Ahead Snare 14"x06" with Trick Throw Off
Destined to become the snare that everyone wanted after a few pics made their way back from NAMM back at the beginning of 2006. This is the drum everyone is talking about - and rightly so. Great drums, great construction, great sound. Now with an extended range, you need to check these bad boys out.
Available with either a Dunnett or Trick Strainer
"Famed for their aluminium sticks, Ahead have ventured into a new area. On the Ahead stand were some new metal snares. Now, I must admit to not being tremendously excited by the prospect of another new snare drum, but at the risk of sounding like an advert… "That was before I heard it!" The shells are very thin and are 14" or 13" x 6" in black chrome over brass. They have tube lugs, Fat Cat snares (with the adjustable tension inner wires), S-Hoops (triple flange hoops with a larger top flange angled over the bearing edge, which sound more like cast hoops), Tight Screw tension rods (which have an insert of nylon to guarantee they never detune) and a choice of Dunnett or Trick throw offs. Now, on paper, they should sound good, but I think that Gerry and I decided they were the best snare we had heard so far at NAMM. When the person who was showing us them first hit one, a guy who was passing stopped and came over and asked what the snare was as it sounded 'incredible!' It is stupidly loud (making us blink in a hall with 20m high ceilings) but also REALLY musical. One to check out."
