This Live Custom Hybrid snare is a real gem – the oak gives it a warm, dry tone with a surprising amount of crack. The hybrid construction really tightens things up and gives it a controlled response. It’s ideal for players in rock, pop, or funk who want a professional-sounding snare without the premium-priced tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
The phenolic resin layer adds a touch of damping, resulting in a more focused and controlled sound with reduced overtones compared to a purely oak shell.
The sandblasted UZU finish is fairly durable, but it’s a porous surface so it’s more prone to showing fingerprints and minor scratches.
Its controlled tone and focused response make it exceptionally versatile for both live and studio applications, offering a clear and defined sound.
