more subtly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e1.3 mm thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to the overall balance: robust enough to provide body and stability, yet sensitive to nuances. Combined with the \u003cstrong\u003e45deg bevel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the shell gains definition and responsiveness, highlighting ghost notes, doubled notes, and fast articulations. The \u003cstrong\u003esnare bed\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a cleaner timbre and more consistent snare wire vibration, resulting in precise snare response with fewer dead spots and better coherence across the dynamic range. The \u003cstrong\u003ebrushed copper finish\u003c\/strong\u003e mainly adds a distinctive visual identity and a premium look, perfectly suited for an elegant custom build.\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:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esnare drum shell\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBevel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e45deg\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--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)\"\u003ebrass\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExterior finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebrushed copper\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e1.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrillings to be made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eholes for lugs, throw-off, butt plate, and vent\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSnare bed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePositioning aid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003epossible use of LO16 or LO26 template to correctly place future drilling holes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sparedrum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356781859091,"sku":"403288","price":237.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/7d599dd5665a74fad0cda040f042ff7c40bd7578_SD_SBBC14055ST.jpg?v=1789440265","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sparedrum-sbbc14055st-14-x-5-5-brushed-copper-brass-shell-snare-drum-403288","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
