Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
British Drum Co.’s UK-built Super Seven uses a 13 x 7 in., 10-ply purpleheart shell with a fiddleback sycamore outer veneer under high-gloss lacquer. That 13 x 7 format is described as higher pitched while retaining the shell’s tonal body. Four shell vents add sensitivity and volume, with an added dry edge and clearer definition. The result is positioned for detailed ghost notes and firm backbeats, with enough projection for studio and live drum setups.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio work requiring a higher-pitched snare sound with retained tonal body.
- Live sets needing projected backbeats and articulated ghost notes.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers looking for a lower-pitched snare; the 13 x 7 in. format is described as higher pitched.
