Black Swamp Multisonic MS414MD-CB 14x4" Maple Snare Drum, Black

The Black Swamp Mercury Multisonic MS414MD-CB 14x4" Ply Maple Snare Drum features a 7-Ply Maple Shell in a Concert Black Stain. Maple shells offer an excellent balance of characteristics that have made it a workhorse in concert and orchestral music  for over a century. Our bearing edges are shaped to bring out the natural body, warmth, and clarity that maple has to offer.

The Mercury Series drums are designed for the ultimate in clarity and articulation. While these drums are excellent for the audition circuit, they are also versatile enough to find regular use on the snare stand. 

The BSP Multisonic strainer is  still  the most advanced, versatile, and silent  snare system of its kind in the world.

Five separate snare units can be tensioned and activated in any combination to suit your musical situation, drum tuning, and performance space. Here are just three example snare configurations demonstrating the Multisonic's potential to fit in perfectly to your music. 5 different types of wire and cable mix together for unique timbres and the ultimate in versatility. We suggest combinations of 3, but experiment to find your own voice.
