Our VIRTUE: Humility™ 12" x 6.5" Bubinga-Maple Snare Drum features a custom, hand-rubbed Antique Burst finish over a 9-ply shell consisting of Bubinga veneer over a cross-laminated Maple core. An asymmetrical round-over top edge adds tonal depth and character, which allows you to dial in a rich woody pop for side snare use or utilize it as your primary snare drum at lower tensions. Hand-shaped snare beds are designed to yield a versatile instrument and deliver articulate snare response.
 
Premium hardware includes ten decorative tube lugs, Trick 3-position throw-off, S-Hoop™ rims, Fat Cat high performance snare wires, dual symmetrical air vents, and top-quality stainless steel internal mounting screws. Nylon shoulder washers facilitate smooth, accurate tuning and prevent tension rod rattle at lower tensions, while high-quality drumheads by Remo deliver professional results straight away.
