FEATURES OF THE INDEPENDENCE MODEL SNARE DRUM

SHELL

Nordic 6 ply, Cherry or Maple.

KEVLAR CORE ROPE

Very low stretch means tighter drums, easier tuning, and less maintenance.

CONVERSION VARNISH FINISH

These custom finishes will outperform lacquer in every category.

CUSTOM CRIMPLOCKED DRUMHEADS

the Quantum Batter Head* is crimplocked in our shop. The fibers embedded in the composite allow for a fairly thin batter head that performs with greater sensitivity, incredible bounce, and good longevity. Melinex 4mil resonant head is also crimplocked for durability, and provides a great snare response at tensions low and high. Patent Pending.

HOOPS

Reenforced Zytel ST “Super-Tough” polymer hoops that can’t be dented with a drumstick. No rim guards needed, no paint to scratch! Patent Pending. 304 Stainless Steel carry plate mounted for use with a sling.

LOYAL LIBERTY STRAINER

Solid bronze thumb screw macro adjustment, with individually adjustable Loyal Snare Anchor*. Gut/cable combo with top of the line natural harp gut, and custom made coated cable. Sand blasted finish will tarnish, taking on character as it ages. 

EARS

Glass reinforced polymer “ear” tensioners. Zero maintenance, thin profile won’t scrape against the shell, will last forever…and ever. Patent Pending.
