How to choose
Match shell material and depth to the tone and cut you want from your snare.
Beginner
A drummer choosing their first upgrade snare can try the Venom or Equinox for a versatile all round tone, and setting the tension evenly around the drum head when tuning helps it sound its best.
Intermediate
A drummer wanting more attack for rock or metal styles might prefer the Metallion brass snare or the Persuader hammered brass snare, comparing them against a maple option like the Razor for a warmer alternative.
Expert
An experienced drummer building a collection of snares for different sessions can pick between the smaller Warbird at 12 x 5.5 inch for a higher pitched crack and deeper models like the Cyrus at 14 x 6 inch for more body, tuning each to suit the room and the song.
