1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement snare butt end, Dunnett design. For drummers rebuilding a snare's wire hardware or upgrading a weak stock butt plate.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a cracked or stripped butt end on a snare
- Rebuilding a used or project snare drum
- Stopping snare wires pulling loose mid-set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers whose problem is the throw-off, not the butt
- Anyone unwilling to drill or match existing shell holes
- Players who need the snare wires themselves
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
Dunnett design
Dunnett is a snare hardware specialist. This is that design produced under Gibraltar rather than generic stock hardware.
Detail 03
Sold as a single part
You are replacing one component. The throw-off, wires and strap or cord are separate purchases.
Detail 04
$18.99
Cheap relative to a whole snare. A failed butt end makes the drum unusable, so it is worth keeping working.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No snare wires, cord, straps or throw-off included
- 02Check the mounting hole spacing against your existing butt plate
- 03Mismatched holes mean drilling the shell — measure before you order
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include snare wires?
No. It is the butt end hardware only. Wires, and the cord or straps that tie them on, are bought separately.
02Will it fit my snare drum?
It depends on your shell's existing hole spacing. Measure the mounting holes on the butt plate you are removing and compare before buying.
03Do I need a matching throw-off?
Not necessarily, but the butt end and throw-off should sit at the same height so the wires lie flat across the head.
04How do I know the butt end is the problem?
Wires going slack on one side, a cracked plate, or stripped tension screw threads all point at the butt end rather than the throw-off.
