A snare drum with consistent crack at any tuning.
From the first rimshot to the final backbeat, the Franklin Drum Company 91' Chrome Over Steel Snare Drum delivers the sharp attack, powerful projection and unmistakable presence that drummers demand from a great metal snare. Built around a 1mm chrome-over-steel beaded shell, this 14x6.5" Guitar Center Exclusive snare combines crisp articulation with a full-bodied punch that easily cuts through the mix. Finished with a polished chrome exterior and a distinctive gold Franklin script badge, the 91' offers classic aesthetics, versatile performance and the dynamic response needed for everything from studio sessions to high-energy live performances.
Chrome-Over-Steel Shell Construction
The 1mm beaded steel shell provides the bright attack, sensitivity and projection that have made steel snares a staple across countless musical genres. A flanged bearing edge with an integrated snare bed promotes consistent head seating and snare-wire response, helping the drum maintain clarity and articulation across a wide tuning range. Whether tuned low for a thick, authoritative crack or cranked high for maximum cut and definition, the 91' responds with impressive consistency and musicality.
