About the Chorus

We call it the Chorus because it’s the one piece we can’t live without. Made from a black nickel brass 8×14 snare shell with a centre bead, tube lugs and all the upgrades. Those deep, dark tones, with plenty of responsiveness to cut through the mix. Power smash this thing, ghost note it, rimshot the heck out of it — versatility in a big snare drum.

This snare comes in an 8-lug construction to make it easier to tune low. Fewer lugs helps you achieve a lower pitch from your drum — incredibly important for deeper shells like this one. If you’d prefer a 10-lug or 12-lug construction, we can arrange that.
