Detail 01
Piccolo depth
The shallow shell means less air volume, so the note is short, high and dry with little sustain.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Shallow steel-shell piccolo snare, 297.99. A second snare for cutting accents and cross-stick work, not a main drum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a high, cracking accent snare to an existing kit
- Studio players wanting a thin backbeat layer next to a main snare
- Loud stages where a deeper snare gets buried
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers buying their first and only snare
- Players who want a fat, deep backbeat
- Anyone needing wide tuning range from low to high
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
Steel shell
Steel is bright and loud with a pronounced ring. It cuts through guitars better than wood at the same volume.
Detail 03
Snare drum, not a kit piece replacement
This is an add-on voice. Most players mount it beside the hats or on a second stand.
Detail 04
Made in China
Production shell and hardware keep the price down. Expect to tune and seat the heads yourself out of the box.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand included — you need a second snare stand to mount it
- 02Stock heads are a starting point; a thin coated batter tames the ring
- 03Shallow shells need careful even tuning or they choke
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as my main snare?
You can, but the short, high note does not carry a normal backbeat well. Most players use a piccolo as a second drum.
02How do I stop the ringing?
Steel shells ring by design. A moongel, a thin ring of tape near the edge, or a coated head cuts it without killing the crack.
03What size stand do I need?
A standard snare stand. Check the basket opens small enough for the diameter of this drum before you buy.
04Does it come with a stand or case?
No. It ships as the drum only.
