Noble & Cooley 6×14″ Alloy Classic Aluminum Snare Drum – Robin’s Egg

A pre-owned Noble & Cooley 6×14″ Alloy Classic Aluminum snare. Ten lugs, with all black plating. A very classy-looking instrument with undeniable tone and articulationcrisp and dry with plenty of “crack”. In excellent condition with light fingerprints and dust marks.

“The Alloy Classic is built of cast aluminum, as opposed to rolled sheet metal, or sliced from tubing. This process gives the drum a porous shell, resulting in denser sound. By tuning the heads high, the drum still maintains the “crack” or “pop” of a metal drum, while looser tunings give way to the warmness more commonly associated with a wood shell. The Alloy Classic shell is machined after casting. The bearing edge and shell dimensions are kept to a tight tolerance, while lathing and CNC machining produce a drum of incredible consistency.“
