As one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces, Rosewood naturally has an opulent, eye-catching appeal. Dixon’s 100% Rosewood snare offers the best of both worlds – striking looks and rich, clear tone. The Rosewood shell exterior is lacquered and hand-buffed several times to produce a mirror-deep, reflective gloss finish. This 2009 Not So Modern Drummer Snare Olympics award recipient produces rich tones in the low to mid frequencies while still delivering clear, punchy articulation.
