What We Think

This X-Ray snare drum has a sonic resemblance to a high-quality metal-shell snare drum. It has plenty of crack and loads of volume potential. It features the Designer series lugs, die cast hoops, and the tension rods feature the slotted-head design fitted with Tune-Safe. This feature is a tension-rod locking device that squeezes the threads of the rods. Great for maintaining established tuning. Overall condition is great for this unique and rare top of the line snare drum.
