Pre-Owned Offbeat Drum Co. snare that is in overall great condition! These handmade snare drums feature a beautifully patina'd copper shell with maple inner rings/ bearing edges. This assures that the drum heads make full contact on the maple bearing edge, rather than on the copper shell itself. What results is a very warm tone and attack, but plenty of power behind it still!

From Offbeat Drum Co.:
Copper has unique acoustic properties that make it a popular material for musical instruments such as cymbals, gongs, and drums.
Features:
Density: Copper is a relatively dense metal, which gives it a warm and rich tonal quality. It produces a full, round sound that is particularly well-suited for lower frequencies.
Resonance: Copper is a highly resonant material, meaning that it can vibrate at a high frequency when struck. This allows for a sustained and powerful sound that can easily be heard over other instruments.
Damping: Copper has a high damping coefficient, which means it can absorb and dissipate vibrations quickly. This can help to prevent overtones and unwanted ringing, producing a clearer and more defined sound.
Flexibility: Copper is a relatively flexible material, which makes it a durable and long-lasting material, able to withstand frequent use and wear without deteriorating or becoming damaged.
