SJC’s Alpha Series of snare drums sets the bar incredibly high when it comes to pro-grade custom metal drum making, and the Alpha Copper is a shining example! This snare takes form from a premium 1.2mm sheet of hand-hammered copper, providing a tone that's much darker than most metal snares, and will function just as well in orchestral settings as it will behind your kit. Outfitted with tough 2.3mm hoops, this snare’s trusty hardware comes completely chrome finished, from the long and gorgeous single tube lugs right down to the tension rods. And boasting 20 snare strands underneath, drummers of all corners of the percussive universe looking for a solid-sounding metal snare will appreciate the versatile, middle-of-the-road snappiness of its wire response.
