The S.L.P. Vintage Hammered Steel snare is a drum with serious character. Hand-hammered steel creates asymmetric reflections inside the shell, producing complex overtones and harmonics you simply can't get from a smooth shell. The result is a bright, musical snare with depth and texture -- it doesn't just crack, it sings. The satin chrome finish highlights the hammered surface beautifully.

At 5.5 inches deep, this snare sits in the versatile sweet spot that works across jazz, rock, pop, funk, and studio work. The 1.2mm steel construction gives it the brightness and projection that metal snares are known for, while the hammering adds warmth and complexity that smooths out the harshness some steel drums can have. A distinctive, professional-grade snare that stands out in any collection.
