A winning combination. The Ahead 14" x 6" Mahogany/Ash Snare Drum features traditional wood, with a modern design. A 5.4mm mahogany and ash shell creates a bold, thick low-end and a powerful attack. The 5.4mm shell thickness allows the shell to vibrate freely, emphasising and projecting that chunky bass response.
Mahogany is ideal for muted high, smooth midrange and a warm/rich low-end tone. Mahogany provides a vibrant and resonant tone and brings out great warmth in the overall tone.
Ash is well-balanced in both resiliency and hardness, making it a great choice for durable, light and resonant drums. Ash wood shells provide pronounced and cutting sounds, with warm highs, mids and average lows. As well as the sound and durability, ash wood also provides a great advantage to the aesthetics of the drum. The natural woodgrain of ash is extremely smooth and subtle - providing a stunning aesthetic on natural and coloured drum shells.
When combined, you get the best of both. The Ahead 14" x 6" Mahogany/Ash Snare Drum provides a warm and smooth tone with exceptional resonance and projection. Because of this, it is perfect for any stage or studio.
