The shells 7'' depth offers fantastic weight and body, allowing it to cut through and anchor the densest of arrangements across a broad range of musical styles.
Sporting a bold Cherry Fade lacquer finish, this visually striking snare is built from the finest components, including 20 iconic Genista style lugs as well as the 0640 strainer, allowing you to make instant tonal adjustments on-the-fly mid performance. Incredibly versatile, the 2.3mm triple-flange steel hoops offer great levels of resonance, producing powerful rimshot hits when desired. The Genista 14'' x 7'' Birch Snare comes fitted with Remo UT coated drumheads.

The Premier Genista 14" x 7" Birch Snare Drum is equally comfortable on-the-stage as it is in the rehearsal room and the recording studio. Birch shells are easy to identify due to their bright, articulate sound. Packed full of “weight” and “punch”, they are significantly “fatter” and offer superior projection compared to maple shells.
Although bright, birch shells ensure a smooth well-balanced tone, providing adequate low-end. The sound of the snare is enhanced by the inclusion of Genista style lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops. These features work in unison to increase the shell’s sustain, making them an ideal choice for both live performances and studio recording, particularly for Pop, Rock and heavier music styles.
