Handmade Maple Stave Snare Drum, 14″ × 6.5″

This 14×6.5 copper free‑floating snare drum is built for drummers who want a powerful, articulate, and richly musical snare with exceptional projection and sensitivity. The precision‑made copper shell delivers a commanding voice — dark, punchy, and full of character — while the free‑floating design allows the metal to resonate with maximum freedom.

Copper is renowned for its unique tonal blend: warmer and rounder than brass, yet more complex and harmonically rich than steel. The deeper 6.5″ shell adds body, low‑end weight, and explosive punch, making this snare a versatile choice for studio work, live performance, and players who demand both finesse and authority.

A protective snare drum case is included for safe transport to rehearsals, sessions, and gigs.

Free-Floating Maple Stave Design for Maximum Articulation

The free‑floating system allows the copper shell to vibrate without hardware restricting its movement. This unlocks the full tonal potential of the metal, producing a snare that is open, resonant, and incredibly responsive across all dynamic ranges.

Key benefits include:

• Open, powerful resonance with rich harmonic complexity
• Reduced choking and cleaner, more controlled overtones
• Faster, more stable tuning
• Enhanced sensitivity for ghost notes and nuanced playing
• Explosive rimshot response with deep, authoritative punch
