7-ply Maple Snare with Brass Hardware
This all-maple snare from SJC is the add-on you and your kit have been waiting for. The SJC Tour series snare boasts a dry, woody attack that rock drummers of all stripes are sure to love. Its seven plies of hand-selected North American maple are shaped and edged by hand, then finished in a stunning finish available only at Sweetwater with quality hardware for tour-grade looks and tone. Heavy-duty 3.0mm hoops on the batter and snare sides dry out overtones and resist warping — a real benefit for road warriors. The Tour series snare also comes decked out with SJC's iconic shield badges and handsome tube lugs — plus, it arrives tuned up and tested with Evans drumheads.

Built from select plies of North American maple
Maple is king of the stage and studio. However, as discriminating drummers know, not all maple is created equal. That's why your SJC Tour snare drum is built from seven select plies of North American maple. These woods, in concert with SJC's decades of custom drum fabrication expertise, deliver the powerful projection and crisp, even tone that today's drummers demand.
Hand-cut 45-degree bearing edges
Every SJC bearing edge is hand cut and shaped to perfection. This level of precision allows the heads and shell to resonate to their full potential. It also promotes long-lasting, even tuning.


Tuned up with Evans USA heads
You can play out the day that your Tour series snare drum arrives at your door. That convenience is due to a set of hand-selected Evans drumheads that is pre-tuned by SJC before your snare leaves their facility. Looking for a tour-grade maple snare that's big on sound and style? Sweetwater drummers recommend the SJC Tour series snare drum.
