Snare Drums

A standard snare drum ranges from 13 to 14’’ in diameter and 5 to 6.5’’ in depth. It is the go-to snare style for a classic crack, response and timbre. A standard snare drum comes in a variety of materials, including wood and metal, giving different tones for whatever style you’re after.

Deep snare drums have a depth of over 6.5’’. They provide a full bottom end sound - especially when tuned low - and work as a great secondary snare to expand your drum kit and provide more sonic freedom behind the kit.

Piccolo snare drums range from 12 to 14’’ in diameter and 3 to 4.5’’ in depth. They are excellent for providing a super tight snare sound with tons of crack and attack. Their sound works great for styles such as funk and pop.

A popcorn snare drum ranges from 10 to 12’’ in diameter and 4 to 6’’ in depth. They are commonly used as a side snare located just next to the hi-hat. Due to their small diameter, they provide a sharp, poppy sound that cuts through the mix and is useful for getting a unique, stand-out tone.

A signature snare drum is made to the specifications of, and designed by, a signed drummer. Signed drummers range from popular band drummers to solo artists with lots of recognition. Signature snare drums include variations in size, material, finishes and hardware that make each one unique. It is the best and easiest way to replicate your favourite drummer’s sound.

A snare drum used specifically in marching bands, consisting of a deep, loud sound made to project to large audiences. The shells are extremely strong to maintain the correct shape under highly tensioned drumheads. They are played amongst other snare players in the band for a full ensemble in vast, usually outside, environments.
