This Dunnett Stainless Steel Snare Drum is truly the essence of a Dunnett Classic snare drum. The drum that forever changed what drummers consider to be the sound of a metal snare drum. The Dunnett Classic stainless steel model offers everything a drummer would want in a metal snare drum - sensitivity, projection, dynamic responsiveness - plus some characteristics you might not expect - warmth, extended playable tuning range, and unmatched value. All Dunnett Classic stainless steel models feature hand-made shells, designed snare beds and bearing edges, quality R-Class components including the patented R2 swivel lever/quick release throw-off system, the patented adjustable Hypervent I air vent, and R6 brass tube lugs.
