Description

Engineered for the discerning drummer, the Dixon Cornerstone 14x6.5″ Titanium Plated Hammered Steel Snare is a masterpiece of both form and function. Designed to command attention, its 1 mm hammered steel shell offers a compelling blend of volume and sensitivity, ensuring your sound stands out whether you're in a cozy club or a roaring stadium. From the moment you strike it, feel the snare's responsiveness, particularly at mid-to-high tunings, where it truly shines. Crank it up, and let the clear projection slice through any mix of guitars and synths.

What truly sets this snare apart is its exquisite titanium plating. The painstaking process of layering titanium over the hammered steel shell creates a mesmerizing colored mirror effect, enhanced under stage lights for a striking visual impact. The titanium plating, combined with chrome hardware, offers not just stunning aesthetics but also durable protection. The snare's visual appeal is further accentuated by the unique darkening and two-tone effect of the hammered creases, offering a dynamic look from every angle.

For the finishing touch, Dixon provides a specially designed nylon carrying bag with a plush velvet lining and a convenient detachable shoulder strap, ensuring your snare remains pristine through every gig and rehearsal.
