Detail 01
7-ply, 5.5mm North American maple M7 shell
Provides the drum’s full-bodied punch, warmth, projection and versatility.

Independent shopping perspective
Built around SJC’s 14 x 7 inch M7 maple shell, the Bird of Prey pairs a full-bodied, projecting snare voice with a custom Jay Boucher graphic that leaves the maple grain visible. Its 45-degree bearing edges are made for attack, sensitivity and a broad tuning range, while the triple-flanged hoops, tube lugs and Shield throw-off support regular performance use. Evans heads are fitted, so it arrives configured for studio, stage and touring work.
