Aluminum Snare Drum

An aluminum snare drum offers many of the same tonal qualities as a steel snare but they are not quite as brash. I cover the differences that shell composition has on sound in this lesson on Metal Drums.

This aluminum snare drum is from DDrum's Signature Series. Designed to capture the sound and fury of Megadeath's drummer Shawn Drover. A skull graphic and Drover's signature have been laser engraved into the aluminum shell. See more signature snare drums.

A unique sound often heard in Brazilian drum music, this aluminum Caixa is often played on the hip or on the shoulder. However, with a snare drum stand they can easily become a part of your drum set.

This model from Ludwig Drums features a brass shell, vintage tube lugs, and the unique sound of the Supra-Phonic.

The 3mm shell of this Pearl aluminum model is one of the thickest you can get from an aluminum drum. Stainless steel tension rods and drum lugs make this a sharp looking instrument. See more Pearl Snares.
