"The Steel" Snare Drum is far from ordinary. It is aptly named, because once you play it, it may become "The Steel" snare drum in your arsenal! Canopus designed this 14x5 beauty with a 1.2mm thin steel shell, triple flanged hoops, and 8 brass-plated single point lugs to create a sensitive, responsive and dynamic instrument that will thrive in any musical environment.
