Pork Pie Little Squealer
Shallow snare in birch and mahogany
Percussion · United States
The Little Squealer is a shallow birch and mahogany snare that became Pork Pie's most widely sold drum: cheap enough to be a second snare and sharp enough to be a first one.

Craviotto Solid Shell Snare
One plank, steam-bent, one seam
Percussion · United States
Craviotto's snares are steam-bent from a single plank of maple, birch, walnut, or cherry, leaving one vertical seam and no glue lines through the shell. They are loud, dry, and dated and signed by the builder.

Q Drum Co. Copper Snare
Hand-formed copper shell
Percussion · United States
Q Drum Co.'s copper snares are formed and seamed in the shop, with a warmer, darker voice than brass and a finish that changes as the drum is played.
-
A&F Raw Brass Snare
Unplated rolled brass, left to patina
Percussion · United States
A&F's raw brass snares ship unlacquered so the shell darkens with handling, and the drums are built with single-flange hoops and minimal hardware. They are as much objects as instruments, which is the point.

Ludwig Supraphonic LM-402
The deep Supraphonic
Percussion · United States
The LM-402 is the LM-400 at 6.5" deep — fatter, a little darker, and the choice when a snare has to carry a track rather than sit inside it. Drummers argue about the pair the way guitarists argue about pickup positions.

Ludwig Supraphonic LM-400
The 14×5 aluminium snare on more records than any other drum
Percussion · United States
The LM-400 is the 5" Supraphonic: a seamless spun aluminium shell Ludwig called Ludalloy, with the P-85 throw-off. It is bright, cuts through anything, and is close to the default snare sound of recorded music since 1963. The LM-402 is the same drum an inch and a half deeper.
