From sea to shining sea, the spirit of American artistry and craftsmanship comes alive in the SJC Drums Bird of Prey snare drum. Limited to just 25 pieces and available exclusively through Guitar Center, this collectible snare pairs original artwork from artist and illustrator Jay Boucher with premium USA-made construction. The custom graphic is applied to a maple veneer that highlights the natural beauty of the wood beneath, while a 14" x 7" M7 North American maple shell, 3mm triple-flanged hoops, SJC Shield throw-off, chrome and brass hardware, double-ended tube lugs and Evans drumheads deliver the performance and reliability demanded by serious drummers.

North American Maple Tone With Powerful Projection

Built around SJC's proven M7 shell platform, the Bird of Prey features a 7-ply, 5.5mm North American maple shell that produces a full-bodied punch with impressive versatility. Precision-cut 45-degree bearing edges enhance attack, sensitivity and tuning range, allowing the drum to respond naturally across a wide variety of playing styles. Whether laying down heavy backbeats in a rock setting or exploring more dynamic musical territory, this snare offers the warmth, projection and articulation needed to stand out in any mix.

Road-Ready Hardware and Evans Heads

Jay Boucher's original artwork gives the Bird of Prey its visual identity, but the drum is also built for real performance use. 3mm triple-flanged hoops help control unwanted overtones and resist warping under demanding playing conditions, while 3.5" double-ended tube lugs and an SJC Shield throw-off provide dependable tuning and snare engagement. Outfitted with an Evans Coated G2 batter head and Evans 300 snare-side head, this USA-made snare drum arrives ready for the studio, stage and touring work.

Original Artwork by Jay Boucher

Commissioned specifically for this Guitar Center exclusive, artist and illustrator Jay Boucher created original Bird of Prey artwork applied to maple veneer so the natural grain remains visible beneath the graphic. Boucher's background in illustration and interactive design, along with his detailed visual style, gives this limited-edition SJC snare a distinctive identity beyond its maple-shell tone and touring-ready hardware. With only 25 units made worldwide, the SJC Drums Bird of Prey snare drum is built for drummers and collectors who want a rare USA-made instrument with custom artwork and professional performance.
