Frequently Asked Questions
The hammered finish, while visually striking, will show stick marks more readily than a smooth finish. Regular cleaning and careful stick choice can minimize this.
While responsive, the 1.2mm shell is better suited for medium to moderate playing dynamics; heavier hitters might find it lacks some projection and sustain.
The Black Hammered offers a warmer, more complex tone than the Classic Series steel snares, which tend to be brighter and more focused.
