The Ahead 14’’ x6’’ Maple Stave snare features a unique maple stave shell construction. Unlike most drum shells, the stave shell consists of vertical strips, each glued together and bevelled into a cylinder to form this breathtaking shell. This type of construction delivers unbeatable strength with no stress added to the shell ply through bending. The beautiful vertical grain of the Ahead Maple Stave snare offers a solid and durable shell, this means the bearing edge is on a harder grain to provide clear tones with optimum resonance. Meanwhile, the 6’’ shell depth brings responsivity and sensitivity to this Ahead snare.
High in quality and sound, the Maple Stave snare drum has many features to provide a great playing experience. The Fat Cat Adjustable Snappy snare enhances playing sensitivity whilst also letting you attain a professional sound. Picking up every stroke and producing a large dynamic scope, this well-built snare is perfect for ghost notes and powerful backbeats. This exceptional quality works nicely together with the Dunnet R4 throw off to deliver efficiency, allowing you to fine-tune your snare sound to achieve your unique drum sound.
