A snare for those who insist on the best!

Years of R&D have gone into perfecting alloy type, shell dimensions, hardware and lug design, bearing edge angles, and snare bed particulars. In short, this is a snare designed to blow your mind! Built of cast aluminum with a black powdercoat, it will do anything you ask it to, from feather strokes with brushes to aggressively slapped backbeats, and do it beautifully. According to Nigel Lord, "A snare for the recording studio if ever there was one."

This is one of the great musical finds of my life. This snare cuts through anything with more warmth and clarity than almost any snare of similar size. It has a wide tuning range, with fair amount of a harmonic and musical ring. Tune medium-low and hear it punch through the chest of all around you. The die cast hoops are a musical blessing!

N&C ACAS Review

I would have to admit that: This is the best piece of equipment I ever bought besides my Sonor Double Bass Drum Giant Step pedal. Great sound projection, Nice pop with warm mellow sustain tone, excellent tuning range. If you looking for the tight nice pop there you have it or nice and loose wet funky sound, No problem there as well. Great versatile snare for different music styles!!!

An outstanding, and unique, voice for your arsenal. I got my used from the Bay for less than half of the retail price. Every gig I've played where there is a drummer in the audience, that guy or girl has approached me about the snare. A local producer even asked me after our set if I was playing an N&C, as he was in another room where he only heard the live feed. If you pay full retail price, do not expect to get a good ROI if you decide to sell. The only people searching out this snare are other pros, and we're always looking for the best deals.

I was lucky enough to find this snare on clearance... I was like, N&C alloy? I'll take it. Ridiculous versatility. Great sensitivity, big big sound, fat pop, and nice crack if tuned tight. Great live and in the studio. Has a perfect sweet spot for loud articulate rim click too, big rims. Keep in mind N&C have been making snares since the 1800s. My prize possesion for sure. A little expensive, so look out for deals. You will not be let down.

I got a deal on this drum with the intent to resell it later. Due to its extreme sensitivity I used it for some Jazz gigs. (GREAT with brushes) Played it later with my metal band and was suprised at how easily it cut through the wall of guitars and keyboards. Then, I recorded with it. It has a pop like no other. Records like a dream. The studio tried to buy it from me, but at this point, they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. If you find a deal on this drum, buy it without hesitation!
