Hand hammered snare

Indulge in dark, shimmering tones. Hand-hammered for added depth, this 1mm steel snare delivers richer, darker tones than its non-hammered counterparts while maintaining solid sustain. Chrome-plated Tru-Tune tension rods ensure precise tuning, while the Tri-Throw snare mechanism offers versatility. Perfect for drummers of all levels.

Cut through the chaos with the beaded/hammered steel snare, ideal for a range of genres and playing styles. Its steel shell offers high-end projection and plenty of attacks so your sound really stands out, and the hammered section adds depth and dryness to your tone. Like most of our snares, it features chrome-plated hardware fittings, including Tru-Tune tension rods for pitch-perfect tuning and a Tri-Throw snare mechanism for more sonic variety.
