The PDP 5.5" x 14" Concept Black Nickel over Steel Snare Drum features a dual-beaded 1mm rolled steel shell that cuts loudly through just about anything, ringing with plenty of that metallic edge. The 5.5" depth is a popular choice among drummers - it's deep enough to provide serious power when needed, but the sensitivity of a shallower shell is there for quieter moments and styles of music. This drum comes equipped with dual-turret lugs, a sturdy MAG throw-off, True-Pitch Tuning tension rods with more threads for finer tuning, and Remo heads. The shell has been finished in a beautiful mirror-like black nickel finish that looks fantastic under the lights.
