Black Swamp Multisonic MS6514BD 14x6.5" Beaded Brass Snare Drum

The  Black Swamp Multisonic MS6514BD 14x6.5" Beaded Brass Snare Drum is a commanding voice in your snare drum arsenal. It's  bright and very sensitive, with a character that can cut through the thickest orchestral textures. However it still retains a measure of tone due to the thin wall and flanged bearing edges.  Simply and quietly switch from a delicate whisper to an aggressive roar within seconds, or experience every contrasting timbre in between.
The BSP Multisonic 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.
