Used Noonan Maple Stave Snare Drum 13x5 Sparkle Lacquer - Very Good

This is a rare, custom-crafted masterpiece from renowned UK drum builder Gary Noonan. Known for his elite, one-man-operation craftsmanship out of Kent, England, Noonan drums are highly sought after for their boutique tone, incredible sensitivity, and exceptional build quality.
This particular model features a premium 13x5 solid maple stave shell. Stave construction delivers incredible projection, structural integrity, and a fundamentally clear, resonant wood tone that cuts through any mix. To add to its high-end pedigree, it comes factory-equipped with authentic, heavy-duty DW lugs, ensuring stable tuning and a premium aesthetic.

Condition Note (Please Read)

Please note that while the wood stave shell is fully intact and structurally sound, the outer lacquered sparkle finish is unfortunately cracked. This is entirely cosmetic and does not affect the acoustic performance, structural integrity, or bearing edges of the drum. It still sounds absolutely phenomenal, giving you a chance to own a true boutique UK custom snare at a fraction of the usual price.
