Latest Drum News
Our new, next generation Fieldstar Marching Snare Drums offer features not found on any other comparable product on the market today. They are significantly lighter than our previous “Premium” marching line thanks to the use of the high-strength magnesium alloy edge rings and aluminum snare guards. The snare throw-off has also been modified to a more conventional, low-profile lever at the bottom of the drum which also helps reduce the overall weight. The Maple shell delivers and maintains superior tonal quality, resonance, and responsiveness under the most intense performance conditions and temperature changes. In addition to these changes, popular and familiar features such as our ‘Buzz Killer’ mutes and “Detachable Gut Frame” were carried over from the previous line to the new Fieldstar series.
Changes improved play-ability over the prior design due to their significantly reduced weight. To achieve this a magnesium alloy was used for the batter-side edge ring. A low-profile strainer was also added, as well as aluminum snare guards. These changes resulted in a weight reduction of right around 1.3 Kg (2 lbs) compared to the previous model.
These snares come in 2- sizes: MS1412T – 14″ x 12″ Marching Snare shown in Satin Black finish & MS1409T – 14″ x 9″ Marching Snare shown in Satin Black finish
