Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around a 1 mm polished brass shell, this 14 x 8-inch Performance Series snare is voiced for focused attack, strong projection, and a controlled amount of overtone. The thin shell responds across soft ghost notes and hard rimshots. Its MAG throw-off and 3P butt plate give you three selectable snare-tension settings, so the wire response can move from tight to looser without rebuilding the setup. TruePitch rods are designed to hold even tension during playing.
