The Premier Genista Maple 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum is a great upgrade choice for any advanced drummer, or as an addition to any Premier Genista shell pack.

The original Genista snare drums are renowned in the drumming world for their exceptional performance, sonic quality, and timeless look. Further expanding on this legacy, the all-new Genista Maple offers great versatility for drummers who seek the richer, warmer tone more associated with maple shells whilst retaining the distinctive look of the original design thanks to its timeless double-ended tension lug construction.
The perfect shell
Genista’s thicker, unsupported premium 5.6mm, 7-ply all-maple shells offer a balanced, articulate tone with exceptional warmth and incredible low-end punch. All Genista shells are precision cut and feature a 45-degree bearing edge for optimum sound performance. The 2.3mm triple-flange hoops are also excellent for minimising undesirable overtones.
Finishes that pay homage to the predecessor
Every Genista Maple finish pays tribute to its predecessors with a choice of stain and sparkle high-gloss lacquer finishes. Synonymous with quality, at the heart of each shell is the famous "P" badge. Each Genista shell is also protected with an anti-moisture internal lacquer to preserve and prolong its life in humid environments.
