Noble & Cooley Alloy Classic Snare Drum 14x4.75 Black w/Die Cast Hoops

The Alloy Classic is built of cast aluminum and has a 45-degree bearing edge. The casting process gives the drum a porous shell, resulting in denser sound. By tuning the heads high, the drum still maintains the "crack" or "pop" of a metal drum, while looser tunings give way to the warmness more commonly associated with a wood shell.
