I’m reluctantly selling my 2014 SS Classic snare. I have a big collection and have decided to begin selling off bits and pieces of it. This is a great drum and needs to be played and not tucked away in a case. 

Since the Civil War, Noble & Cooley has been steam-bending Solid Shell snare drums. The technology has improved, but the tradition remains unchanged. The SS series has been the go-to for studio professionals since the early 1980s. The SS basically launched the boutique snare craze. Each quarter inch thick shell is hand-picked for grain consistency. Noble & Cooley's patented Nodal Point technology ensures that the shell's tone is unaffected by the mass of the lug. If you are a serious working drummer, this is a must-have snare drum!

This snare is in “very good” condition. The only reason I am not listing as “Excellent“ is because there is one tiny nick on the shell and two tiny nicks on the chrome. I have have included photos of these marks. They are hardly noticeable and were challenging to photograph. I have done my best to represent the drum accurately.

The throw off mechanism and the tightening screw are beginning to develop the patina that is normal on SS Classics. 

Please look at my reviews and let me know if you have any questions. 

Thank you for visiting!
