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.
Chrome Over Steel: With a striking chrome finish over a steel shell, these Artist shells are bold and resonant, deliving a a powerful, articulate sound with sharp rimshots, clear attack, and long sustain. With a consistent tone and exceptional clarity, they thrive in high-volume settings, giving you unmatched presence and definition.
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.
