Description

Edit description

Step into the world of elite drumming with the Noble & Cooley Solid Shell Sassafras Snare Drum. Celebrating nearly two centuries of legacy craftsmanship, this snare is a testament to the art of steam-bent drum building. Handcrafted from a single piece of beautifully grained sassafras, it delivers a rich and resonant tonal depth that is both consistent and pure. The precision of its hand-cut bearing edges ensures exceptional sonic consistency, making it a stellar choice for both studio sessions and live performances.

The hardware is as intelligent as it is robust, featuring a smooth throw-off system and Noble & Cooley’s patented Cam Action snare wires for seamless playability. Triple-flanged hoops offer versatile tuning options while maintaining a lightweight profile, and the Nodal Point-mounted tube lugs ensure the natural tone of the shell shines through without interference. To top it off, the snare is enveloped in a root beer-scented oil finish that highlights its unique sassafras character.

Whether you're laying down tracks in the studio or captivating audiences on stage, the Solid Shell Sassafras Snare Drum is more than just an instrument—it's a piece of musical heritage.

Key Features:

Crafted from a single steam-bent piece of sassafras wood
Precision hand-cut bearing edges for consistent intonation
Patented Cam Action snare wires for smooth playability
Nodal Point-mounted lugs to optimize the shell's natural tone
Triple-flanged hoops for versatile tuning
