Snare Drums

If your ideal snare sound lives between the sound of a wood and metal shell, you should listen to the UltraCast Aluminum Snare Drum.

The UltraCast is our exclusive 3mm precision-milled, cast shell snare drum that offers the attack and projection of a metal shell but with a full-bodied warmness provided by the softer properties of aluminum. Its bearing edges are precision cut, providing ease of tuning and perfect head seating around the circumference of the drum. The all-black lacquered coated shell, tube lugs, and SuperHoop II rims will match any kit finish, and the sound will easily fit into any musical genre.

Piccolo and Effects Snare Drums have become some of the most widely used and best selling Snare Drums in popular music today. Their crisp brilliant attack and tight sound with excellent projection have led many players to use them as both a secondary and primary snare. Pearl 13" Piccolo Snare Drums are available with your choice of Brass, Maple or Steel shell. Each offers a slightly different tone and voicing, allowing you to fine-tune the pitch to best suit your personal needs.
