This VIRTUE: Diligence™ 14" x 6.5" Snare Drum features a brass shell and delivers a bright, resonant sound with excellent sensitivity and added body from the 6.5" depth. Distinctive characteristics include ten traditional chrome-over-brass tube lugs, S-Hoop™ rims, and dual-adjustable snare throw-off & butt plate so you can perfectly center the snare wires. Nylon shoulder washers facilitate smooth, accurate tuning and prevent tension rod rattle at lower tensions, while high-quality drumheads by Evans deliver professional results straight away.
