Seamless Acrylic Shell Delivers Clarity and Projection
At the heart of this Collector's Series snare is a seamless acrylic shell measuring 5 mm thick, with a 14" diameter and 6.5" depth. Its transparent construction creates a striking visual presentation while delivering the clear, projecting response that defines the drum's sonic character. A 60-degree bearing edge completes the shell design, providing a defined contact surface for the drumheads. The combination of acrylic construction and full-depth snare dimensions gives the instrument a commanding presence suited to a variety of musical settings. Whether incorporated into a live drum setup or used for studio recording, the seamless shell brings a distinctive tonal and visual identity to the Collector's Series lineup.
