Detail 01
Piccolo-specific sizing
Mounting hole spacing and body height suit shallow shells; a full-depth throw-off will not sit flat.

GibraltarPiccolo Snare Throw-Off
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement strainer sized for piccolo snare drums. For repairing a broken throw-off or upgrading a stock one on a shallow-shell snare.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drummers whose piccolo snare strainer has stripped or seized
- Keeping a backup part in the hardware case
- Refurbishing an older piccolo snare with worn hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard-depth snares — piccolo shells use shorter mounting spans
- Drummers wanting a lever-throw upgrade with drop-clutch action
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
Throw-off, not a full strainer set
This is the tension/release side. The butt plate on the opposite side stays as is.
Detail 03
Gibraltar hardware line
Generic replacement part designed to fit common drilling patterns rather than one specific drum model.
Detail 04
Under $20
Cheaper than a shell swap. Worth trying before replacing a drum with an otherwise good shell.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my piccolo snare?
It fits common piccolo drilling patterns, but hole spacing is not standardized across brands. Measure your current throw-off's mounting holes and compare before ordering.
02Does it come with snare wires?
No. This is the throw-off mechanism only. Wires, cord, and straps are separate.
03Can I use this on a regular 14x5 snare?
It is sized for piccolo shells. On a deeper drum the body height and hole spacing will likely be wrong.
04What tools do I need?
A drum key and a screwdriver for the mounting screws. Drilling may be needed if the hole pattern does not line up.
