The DXP 14 Inch x 5 Inch Brass Snare Drum (DXP1450B) brings the classic warmth and projection of brass shell construction to drummers seeking professional tone at an accessible price point. The 10–lug design employs bridge–style chrome lugs that provide traditional aesthetics and reliable tension distribution across the bearing edges. This depth and diameter combination delivers a focused, mid–range crack that sits well in both live and studio applications, with enough body to cut through dense band arrangements.
Factory–fitted with a Remo Coated UT batter head and Remo UT snare side head, the drum arrives ready to tune and play straight from the case. The DB654 strainer mechanism offers smooth, precise engagement and release of the snare wires, with a throw–off action that holds adjustment reliably across extended playing sessions. Chrome hardware throughout maintains a consistent finish, while the brass shell–measuring 14 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep–provides the tonal foundation that brass is known for: bright attack, warm sustain, and responsive sensitivity across dynamic ranges.
