The 6"x 14" G-Maple snare drum is built on the foundation of a thicker 11mm, 13ply Maple shell that gives it a bright sound, but with a surprising volume and sensitivity. Its 2.3mm flanged hoops and separate low-mass lugs enable the shell to resonate naturally, and enhance its punchy sound. The beautiful Mappa Burl outer ply gives it an impressive and attractive look.
