Featuring a 10-ply Maple VSS shell, this snare had a great combination of body and attack. The 12″x7″ and 12″x8″ snares have been pretty popular lately, with their blend of small diameter and depth.

This particular one features a red sparkle wrap with gloss black inlays, black-chrome hardware, and full-length tube lugs. Red and black, always a classy combo:

This sweet little kit is on the road with the Eli Young Band, working as a perfect kit for their acoustic sessions. This kit featured a 16″x24″ cocktail drum, 10″x6″ snare, and 10″x8″ tom, the standard Deluxe setup.
