Introduced in 2002, the Multisonic Snare System meets the challenge of repertoire spanning centuries, and allows you to instantly and silently switch combinations of cable and wire, giving the discerning artist complete control over the voicing and character of the drum.

The Multisonic Snare System

The Multisonic System is still the most advanced, versatile, and silent snare system of its kind in the world. Five separate snare units can be tensioned and activated in any combination to suit your musical situation, drum tuning, and performance space.

Different Shells

• Maple Shell

  The 7-ply Maple shells offer an excellent balance of characteristics that have made it a workhorse in concert and orchestral music for over a century. Our bearing edges are shaped to bring out the natural body, warmth, and clarity that maple has to offer.

• Unibody™ Solid Shells

  Unibody™ Solid Shells are crafted in our own facility using hand-picked prime lumber. Solid shells have an added dimension of body and sensitivity not found in other types of wood shells. Play a Black Swamp solid shell snare and watch your colleagues turn their head!

• Beaded Brass

  Brass is a commanding voice in Black Swamp snare drum arsenal. It’s bright and very sensitive, with a character that can cut through the thickest orchestral textures. However it still retains a measure of tone due to the thin wall and flanged bearing edges.

• Titanium Elite

  Titanium is inherently crisp and articulate, but retains a pleasing warmth that will surprise and delight your ears. These drums “play deep” and have an exceptional tuning range. All the hardware holes are cut by laser, and we then craft the bearing edges and satin finish by hand. Truly a fabulous instrument to add to your drum collection.
