Ideally suited for wind ensembles and a wide variety of musical genres, the CSS series has earned an enviable reputation as one the top-selling models in the concert snare drum category.

The updated CSS models provide a significant upgrade from the original CSS series, most notably in their durable 1.2mm chrome-plated steel shells. The 45-degree bearing edge ensures fast transfer of vibration throughout the shell for increased sensitivity and warmth.

Other improvements include a 3-piece zinc/steel tubular lug tuning system to optimize shell vibration and provide more precision in tuning. Also, a Q-Type strainer which enables the snares to be tightened and released quickly and easily. Coiled snares make it effortless to play even-sounding rolls, perfect for both the beginning and intermediate percussionist.
