SJC Custom Drums - Alpha Copper 6.5" x 14" Hammered Copper Snare Drum with Chrome Hardware and Evans Drumheads - Polished Copper

SJC Drums introduces the Alpha Brass 6.5"x14" Snare Drum, a highly adaptable instrument engineered with a 1.2mm polished, hammered brass shell that delivers plenty of high-end attack and distinct bottom-end resonance. This specialized metal configuration provides a versatile acoustic profile suitable for any playing style or musical genre, making it an excellent choice for both live stage performances and studio tracking sessions. The drum showcases a textured, polished aesthetic featuring sleek single tube lugs that securely anchor the tension rods while minimizing shell contact to allow the brass to resonate naturally. Built for structural durability, it is outfitted with heavy-duty 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops that ensure long-lasting tuning stability and consistent rimshot response over extended playing sessions. For seamless mechanical control, the shell features an immediate drop-style throw-off strainer to quickly engage or release the responsive 20-strand steel snare wire setup. Complete with a clean chrome hardware finish and pre-installed genuine Evans drumheads right out of the box, this snare drum was designed by the SJC team in Massachusetts and precision-crafted in Taiwan to ensure reliable performance and a distinct visual presence.

This Banda snare drum features a ribbed steel shell with 24 lug design that delivers powerful tone and strong projection across musical styles. Designed for versatility, it performs well in Salsa, Rock, and Pop settings. Ideal for percussionists performing in live environments and studio setups where dynamic sound and durability are essential.

SJC Drums introduces the Tour Series Snare Drum, a professional-grade 6.5" x 14" acoustic instrument engineered with a 7-ply hand-selected North American maple wood shell to deliver powerful acoustic projection, a crisp, even tone, and a dry, woody attack. Built to serve as a versatile foundational anchor or an add-on expansion for standard configurations, this standard-sized acoustic snare drum features precision hand-cut 45-degree bearing edges along the shell rims to optimize structural contact with the drumhead for a balanced acoustic voice that blends natural sustain with focused dryness. The multi-ply wood core is outfitted with heavy-duty chrome-plated steel hardware, including thick 3.0mm triple-flanged hoops on both the batter and snare sides that dry out unwanted overtones and actively resist warping during high-impact performance sets. Equipped with ten classic single tube lugs spaced evenly around the perimeter parameters to distribute tension loads uniformly and maintain stable intonation, the configuration features 20-strand snare wires along the bottom head to supply a clean, even acoustic balance of sharp snare snap and textured rattle. Finished in a professional Matte Black protective exterior coat accented by iconic shield badges to shield the underlying maple layers from surface scuffs and transport friction, this durable standalone snare comes factory-fitted with pre-tuned, hand-selected Evans USA drumheads to ensure universal compatibility inside standard third-party basket-style snare stands and complete out-of-the-box performance readiness.
