Jonathan Pinson Signature Snare Drum 7 x 14

The motivation for making this snare was to create a practical, versatile, yet vintage sound for drummers to use in a concert or studio setting. The primary purpose of the maple/poplar hybrid shell is to give the snare the unusual and unique ability to have both an extreme high and low tuning range. The 45° internal angle of the edge shape makes it easy to tune both low and high. As a result, the sound is vintage and warm sounding. The shell also has a beautiful oil finish. [About snare wire] Compared to the 20 strand, the 16 strand has less of a snare wire sound, giving more sound from the drum shell itself, and resulting in a thicker and “woodier” sound. [About the hoop] After much experimentation I decided that the 2.3mm Power Hoop was the best choice to facilitate the low tuning. [About the internal muffler] My favorite feature about the snare is the internal muffler! If you’re looking for the snare to cut out more of the high end harmonics the muffler does that easily.
