Latest Drum News
It’s a familiar scene, but one that feels new again. You load in, set up, and glance up at an empty room, only this time, you know the room won’t stay empty for long. You move back to focus on the work at hand, tuning your snare, arranging your kit, and getting the rack toms on your S.L.P. Dynamic Kapur kit set just right. The sound guy points in your direction, asks for a few snare hits, tells you give the bass drum a few kicks, and tells you to give a roll or two down the toms. That’s it! The stage is set, and with that, you’re ready to play your first live show in what seems like forever.
Limited Edition S.L.P. Duo Birch Snare Drum
Based on our popular 14” design, the new Limited Edition 16” S.L.P. Duo Birch snare drum takes this innovative concept and carries it forward to explore new tones and timbres. The shell itself is comprised of a 7mm thick, 7ply Birch shell, providing a clear, powerful, and focused tone. As the name suggests, a Duo snare is fully capable of performing double duty as a floor tom (legs included) or as secondary snare drum. The 16” diameter affords a wider and more dramatic sound, and the 10” depth affords all sorts of unique tuning possibilities, especially with the snare wires engaged. The drum also comes standard with the EMAD? head from EvansR. This head comes with two different size foam inserts, allowing the player to easily control overtones by applying just the right amount of muffling for a strong and articulate sound.

S.L.P. Sonic Stainless Steel 14″x6.5″
The LSS1465 “Sonic Stainless Steel” snare, featuring a 1.2mm-thick shell, offers a solid and extremely powerful sound. A newly-developed 3.0mm-thick steel Mighty Hoop provides a clearer attack, even from low to mid tuning ranges. A 30-strand steel coil snare wire delivers a bright and bold snare sound.

In doing so, we came up with an idea that combines vintage design and modern technology. That idea is the essence of our totally new “Grooved Hoop.”
