Pre-Owned Olympic by Premier 14" x 9" | Ev-Entz Music

UK-made Olympic by Premier marching snare with top and bottom snares. The internal top-snare mechanism provides tight, dry articulation under the batter head, while a separate external parallel throw controls the bottom snare for crisp response. The 14" x 9" chrome-over-steel shell delivers bright projection and punch—ideal for parade work, ensemble use, or as a characterful high-tension studio snare.
Pre-owned: fully functional with age-related cosmetic wear (light pitting/marks; uséd heads).

Key Features

Double-snare layout: top snare (internal linkage) + bottom snare (external parallel throw).
Deep 14" x 9" shell: added body and volume for outdoor or ensemble settings.
Chrome-plated steel shell: bright, cutting voice with a focuséd attack.
8 lugs per side, triple-flanged hoops: stable tuning; accepts standard 14" heads.
Made in England: classic Olympic/Premier hardware and build.

Why Choose

Authentic vintage British marching sound with the extra control of a true top snare.
Straightforward maintenance—modern heads and 14" snare wires fit.
