  • 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.

  • Sonor Kompressor

    Seamless metal snares in three alloys

    Percussion

    The Kompressor line is a set of seamless spun shells — aluminium, brass, and steel — in the same sizes, which makes it one of the cleanest ways to hear what a snare shell's metal actually does.

  • Sonor Artist Series Snare

    German-made snares in wood and metal

    Percussion · Germany

    The Artist Series is Sonor's à la carte snare catalogue: maple, beech, birch, and vintage-spec shells alongside bronze and brass, all built in Germany to the same hardware specification.

  • A&F Pancake Snare

    A very shallow auxiliary snare

    Percussion · United States

    The Pancake is a shallow snare — often under two inches deep — designed to sit beside a main drum for a high, sharp accent, and it turned into one of A&F's most copied formats.

  • LP Tito Puente Timbales

    The signature timbales of the mambo bandleader

    Hand percussion

    Tito Puente's LP timbales — brass or steel shells with the distinctive deep rim — are the reference instrument for the idiom he did more than anyone to popularise.

  • Pearl Philharmonic Concert Snare

    Pearl's orchestral snare line

    Concert percussion · Japan

    The Philharmonic series covers maple, African mahogany, and brass concert snares with gut, cable, or wire strand options, and is Pearl's contribution to the orchestral catalogue rather than the drum-set one.
