MINI SNARE DRUM WITH AN UNBEATABLE LOOK: Boasting a 3-ply, 100% poplar wood shell with 7.5 mm thickness and a glossy black hickory wrap, this popcorn snare drum offers exceptional volume and richness, as well as an amazing style. The white-coated head and meticulous attention to detail will make this musical instrument one of your favorites in your percussion kit. Well-built to last for years to come, you can be sure, you wont ever want to replace this soprano snare with another drum! INSTALLED SNARE BEDS: Snare beds are now carved in the drum shell for a tighter snare sound. curved depressions are cut opposite each other into the bottom bearing edge of the drum, parallel to the throw-off and butt plate. The installed snare beds are very popular with drummers as many drummers like a reduction of snare buzz and rattle. This makes all the snares rest flush alongside the bottom of the drum head.
