The horizontal orientation Walnut ply snare drums have 45-degree bearing edges, and are a great complement to our Walnut ply kits, offering a big, warm and dry tone with a terrific low end. Combined with an eight lug design, these snares have a truly organic, retro vibe while maintaining the classic Noble & Cooley personality.
Rather than placing a single vent hole on the shell simply for manufacturing convenience, we did our research, because that’s the kind of attention to detail we put into each product. If we’re going to drill holes in our drums, we want to do so with purpose. We found that multiple, strategically and symmetrically placed venting holes made a significant difference in both the sound and feel of the drum.
Our snare system includes the snares, the throw-off, and the snare beds, and comes with Noble & Cooley patented cam action snare wires designed to allow tight tensioning without choking the bottom. These vibrate beautifully at medium and loose tensions, and can be tuned up or down as needed. Our brass throw-off is smooth and simple, with snare wires that can be engaged or disengaged easily.
