6.5x14 Brass

ColorRaw Brass
Brass snare shells bridge the gap between wood and metal nicely thanks to the bright, full and open sound. Our brass dialtune snares have a distinct smack that can cut through dense musical performances, and typically carry a vibrant high-, mid-, and low-end; with a well-rounded overall musical sound.

      Wow. Just wow.

      I have looked at these drums for over a year and never pulled the trigger just because I only play at home and they aren’t cheap. Low and behold, my wife buys me one as a wedding gift. They are EVERYTHING and more as described and as reviewed. I have spent a lot of money on other brands/shell materials and this drum lives up to the hype. Well worth the investment. Sounds amazing tuned low, medium, or high, muffled or unmuffled. Just, wow. Once you throw on an Evans ST Dry batter head, I would put this snare up against any other snare on the market. Well done guys!

      A great sounding and innovative drum !!

      Mere words can’t do this invention justice. Nevertheless I’ll say a few things. First and foremost it sounds full in all registers. With other snares, I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking and tuning each lug in order to get it feeling and sounding good. When the sticks fly off a well tuned snare drum, it’s a great feeling and opens your drum skills to a higher level. This drum does that in mere seconds and always sounds great. As a professional who has played a lot of high profile gigs in the last 45 years, I can honestly say this is the best snare drum I’ve ever played. If sounding good and/or being versatile and saving time are important to you then you want to have this drum. It’s worth every cent of its price tag and much more. I hope they develop an entire ‘dial tune’ drum set.

      I love this drum !

      Impressive design. This snare drum is incredible. It feels great no matter what you tune it for and you can tune it in seconds. It’s a ‘game changer’. Especially when you’re playing a lot of different genres. :)

      5 stars all the way!

      At the time of writing this review, ALL reviews for ALL models are 5 stars. There's a reason for that. This drum is actually THAT good!

      (And if someone ever posts a less-than-5-star review, I will only have one quesiton for that person: Dude, what is wrong with you?)

      I won't be describing the actual benefits of this drum - the other reviewers have done a fantastic job doing that. Please be sure to read those.

      I suppose my only complaint would be that my absolute favorite snare drum muffler - Snareweight #5 (not the leather one, the big heavy metallic one) - does not stick to the rim. That thing is held by magnets, and this drum's rim is not magnetic. Not a deal breaker though. Although I'd appreciate some sort of solution for this.

      The other complaint would be that the drum is super-heavy. But boy does that pay off for cross-sticking! All that extra hardware weight certainly rings very nicely during cross-stick playing!

      This drum is everything it promises and more. Nicky Bagz’s demo really sold me
