Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Zildjian’s limited-quantity 400th Anniversary Alloy snare is a 14 x 6.5 in. cast-alloy model created with Aaron Latos of Latos Drums. Its 5 mm precision-machined shell uses different batter- and snare-side bearing-edge geometries, while 8 in. snare beds and 26-strand Vic Firth Canopus wires are part of the response-focused design. The vertical-pull Latos throw-off engages or disengages the snares smoothly and allows player-side tension adjustment. It is built as a special anniversary instrument with extensively machined stainless-steel hardware.
