OK…. so you want a premium professional snare drum with the power to play in the loudest bands, and yet the sensitivity to play brushes in a jazz trio. And that drum needs to have plenty of crack and “pop” at the high end, and yet the warmth and body of the best wood drums. Impossible you think… maybe not…..
Noble and Cooley has come to the rescue with their Alloy Classic snare drum. This drum is made from cast aluminum (not rolled from sheet metal), and then CNC machines cut bearing edges and snare beds to incredibly tight tolerances. Add to this the famous cast brass Noble and Cooley throw off, low mass brass tube style lugs, cam action snares, and a choice of heavy triple flanged or die cast hoops, and you have one unbelievable snare drum. This 14" dream drum is available in 6” or 4 7/8 depths, and your choice of black or raw (stunning silver aluminum) shells, with either chrome, back chrome, or brass finished hardware.
So does this drum really deliver all those qualities…..??? We think it does! Learn More
