Premier Artist Series 14" x 8" Birch Snare Drum Stealth Black PAB1408SSBS

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.

7.5mm, 6-ply Birch Core with Ash Outer Veneer: Featuring a core 6-ply birch shell, with premium ash outer veneer, these snares offer a bright, punchy tone with a quick attack, strong projection, and controlled sustain. Birch’s naturally EQ’d properties reduce unwanted overtones, while the thicker shell construction enhances durability and tonal richness. The result is a focused, versatile sound that cuts through mixes with clarity and precision, perfect for any environment.

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.
