SJC Drums introduces the Alpha Copper 6.5"x14" Snare Drum, a highly versatile instrument engineered with a 1.2mm polished, hammered copper shell that delivers a distinct acoustic profile and striking visual presence. This unique metal configuration provides the rich, warm low-end response typically associated with a wooden snare, combined with a generous amount of sensitivity and high-end crack suitable for any playing style. The drum is built with robust 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops for dependable structural rigidity and long-lasting tuning stability, alongside low-mass single tube lugs that minimize shell contact to maximize natural resonance. For seamless performance control, the shell features an immediate mechanical drop-style throw-off strainer that lets players rapidly engage or release the responsive 20-strand snare wire setup. Outfitted with clean chrome hardware accents and performance-ready 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 consistent acoustic output on stage or in the studio.
