Starclassic Brass snare drums feature a 1.5mm brass shell that has a softer sound than steel, but these drums still have the power to cut through the din. Die-cast hoops contribute to an overall sound boasting a powerful attack as well as sensitivity and response. The nickel-plated shells feature brushed nickel hardware to create a striking contrast.
