Signature Snare Drum 12" x 05", Gavin Harrison, Birch, Standard Edition with Tuning Keys, Dampening Rings, Matte Black Lacquer
The Signature Snare is handcrafted in Germany. It is made from 6-ply, premium hand-selected Birch wood to make a thin 6mm shell. The timeless Silky Black finish is offset by white underlays between the chrome fittings and the shell. The snares are available in a Standard and Premium Edition: The Standard Edition includes the snare, a set of 3 dampening rings and 2 Protean tuning keys. The Premium Edition additionally includes a unique Protean case, made by Hardcase UK. The case contains the “EQ” and “Spacer” snare wires, secured in a wooden box, separated from the drum itself.
Features
- Hybrid Bearing Edges - Vintage rounded bearing edge on top, modern 45 degree bearing edge on the bottom for more crispness.
- Hybrid Hoops - The Snares feature S-Hoops on the top side, and a special open, triple-flanged steel hoop on the bottom.
- Unique Dampening Rings - Another special feature is a set of three dampening rings that are available in different widths (Light, Medium and Heavy dampening). Any range of overtone dampening can be achieved by using them separately or combined.
- Protean Tuning Keys - As a touring Pro, Gavin has to tune and exchange heads on a regular basis. Over the years he developed his own technique, which led to the development of a set of two special designed tuning keys. The Protean keys make the exchange of heads and tuning, easier, faster and more convenient.
- Exclusive Snare Wires - Gavin designed three special 8 strand snare wire configurations. The standard assembled snare wire is the “Straight 8”, which features 8 Stainless Steel strands in the center position. Available in the Premium Edition are: “EQ”- features 8 Bronze strands off center. “Spacer” - features 8 Brass strands in different diameter and unique spacing in between the strands.
