A steel-shelled snare for a backbeat that bludgeons.
Made with a 1 mm stainless steel shell, the Armory Series Tomahawk snare from Mapex has penetrating accuracy and long-range projection. The focused power of its rimshot is resonant. The steel shell features a rounded 45-degree bearing edge for focused brightness with plenty of volume.
The shell is fitted with a piston strainer and vertical throw-off that enable quick, smooth operation and prevent snare wire tension changes during play. The precision-tooled solid steel Armory Tube Lugs deliver greater tuning accuracy and shell stability while giving the drum an elegant yet modern appearance. The shell also offers a black chrome finish.
