Handcrafted Snare from the SJC Custom Shop
This 7" x 14" snare is your entry into SJC's world of exquisite custom drums and finishes. Its maple shell sings with the authority of a studio standby. But hand-cut SJC 45 (45°) bearing edges give it a flavor unique to the SJC brand: a crisp, dry bite, a full body, and projection to be heard through a mix. This is to say nothing of its incredible visuals, sporting black nickel hardware atop a richly finished koa wood veneer. SJC's innovative, iconic hardware allows the shell to ring out to its full potential, and a time-honored pairing of Evans USA heads readies this snare for the stage.

Select maple shell with hand-cut edges
As discriminating drummers know, not all maple plies are created equal. That's why this SJC snare drum is built from select plies of North American maple. These woods, in concert with SJC's nearly two decades of custom drum expertise, deliver the powerful projection and crisp, even tone that today's drummers demand. SJC's hand-cut bearing edges allow the shell and heads to resonate to their full potential.
Lightweight black nickel hardware
This snare's hardware doesn't just look killer; it's kept light to reduce shell weight for maximum potential, whatever your tuning preference. Triple-flanged hoops invite an open, classic attack. And SJC's proprietary, spring-less Shield Lugs perform quietly in the studio with solid tuning integrity.
Trick GS007 throw off
The Trick Drums GS007 is one of the smoothest, most dependable throw offs we've tested. Its knurled aluminum knob dials in the right snare tension without fussing or forcing, while its effortless aluminum lever quietly locks snares in the on or off position.
