The SJC Drums Custom 14x6.5 Snare Drum, Plaid Chrome HW has been manufactured with a Maple shell to give the snare a warm tone and enhanced lower frequencies. The distribution of middle and high frequencies are evenly dispensed, leading to an overall powerful and commanding tone.
Although often used for toms, this snare utilises 2.3mm triple-flanged steel hoops that encourage open and long sustain, further helping the drum to project and resonate. In addition to this, the standard SJC snare wires provide a great mix of shell tone and snare wire snap, further assisting the definition of the snares dynamic sound. The double ended tube lugs used are durable and offer great stability and adjustability, allowing the player to play to his or her exact preference. A Trick GS007 throw-off featured on the snare uses smooth lever action that makes practicality and easy operation the number one priority.
The distinctive SJC badge located on the shell proudly mark the snare as a product of high-quality manufacturing and craftsmanship, producing a great feel and outstanding tone. The Snares unique appearance and plaid design can be attributed to the innovative nature of SJC's extensive custom manufacture. SJC take immense pride in creating and articulating each player's individual style, making sure that each player has the ability to create their own unique musical footprint.
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 figured 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 have 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.
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.
"I've played on literally every brand of US drums out there, and I've finally found my home. I've been looking for drums like these my whole life. True American hot rod custom kits. From the look and sound to the service and attention, it's good to now be part of the SJC family." Tré Cool - Green Day
"I have no clue how I just barely started playing these drums, they sound incredible! Not sure what rock I was living under. I can't express how proud I am to now be part of SJC and get to play these amazing drums every night." Dave Joyal
"Me being real and honest: I am so proud to play SJC Drums. They have treated me so well since I started playing them 5 years ago. Thank you!" Rian Dawson- All Time Low
