Cornerstone Titanium Plated Hammered Steel Snare Drum With Bag

This Dixon Cornerstone hammered steel snare is built for drummers who love the spotlight. Crafted for the perfect combination of volume and sensitivity, the 1 mm steel shell has an especially sweet response at mid-to-high tunings. When cranked tight, this snare can really open up, projecting clearly through even the loudest guitars and synths. Thanks to the extensive hammering, the tone has a touch of warmth that’s noticeable even at lower volumes. The 2.3 mm steel triple-flange Power Hoops resonate with the shell to make sure rim shots really sing.

Beyond the sound, what makes this Cornerstone drum stand out is the plating. Titanium-plated snare drums are among the most stunning and sought-after models Dixon makes. Each hammered steel shell is layered with titanium, then heated to a specific temperature to produce a colored mirror effect. Under stage lights, the plating and chrome hardware complement each other perfectly. Look close to see the darkening effect created by the hammer creases, resulting in a cool two-tone effect that is slightly different from every angle.

To keep the drum looking brand new, Dixon includes a nylon carrying bag with velvet fabric lining and a detachable shoulder strap.
