Concert Snare Drums
Philharmonic Cast Aluminum
Full-bodied tone, with a higher overall pitch response than traditional maple, at 3mm thick, our exclusive precision-milled Philharmonic Cast Aluminum shell snare drum is one of the thickest metal drums you’ll find. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal and provides the warm, round, full-bodied resonance of a wood shell snare. However, it also possesses the snap, volume, and projection provided by a metal snare. No other concert snare drum can offer this perfect compromise between wood and metal. Since the Philharmonic PHA is a milled cast aluminum shell, its bearing edges are precision-cut and perfect every time.

3mm Cast Aluminum Shell
At 3mm thick, our exclusive precision-milled cast aluminum shell snare drum is one of the thickest metal drums you’ll find. Aluminum is a relatively soft metal and provides the warm, round, full-bodied resonance of a wood shell snare. However, it also possesses the snap, volume, and projection provided by a metal snare. No other concert snare drum can offer this perfect compromise between wood and metal. Since the Philharmonic PHA is a milled cast aluminum shell, its bearing edges are precision-cut and perfect every time. This provides ease of tuning and perfect head seating around the entire circumference of the drum.
SR-505 Triad Silent Strainer
The newly redesigned SR-505 Triad Silent Strainer includes new Captive Adjustment Touchpoints and mechanical improvements of the three independently adjustable snare assemblies. New full, wrap-around guitar wire snare assemblies allow for ultimate sensitivity and tonal expression in the softest range of your playing. In addition, a new Quick Release Snare mounting system maintains your individual snare adjustment settings on all three assemblies for fast and easy snare head replacement and maintenance.
Graduated Tension Snares
A proprietary combination of three unique snare sets (coated cable, stainless cable & snappy wire) using both graduated and even tensioning, offers seamless timbre overlapping and ultra-smooth dynamic transition, plus a greatly extended dynamic and sensitivity range. All snares can be effortlessly changed by simply loosening the adjuster and one drum key rod.
