Zildjian 400th Anniversary Alloy Snare Drum

In connection with Zildjian‘s 400th anniversary, the company have created the Zildjian 400th Anniversary Alloy Snare Drum, made from the alloy used to forge Zildjian cymbals.

Here is how the manufacturer describes the instrument:

“This snare drum features a new, innovative shell casting process, using 100% pure Zildjian alloy direct from our cymbal foundry. Developed in collaboration with Latos Drums, the sound qualities of B20 Zildjian bronze inspired us to re-imagine a cast bronze snare from the ground up. While the Zildjian 400th Anniversary Alloy Snare Drum maintains the extreme volume ceiling, projection, and sonic power that cast bronze drums are known for, this drum was designed to be an expressive, deeply versatile instrument, and is equally at home behind an orchestra, in front of walls of amplifiers, in a jazz quartet, or as a platform for creative modern muffling and recording techniques.”
