GibraltarSC-SBE Deluxe Snare Butt End
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement snare butt end — the hardware plate on the batter-side-opposite lug that anchors the snare wires. For repairing or upgrading a snare drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a stripped or cracked butt plate on an existing snare
- Rebuilding a used snare drum that came incomplete
- Keeping a spare in the hardware case for gig repairs
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers whose snare throw-off, not the butt end, is the problem
- Anyone needing snare wires — this holds them, it isn't them
- Vintage or odd-sized snares with non-standard mounting hole spacing
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
Gibraltar hardware
Generic aftermarket drum hardware, built to fit common shell drilling rather than one brand's proprietary layout.
Detail 03
Under $10
Cheaper than the snare wires it holds, and far cheaper than replacing the drum.
Detail 04
Mounts to the shell
It bolts through existing holes. Fit depends on your drum's hole spacing matching, not on drum size.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing butt plate's mounting hole spacing before ordering
- 02Snare wires, snare cord or straps are not included
- 03You will need a drum key and likely a screwdriver to swap it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include snare wires?
No. This is the mounting hardware that clamps one end of the snare wires to the shell. Wires, cord and straps are separate.
02Will it fit my snare drum?
It fits drums with standard butt-end hole spacing. Pull your current plate off and compare hole positions before installing.
03What's the difference between a butt end and a throw-off?
The throw-off is the lever that lifts the wires off the head. The butt end is the fixed anchor at the other side of the drum.
04Do I need to take the drum apart?
Remove the resonant head and snare wires to access the mounting bolts. The shell itself stays assembled.
