We fell in love with this Metro 6.5x14 Queensland Walnut ply snare drum right out of the box. The Kingswood veneer finished with a satin finish jumps out at you which is complemented by the black nickel hardware. Queensland Walnut is a hard and dense rainforest timber has proven to be an excellent tonewood for musical instruments. This Australian timber produces great tone, giving a clear top end frequency response with full bodied mid and bass. Through our testing, the hardness of the timber combined with 45-degree bearing edges provided a nice focus, sensitivity, and articulation throughout multiple tuning ranges. The ten tube lugs provide a nice and even stretch on the drum heads allowing you to find your ideal tuning with ease. This drum also has the upgraded Trick throw-off giving you added peace of mind that your snare sensitivity settings won’t change on you.

Metro Drums create a sonic space from tonewoods unlike most of their peers. The combination of unique woods and great components make this drum a hidden gem in need of its proper setting. 

The Metro ply shell snare is both dynamic and articulate. These drums have the characteristic volume and projection of the best steel shells, but with a warmth and depth that no metal shell can capture. An expressive instrument with an open, lively sound, these ply shell snare drums respond instantly to even the most subtle stickings.
