Majestic Prophonic Brass
Shell Snare Drum
Majestic has released the Prophonic Brass Shell
snare drum, which is crafted entirely from
1-mm brass.
This thin shell features a double beaded
design for strength and a traditional orchestral
metal drum look. The special fold-back of the
formed bearing edge ensures shell integrity
while the snare bed is slightly deeper than most
for optimum cable response. The sensitive char-
acter of the drum makes it an ideal instrument
for pianissimo to mezzo-forte dynamic ranges.
The multi-link strainer system has four
smooth independent triggers in addition to a
master throw off, which allows the performer to
adjust their timbre quickly and easily. The drum
features four different snare cable types, a Remo
Fiberskyn Diplomat batter head, and a Diplomat
Hazy Resonant snare side head.
