6.5x14 Maple Burst Snare Drum
Find YOUR sound faster with Dialtune's 6.5x14" maple snare.
- Separate dials control the top head and bottom heads.
- Quick-release hoops make changing drumheads a breeze.
- One snare, unlimited versatility.
We use 8-ply maple shells that express warm tones, a very wide tuning range, and a sound that works very well for all styles of music. The tonal quality is produced by multi-ply shells of hand-selected maple, and they offer excellent resonance throughout the tuning range. Tuned tight, these shells deliver plenty of snap and crack, middle range is bright and robust, while tuned looser, the sound is punchy with good reverberation.
We build drums. You make them matter.
Drummer Kristopher Whitehurst
