This STARPHONIC snare drum features a thin 6mm/7ply Walnut shell characterized by its uniquely warm sound and mid-low tone. The Grooved Hoop provides controlled overtones and a slightly mellow attack. The Super Sensitive Hi-Carbon Snare Wires enhance the luxurious and fat sound of the Walnut shell. Finished with a Walnut Burl outer ply in a dark natural finish, this snare looks just as gorgeous as it sounds.
