DISC Sugar Percussion Painted Poplar 14 x 5'' Snare Drum, Light Blue Overview
The Sugar Percussion Painted Poplar 14 x 5'' Snare Drum is made from a single tree of poplar for ultimate visual and sonic uniformity. The stave shell construction is sonically superior to, and more stable than, ply shells - providing a clearer, warmer tone that sits beautifully in the mix. Perfect for heavy hitters, the Sugar Percussion Painted Poplar Snare Drum remains smooth and controlled regardless to how hard you hit it. This makes the snare perfect for heavier styles, from classic rock to the heaviest of metal.
What about the hardware? The hand-shaped bearing edges and snare beds help maximise the resonance and overall performance of the snare drum. This helps create an incredibly direct and accurate tone, which is perfect for studio and live applications alike. The shell is also fitted with a triple-flanged hoop, exhibiting an open sound and optimal consistency across the entire surface.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionHandcrafted snares with unbeatable quality
Every Sugar Percussion snare shell is sourced from a single tree to provide an unmatchable finish and tone. The stave shells are organised according to grain, creating a smooth visual flow – you won’t find a more authentic-looking, natural finish. These shells are then nurtured, built, and finished by hand to guarantee the best aesthetics and performance. That’s not all though. The shells are rubbed down by hand with polyurethane, before being outfitted with high-quality hardware and Sugar Percussion’s own proprietary lugs. This creates a protective layer for added durability, as well as providing a subtle shine to the natural finish.
Great warmth from the poplar shell
Poplar offers soft high and mids with a boosted low-end warmth. The sound is smooth and eve, making it suitable for a range of styles. Regardless of how hard you hit this snare drum, the sound will be smooth and controlled.
Stave shell construction provides a superior tone
Stave shells consist of vertically oriented blocks that are beveled and glued to create a cylinder. This allows the grain to run in its natural direction to provide the perfect aesthetic for any natural finish drum. Not only does this construction improve the aesthetics of the drum, it also helps provide the best possible sound. Stave shells are more resonant than ply shells and provide fewer overtones for a more direct, accurate tone. These shells are also impressively loud, making them perfect for heavier styles.
Trick drums throw off for quick timbre changes
The Sugar Percussion Painted Poplar 14 x 5'' Snare Drum is fitted with a Trick Drums three-step throw-off and PureSound snare wires. Due to this, you can expect a great sound and performance from the moment you begin playing this snare drum. The Trick drum's throw-off mechanism is extremely smooth and dependable, allowing you to drop the snares quickly for instant timbre changes. This is enhanced by the PureSound snares which are incredibly responsive, and provide a crisp, clear tone.
