The Horizon shell is a multiple ply design of maple with an inner veneer of mahogany to provide a softer and warmer tone that we immediately fell in love with. The plies are placed horizontally, with the exception of two stabilizing plies, which increases stability and resonance. Think of this as tonally similar to solid shell snares but with the strength of a ply drum. The mahogany exudes a warmth and natural low-end that is sure to excite the senses. Married with Noble & Cooley's precision lugs, we found multiple sweet spots where these drums exceeded our expectations.

These drums are finished in a gorgeous Blackwash Gloss Lacquer, complemented with chrome hardware. These drums look as good as they sound!

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS - VINTAGE TONE WITH MODERN DRUM BUILD QUALITY.

The Horizon Series is the original modern hybrid shell design, so highly sought after in today’s drum community. Unlike traditional cross plies, the horizontal orientation allows the shell to resonate more uniformly, like a steam bent shell. The softer inner ply of mahogany adds a dark tonal quality creating a vintage tone while maintaining the sonic fidelity associated with the Noble & Cooley name. Originally introduced in the 1980s and used to create the samples for Vintage Superior Drummer, these drums became legendary.  We responded to customer interest in vintage tones and recently introduced a revitalized version for today’s drummer. With updated lugs, enhanced venting, CoolMount brackets and new finishes, these kits will satisfy the most discerning drummers.
