Premier Artist 14" x 4" Brass Snare Drum, Brushed Brass & Soft Case

Full Description

Fast response for precise playing

The shallow 14” x 4” piccolo dimensions give this snare exceptional sensitivity and a fast attack, making it well suited to playing that calls for crisp definition. Ghost notes, tight backbeats, and sharp accents can all benefit from its responsive character, while its high fundamental tuning range gives you a distinctive piccolo voice within your setup. This combination of speed and articulation makes it useful across Rock, Jazz, Gospel, Pop, Funk, and other styles. Whether you're adding detailed snare work or pronounced accents, its shallow profile helps each strike respond quickly and clearly.

Warm brass with cutting projection

A 1.2mm brass shell balances warmth with the bright projection needed to stand out within a kit. Its full-bodied tonal character and rich overtones give the drum depth, while sharp, cutting rim shots provide plenty of definition when you want accents to make an impact in the mix. The shell thickness also contributes to the snare's high sensitivity, giving you a versatile response across different playing dynamics. This blend of warmth, projection, and sensitivity means you can retain the recognisable character of a brass shell while taking advantage of the faster response provided by the piccolo dimensions.

Explore a wide tuning range

This piccolo snare gives you room to adjust its character around the music you're playing. Its wide tuning range can provide a tight, high-pitched crack or a fuller and more open tone, while maintaining the sensitivity and clarity needed for fast playing and detailed accents. The 1.2mm shell thickness balances warmth, bright projection, and sensitivity across different tunings. This versatility makes it easier to find a snare sound that works for different styles and playing situations without losing the quick response that defines its 14” x 4” dimensions.

Open resonance with classic looks

The 1.5mm triple-flange steel hoops provide a slightly more open and resonant response than thicker hoops, complementing the rich overtones of the brass shell. Eight low-mass lugs provide the shell hardware, while a Premier snare strainer completes the mechanism. A coated batter head and clear resonant head provide the playing surfaces. Visually, the brushed brass shell gives the snare a timeless finish designed to complement a wide range of drum kits, with chrome hardware adding contrast. The result combines the distinctive appearance of brushed brass with the responsive characteristics of a shallow piccolo snare.
