StudioBirch Wood Hoop Snare Drum

Imagine attack, presence and control in an instrument that is universally musical and incredibly extraordinary in appearance. Birch is revered by drummers seeking to cut through the mix; it is the wood of choice for achieving accentuated highs and lows with reduced mids, producing timbre with striking clarity and punch.

StudioBirch wood hoop snares are constructed from hand-selected birch plies, and have been painstakingly engineered utilizing Taye's exclusive EFS„¢ shell technology to provide the optimum resonance and tonality. Moreover, the durable 14-ply sugar maple hoops give the drum unmistakeable warm and rich overtones and provide an authentic side stick sound.

To top this snare off, Taye applied articulated claw hooks and patented Studded Lug Gaskets remove any metal-to-wood contact allowing the drum to resonate more freely, separating these drums from the rest of the pack.
