Premier Artist Series 14" x 5.5" Aluminum Snare Drum Chrome PAA1455SALU

Introducing the all-new Premier Artist Snare Drum Range - reimagined to give you more choice, more character, and more control over your sound.

With an expanded selection of shell types and a wider range of sizes - from crisp, compact models to deep, resonant powerhouses - the Artist Snare range delivers a dynamic tonal landscape designed to shape and define your signature sound.

Brushed Aluminium: Offering a crisp, dry, and vintage-inspired tone, the brushed aluminium shell provides a sharp, articulate attack combined with a warm, open character. With quick decay and minimal overtones, the characteristics of aluminium deliver the classic “crack” and tight response favoured in studio work or where dynamic sensitivity is required.

Specifically Paired Steel Snare Wires with Copper End-Plates: Every Artist snare is paired with steel snare wires precisely matched to its tonal qualities. The 20-strand wires balance crisp response and natural tone for versatile performance. The 24-strand wires increase contact with the resonant head, producing a brighter, snappier attack and fuller resonance. For deeper body and richer buzz, the 42-strand wires excel at low tuning and live settings, offering a textured, controlled snare sound.

45-Degree Bearing Edge: Cut with a sharp, 45-degree angle, Premier’s signature bearing edge enhances head-to-shell contact for maximum resonance and tonal clarity.

1.5mm Triple-Flange Steel Hoops: Thinner and more flexible, the 1.5mm triple-flange hoops offer a more open, resonant sound with increased shell vibration and a brighter, natural tone.
