Description

Edit description

Designed for both marching and concert scenarios, the Adams 14"x5.5" Parade line Snare is a versatile and durable addition to any percussionist's arsenal. Known for its superior sound projection and crisp articulation, this snare drum is crafted to meet the demands of both professional and amateur drummers. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting performance, while the attention to detail in its design allows it to stand out in any ensemble.

This snare features a traditional 14-inch diameter, providing a balanced tone that is both deep and resonant.

Additionally, the Parade line snare is equipped with a precise snare throw-off mechanism, allowing for quick adjustments and seamless transitions between passages.

Adams is renowned for their commitment to quality, and this snare drum lives up to that reputation. Whether you're performing in a parade, a concert hall, or a practice room, the Adams Parade line snare delivers a powerful and articulate sound that commands attention.

pretty cool little snare

It has an internal mute system that I really like. The only problem is that it's the same size as my second tom, and I lost the ring, so I had to put that one on it.
