Description
From the first rimshot to the final backbeat, the Franklin Drum Company 91' Chrome Over Steel Snare Drum delivers the sharp attack, powerful projection and unmistakable presence that drummers demand from a great metal snare. Built around a 1mm chrome-over-steel beaded shell, this 14x6.5" Guitar Center Exclusive snare combines crisp articulation with a full-bodied punch that easily cuts through the mix.

Chrome-Over-Steel Shell Construction
The 1mm beaded steel shell provides the bright attack, sensitivity and projection that have made steel snares a staple across countless musical genres. A flanged bearing edge with an integrated snare bed promotes consistent head seating and snare-wire response, helping the drum maintain clarity and articulation across a wide tuning range. Whether tuned low for a thick, authoritative crack or cranked high for maximum cut and definition, the 91' responds with impressive consistency and musicality.

Designed for dependable performance and handcrafted in Minnesota, the Guitar Center Exclusive 91' snare features eight centered beavertail lugs, durable 2.3mm triple-flange hoops and an Inde throw-off system for smooth, reliable operation. A set of 25-strand German metal snare wires provides crisp sensitivity and enhanced response, while premium Remo drumheads—including an Ambassador vintage coated batter head and Ambassador snare side hazy resonant head—deliver a balanced combination of warmth, attack and control right out of the box. Blending classic vibes with modern reliability, the Franklin Drum Company 91' Chrome Over Steel Snare Drum offers a versatile voice suited to virtually any playing style.
