Description
The dialtune 6.5x14" maple espresso stain snare drum brings innovative technology to drum tuning. Its patented cable system lets you precisely control the top and bottom drum heads independently for any tuning, from tight and crisp to loose with long sustain. The espresso-stained 8-ply North American maple shell resonates with balanced warmth perfect for rock, jazz, orchestral and anything in between. Take your snare tone into your own hands with the dialtune system.
Maple Shell Delivers Balanced Tone for All Genres
This dialtune snare is crafted from 8 plies of hand-selected North American maple that resonate with a balanced, warm character. The wood's natural tone shines through from tight, cracking snare tones to loose, reverberant tones. An offset, double 45-degree bearing edge maximizes shell vibration and dynamic response. Combined with the legendary maple sound, you get a versatile drum that works for jazz, rock, pop, metal and beyond.
Tune Quickly and Precisely With Patented Cable System
What sets the dialtune snare apart is its patented cable tuning system. Simply turn the independent dials on each head to tighten or loosen as needed. Getting the exact tone you want takes just minutes compared to traditional tuning methods. The high-tech synthetic fiber cables hold their tension perfectly once tuned, meaning you can be confident your dialtune snare will sound fantastic gig after gig. Restringing a cable takes only 5-15 minutes and two replacement cables come included.
Precise Engineering Provides Ultimate Playability
In addition to the patented tuning system, the dialtune maple snare is engineered for top performance. The precision snare bed prevents buzzing and allows even response from edge to edge. Die-cast metal lugs keep tension consistent across the drum. The quick-release hoops make head changes fast and easy. Every detail is optimized for playability and tone.

Amazing versatile snare!

This is the most exciting new acoustic drum product I've seen in 20 yrs. I purchased this drum recently and had initially ordered the nickel over brass, but was accidentally sent this maple wooden version. Initially, I was disappointed, but I worked it out with representitivr Renzo at Guitar Center customer service made it right! I decided to keep the wooden one. This is the, best sounding snare drum I think I've ever had. The amazing thing is that it stays perfectly in tune all around the circumference of the drum, both top and bottom heads, which are independent. There are no dead spots and no chance for lugs to come loose when you're hitting rim shots. It's so versatile. It does exactly what it's designed to do again, which is keeping the head perfectly in tune with itself and having independent control over the top and bottom set this drama apart from other automatic tuning systems I've seen. On the snare drum, especially you want that independence. Tuning is quick and easy and you can get any type of sound you want out of the drum. It's also built like a tank. It is very heavy, so be aware and Wider than the average snare drum so it doesn't necessarily fit completely in the snare basket, but there is a proper way to mount it if you watch videos on their website. It has an inner flange, which is very sturdy which sits in the basket just fine. I used it on a recording session a few days after I got it and , it just sounds incredible at the price 599. This thing is a steel in my opinion. Mine wasn't open box item so I did get a discount, but I would've paid full price for it easily. It has a bit of ring but certainly not overbearing and nothing a little bit of moon or possibly a head change wouldn't remedy. Thank you GC for handling the mistake fairly and quickly considering it was a holiday weekend.
