Detail 01
Hammered 1.2 mm steel shell
The formed hammering contributes added depth and complexity to the shell’s overtones.

Independent shopping perspective
The 14 x 6-inch S.L.P. Expressive pairs a 1.2 mm hammered steel shell with 2.3 mm triple-flanged hoops for a bright, clear voice and crisp attack. Hammering adds tonal depth to the shell’s overtones, while Starclassic carbon steel snare wires are designed to keep quieter notes, quick fills, and articulation clear. The shallow 6-inch profile, glossy finish, and black nickel hardware give it a focused stage-ready presentation without losing its broad musical range.
