Full Description

Proudly handcrafted in Taiwan

The SJC Drums 14'' x 6.5'' Pathfinder Snare Drum is proudly handcrafted in Taiwan by a team of passionate drum builders, who share the same vision as SJC. Taking a new approach to expanding their company, SJC are visiting factories around the world to form relationships with other drum builders, allowing SJC to increase their market whilst offering the same attention to detail and high-quality drums that all SJC Custom Drums are renowned for.

The Pathfinder snare

The SJC Drums Pathfinder Snare Drum features a 7-ply Maple and Mahogany shell with 1.3mm triple flanged hoops, offering rich, balanced tones which are well suited to a range of genres and styles. Hand cut SJC 45 degree bearing edges ensure that the shell resonates and consistently stays in tune, making the snare exceptionally reliable. The bearing edges also allow the shell to produce more sustain with an added brightness and attack. Every SJC drum is individually tuned and played before they are shipped to ensure that they are ready to be played upon arrival, meaning that SJC's astonishing tone is at the player's immediate disposal.

Hardware

The featured 1.3mm triple flanged steel hoops encourage open and long sustain so that the tone competently projects and cuts through the mix. SJC Shield Lugs offer better tuning stability and adjustability than tube lugs, making the snare more versatile and dynamic.

With a great sound also comes a great aesthetic. The midnight black satin stain finish upon a maple and mahogany shell gives the snare a unique, custom, look and feel whilst maintaining its distinctively warm and smooth tone. The SJC badge is located on the front of the snare shell, proudly marking the drum as one of high-quality manufacturing and craftsmanship.

About SJC Drums

With humble beginnings in Mike and Scott Ciprari's (SJC) Grandmother's basement, SJC has since developed into one of the world's leading drum manufacturers and suppliers. In the beginning, the brothers were determined to pioneer the sound of a generation tirelessly seeking to improve themselves and their drum kits until they had reached a state of perfection. As the brother's skills progressed and they got better at building, they thought it a good idea to get some of their friends to play their kits and start to spread the word. Bands such as 'A Wilhelm Scream' and 'Strike Anywhere' were some of the few endorsements from the brothers. SJC's turning point came when the musical sensation 'Panic! At the Disco' played the MTV music awards in 2006. This pivotal moment enabled the brand to branch out and endorse a variety of bigger and more diverse bands like 'Hawthorne Heights', 'Aiden' and 'Cobra Starship'. Expanding their already impressive artist roster, SJC began to reach unprecedented heights and managed to move out of their grandmother's basement and into a warehouse, enabling SJC to introduce a small number of new dedicated staff.

Embracing the game of innovation, SJC has consistently created drums that produce high-quality tone and a distinct character, often to the exact specification of high-profile artists. In the last two years, SJC has signed drummers Branden Steineckert (Rancid), Cyrus Bolooki (New Found Glory), Zach Lind (Jimmy Eat World) and Tre Cool (Green Day). With all these world-renowned artists previously being endorsed by huge international companies, it speaks volumes of SJC for their desire to switch to a custom company.

Always on the cutting edge of innovation, SJC has always focused on making the drummer the focal point of any performance.

With a virtually endless list of custom options, SJC prioritises the drummer's specific requirements whilst never compromising their classic and unique sound. With an ever-expanding list of big names upon their roster, SJC has been a consistent choice for many renowned drummers the world over, emphasising their commitment to quality and sound.
