CHAMPIONSHIP FFX SNARE
Don’t let the size fool you. This is one potent competitor. These smaller sized 6 ply Maple Snare Drums offer amazing response due to the reduced interior shell volume. Excited air molecules moving within the confines of a reduced interior provide dramatic attack without overtones that can muddy the sound in smaller venues. Nothing but crisp articulate crack. The inherently lighter weight of these drums make them perfect for high mobility events. Available in 3 standard covered finishes.*Special order finishes available.
