HOLLOCORE SNARES
We’re continuously searching for ways to improve sound performance. Our latest endeavor is focused on creating enhanced sound with a radical change in shell structure.
Hypothesis: A hollow core shell will produce a more resonant and fat sounding snare drum
The design consists of solid batter and resonant bearing edge sections, with a hollow core made of thin internal and external walls that slip into joints on the bearing edge sections. We audio tested several variants of the design, including different bearing edges, shell thicknesses, lug layouts, and species. The outcome of those design and testing efforts is our new HOLLOCORE snare.

Optimum Bottom Head Tuning
Medium tuning — the drum maintains great articulation across the tuning spectrum, helps cut down on resonance buzz and sympathetic buzz, and more snare wire tension settings sound good with this setup.
