Product Description Made In Japan! Custom drum manufacturer Drummer's Bass has released a custom snare drum with a steel shell made in Japan! [CUSTOM STEEL SNARE] The 1mm thick steel shell is 100% made in Japan and is chrome plated and has a center bead. The edges are formed by folding the shell over, creating a unique "Flat Hem" effect. The shell is folded over at 1 inch, then curved to a thickness of 2mm. The head is also made by ASPR, a Japanese drumhead manufacturer. The steel shell's sharp attack and sound image are complemented by a stable mid-low range body and a cohesive sound. It has good response and is an all-rounder that can be used in any genre. [Comment from Drummer's Bass store manager Sean Keating] Originally from Australia, I have lived in Japan for over 20 years. As a drummer, making drums is a part of my life. I have had many encounters through making drums, and I am inspired every day. I want as many people as possible around the world to experience the joy of "making it yourself. playing it yourself." This is "The Drummers Base" for drummers like you. Let's enjoy!
