Premier Artist 14" x 8" Birch Snare Drum, Antique Ash & Soft Case

The Premier Artist 14" x 8" Birch Snare Drum produces a deep powerful and highly resonant sound with a fat punchy tone extended low-end and greater sustain and projection from its extra-deep shell. While it delivers a solid crack and ample volume its tone leans dark and aggressive making it ideal for high-energy styles despite slightly slower response and reduced sensitivity at lower dynamics. The 7.5mm 6-ply birch shell delivers a balanced focused sound with richness and fullness in tone resonance and durability while providing a bright punchy tone with quick attack good projection and shorter sustain making it ideal for cutting through mixes. This snare features a 42-strand snare wire that delivers a fuller more resonant and tonally complex snare sound compared to the more common 20 or 24-strand options. 1.5mm triple-flange drum hoops offer a more open and resonant sound that gives the drum a more natural expressive sound.
