Description

Few snares tell a story like this one. The SJC Drums 25th Anniversary USA Custom maple snare drum celebrates 25 years of fearless custom craftsmanship, with each ply representing a year of innovation, growth and community. Built from 25 individual layers of hand-selected maple, this shell is more than construction—it’s a timeline of SJC’s journey from a small Massachusetts basement to a name respected on stages worldwide. Handcrafted in Southbridge, it captures the perfect balance between strength and sensitivity, producing a commanding tone that’s as dynamic as its story. The glass glitter finish catches light like a stage spotlight, while offset tube lugs and chrome hardware add durability and definition. Each drum is hand-signed, numbered and adorned with XXV anniversary badging, honoring 25 years of creativity, character and craft.

25-Ply Maple Shell for Explosive Attack and Clarity

The 25-ply maple shell delivers a commanding voice with fast, explosive attack and pinpoint clarity. Built one ply for every year of SJC innovation, it’s dense, balanced and designed to cut through any mix. Maple’s natural brightness adds crisp definition to rimshots, while ghost notes stay clean and articulate under dynamic playing. SJC’s 45-degree bearing edges and die-cast hoops provide tuning stability and control, giving drummers the freedom to push volume and precision in equal measure.

Signature Hardware and Finish Honor SJC Heritage

Chrome offset 1.5" tube lugs and a black Trick GS007 throw-off deliver pro-level response and rock-solid stability, while the ResoCoat inner-shell sealant enhances resonance and longevity. The glass glitter finish—available in Turquoise Glitter, Tangerine Glitter, Silver Glitter and Lime Glitter—pairs with the XXV anniversary badge and brass tension rods for a look that feels equal parts custom and collectible. Handcrafted in SJC’s Southbridge workshop, each 25th anniversary USA Custom snare reflects the brand’s belief that drums should look as powerful as they sound—built by drummers, for drummers, and made to last a lifetime.
