Zildjian 400th Anniversary Limited Edition Alloy Snare Drum (with Case)

Zildjian invites you to experience the passion and craftsmanship that has gone into the creation of this snare drum and are confident that it will inspire you in your musical journey.

Watch this in-depth look at the Zildjian 400th Anniversary Limited Edition snare drum from Zildjian:

This snare drum features an innovative shell casting process, using 100% pure Zildjian alloy direct from Zildjian's cymbal foundry. Developed in collaboration with Latos Drums, the sound qualities of B20 bronze inspired Zildjian to re-imagine a cast bronze snare from the ground up. While the Zildjian 400th Anniversary Alloy Snare Drum maintains the extreme volume ceiling, projection, and sonic power that cast bronze drums are known for, this drum was designed to be an expressive, deeply versatile instrument, and is equally at home behind an orchestra, in front of walls of amplifiers, in a jazz quartet, or as a platform for creative modern muffling and recording techniques.

Smooth, simple, and reliable, the minimalist throw-off has a drummer-friendly, modernized vertical-pull design, with tension adjusted on the player side and plenty of drop distance. The butt plate features a simple, yet ingenious, integrated drum key holder, keeping the accompanying drum key conveniently at hand.
