Hey there, drum fans! Yes, that’s right. We’re back at it again for another edition of the DCP Royal Drumble! Now — 4 High-End Metal Snare Drums grace the stage for an unforgettable showdown for Week 5!
I know that Weeks 1 through Week 4 have been incredibly exciting thanks to over-the-top performances from each and every amazing snare drum contender in the competition. But hey, things are just starting to heat up and we’re all here for it! That’s why for our 5th Week, we’re spicing up the contest by featuring four (4) exceptional high-end metal snare drums from Canopus, Ludwig, Mapex, and Yamaha. How ‘bout that, huh? I’m sure you’ll enjoy this iconic head-to-head matchup between these heavyweight drum makers. That’s right. It’s gonna legen— wait for it, —DARY!
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get this party started, tough guy! Here’s Week 5 of the DCP Royal Drumble highlighting 4 Exhilarating High-End Metal Snare Drums!
Ah, what a beauty. Our first contender for Week 5 is no other than the Canopus “The Bronze” 14x4 Metal Snare Drum with Cast Hoops sporting an impeccable bronze drum shell that would surely make you fall in love. Its 1mm thin bronze shell easily cuts through the mix and dominates especially when it is turned medium to medium-high — exactly what you’re looking for in a Piccolo Metal Snare Drum!
The Bronze delivers a warm, bright, and clear tone. But do you know what will surprise you the most? It’s versatility because it can still wonderfully retain sensitivity and articulation even in the lower tuning ranges. So whether you’re planning to use this masterpiece of a metal snare drum on stage or in a recording studio, be prepared to have your mind blown either way. Oh, and there’s more! The Bronze is made extra special with the addition of Canopus Diecast Hoops to give you a little more focused projection. Ah, how about that? This one could well be your next go-to metal snare drum!
Up next, we have this handsome masterpiece of a metal snare drum by Mapex called the “ Black Panther Predator ” and I’m warning you — it looks absolutely stunning!
This metal snare drum is the epitome of Mapex’s long-standing goal and tradition — to create the best-sounding and performing snare drums at an affordable price! I mean, just look at this bad boy. It’s got tons of impressive specs and features: Air Flow Venting Systems, Soniclear Bearing Edges, Soniclear Snare Beds, Sonic Saver Hoops, Other Design Lab Features, and many more! Indeed, the new standard in professional snare drums has arrived, and it is here to dominate the ultimate snare drum competition. Put simply, the Black Panther Predator is the upgraded version of every Mapex metal snare drum that came before it. Some examples are its enhanced sensitivity, easier tuning, better head seating, overall feel and resonance, stronger and deeper pitch, effortless tuning, and more!
Oh, and we’ve also noticed that the Black Panther Predator’s throw-off is immaculate. It operates extremely smoothly and the dialing in snare tension works like a breeze! It’s easily one of the best throw-offs in the market, no question. The best part? This awe-inspiring metal snare drum only costs $549!
Coming in at number three is this mesmerizing DCP Exclusive Ludwig Supraluxe Chrome Over Brass 8-Lug Metal Snare Drum that definitely steals the show with its clean and shining chrome finish! Oh, and before anything else — I’d like to let you know that this bad boy is a VERY LIMITED offering. Yes, you read that right. So if this metal snare drum left you mesmerized and would like to have one for yourself, then might as well act fast and check it out!
The Ludwig Supraluxe is a descendant of the iconic metal snare drum — the 14x5 Chrome Over Brass Supraphonic and the Brass 400 Model also known as “Super Ludwig”. So yes, it’s got all those legendary features but kicked up a notch! That’s right — it’s called “Supra” and “Luxe” for a reason. The upgrades include Chrome Over Brass Hoops, a P86C Throw-Off, and 8 Lugs instead of 10! It also sports a seamless brass shell that is 1.2mm thick with a sleek and gorgeous chrome-plated finish. Also comes with triple-flanged hoops and a Keystone Badge. Ah, now that’s a great-looking metal snare drum, right?
But wait ‘til you discover more of its impressive features! The Supraluxe is indeed a gorgeous metal snare drum designed to deliver a gorgeous sound. It’s made to develop a harmonious synergy between the shell and hoops with enhanced breathability by offering fewer lugs. And that’s what makes it “super”, tough guy. Again, the Supraluxe is an extremely limited edition metal snare drum, buy now while you can!
Alright! Now here comes our final contender for Week 5 of the DCP Royal Drumble — the Yamaha Recording Custom 14x6.5 Metal Snare Drum!
Ah, now this is really interesting. Yamaha’s Recording Custom Line has been one of the all-time favorites when it comes to metal snare drums. Every kit in the lineup is extraordinary, and this one’s no different. It will go beyond your expectations and sweep off your feet in no time as well! First of all, this metal snare drum looks absolutely clean and stunning. It has a beautiful aluminum finish that can easily steal the show whether it’s on stage or in the recording studio. Yes, this metal snare drum is indeed a showstopper. Not only because of its looks but because of its ability to deliver breathtaking sounds!
The Yamaha Recording Custom 14x6.5 Metal Snare Drum is one of Yamaha’s finest metal snare drums, especially with the addition of Steve Gadd’s inputs. They perfected this metal snare drum by adding superb consistency. Allowing drummers to maximize and fully utilize the overall sound functionality of this metal snare drum. It’s simply awesome, and I know you’ll love it!
