Recording Custom Snare Drums

One-piece lug

The revamped modern design retains the traditional essence of the Recording Custom. Our high-tension one-piece lugs ensure optimum sustain for the core sound, producing a crisp, articulate tone.

6ply, 6mm, 100%(US)Birch Shell

In addition to their punchy power, birch shells are known to reduce unwanted noise and prevent interference when drums are set up side-by-side. The unique sonic characteristics of birch wood ensure that each stroke is clearly delineated, making it widely considered to be the ideal choice for recording environments.

Q Type Strainer

The heavy-duty Q-type strainer is robust whilst offering solid, stable and smooth operation, along with adjustment and snare replacement.
