GibraltarDeluxe Class Piccolo Snare Throw-Off
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement snare throw-off sized for shallow piccolo snare drums. For drummers fixing a strainer that slips, sticks, or has snapped.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Repairing a strainer that won't hold snare tension
- Shallow piccolo shells where a full-size throw-off sits too tall
- Keeping a spare strainer in the hardware case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Deep standard snares — lever geometry and hole spacing may not suit
- Drummers wanting a fine-adjust, high-end strainer
- Anyone unwilling to match or redrill existing mounting holes
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Piccolo sizing
Short body built to clear a shallow shell. On a deeper drum it can sit low relative to the lugs.
Detail 03
Sold as one unit
This is the lever side only. The butt plate on the opposite side of the drum is a separate part.
Detail 04
Snare wire attachment
Wires connect here by cord or strap. Which one your current wires use decides how the swap goes.
Detail 05
$22.99 part
Priced as a repair item, so a dead strainer costs a fraction of replacing the drum.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Snare wires, cord and mounting screws are not included

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit a standard 14x5.5 snare?
It is built for piccolo depths. On a standard snare it may still bolt on, but check that your shell's hole spacing matches before ordering.
02Does it come with snare wires?
No. Wires, cord or straps are separate. Reuse your existing set if the attachment style matches.
03Do I need to drill new holes?
Only if your shell's mounting pattern differs. Compare the old throw-off's hole spacing to this one first.
04Does this replace the butt plate too?
No. This is the throw-off side. The butt plate opposite it stays, or is bought separately.
