Description

New from Doc Sweeney, the Focus Series Snare Drum!

Doc Sweeney is always looking for ways to create instruments with truly distinct sound characteristics. With their HolloCore snare firmly planted on the fat / punchy side of the sound spectrum, they directed their efforts to creating a snare for the other end:Sensitive and Highly Articulate

The Focus Series design is based, in part, on Slingerlands Tone Flange snare of the 1930s. Whereas the Tone Flange uses a detachable metal flange to reduce the internal diameter of the shell (a holdover for their days as a banjo maker), they have created a one-piece Maple shell that reduces the internal diameter just below the batter head to 11. In doing so they direct energy to the center of the snare side head, creating a sensitive and highly articulate snare. The extra mass on the batter side gives the snare plenty of crack.

The FS 14 x 6 stave Maple shell starts out 1.5 thick, which is then milled using proprietary CNC technology to create the shell depicted in image on the right. Shell wall thickness of 0.375 with 45 degree bearing edges on batter and snare sides.

• 6″ (Depth) x 14″ (Drumhead)
