The Universal’s fabulous tone all starts with its shell construction. Mahogany provides a deeper snare tone with greater rumble than birch or cherry, but less projection at the same. Its darker presence makes gives it a more robust sound, but it can be easily tuned to match the atmosphere any performance. Just ask our drummers here at Sweetwater: they've found this 6-ply shell resonates in a cross-genre fashion to adjust to just about any playing style. This mahogany-shelled Universal snare is hauntingly dark by nature, but possesses the versatility to meet a variety of tonal needs.
