The SE or Special Edition snare drum borrows many design innovations from our other drums to create something unique and brand new. The staggered lug configuration is based on Bob Gatzen's experiments and success with the Noble & Cooley/Zildjian 380th Anniversary drum. These nodally-mounted lugs more equally distribute the head tension over the shell making for a more responsive drum and more consistent tuning.
The SE features a 7 ply maple shell and available in a 53/4"x13" size. SE drums are built with flanged steel rims only and all hardware is a special black chrome finish. The rim choice is by design intention; the flanged rim lends the drum the warmer, softer, "spongy" characteristics which define its unique voice.
The SE drum features our cam-action snares and is available in any of our finishes.
