The Signature Snare is handcrafted in Germany and is offered in two sizes: 14" x 5.25" and 12" x 5". Each Snare is made from 6-ply, premium hand-selected Birch wood creating a thin 6mm shell. The timeless Silky Black finish is offset by white gaskets between the chrome fittings and the shell. The Snare features a vintage round bearing edge on top and the bottom has a modern 45 degree bearing edge. Gavin‘s choice of lugs are the vintage Phonic lugs to add “mass” to the shell while eliminating stress from high tension. The Snares feature S-Hoops on the top side, and a special open, triple-flanged steel hoop on the bottom. Gavin loved the benefits of the new Dual Glide Snare System but took the idea a little further. The open bottom hoop makes the Dual Glide strainer even more versatile, as multiple snare wires can be used and exchanged quickly. Tuning the bottom head with the snares off is much easier.
