Information

This WorldMax Black Brass 14” x 8” Snare Drum is now available with us at Graham Russell Drums.

Built around a 1.3mm beaded brass shell, this 14” x 8” snare delivers huge body, projection and depth while retaining the articulate attack and musical overtones brass drums are known for. The extended 8” shell depth produces a powerful low-end response and thick backbeat, making it particularly well suited to heavier playing styles and situations where a snare needs to cut through dense mixes. Despite its depth, the brass shell still offers excellent sensitivity and dynamic control, allowing for expressive ghost notes and wide tuning versatility.

The drum is fitted with 10 chrome tube lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged Super Hoops, allowing the shell to resonate freely while maintaining strong tuning stability and consistent rimshot response. A traditional S-9 snare strainer ensures smooth, reliable snare engagement, paired with German-made brass-ended snare wires for crisp articulation and fast snare response across the drum’s full dynamic range. Finished in black nickel over brass with chrome hardware, this drum offers a striking modern aesthetic while delivering the powerful tonal character that makes deeper brass snares a favourite for both stage and studio use.
