Brass Tone, Refined
Bringing power, articulation and depth together in a single instrument, 'The Sovereign' is our interpretation of the classic brass snare. Its satin lacquer finish gives the shell an understated, refined appearance, while its versatile character allows it to perform confidently across a wide range of playing styles.
At lower dynamics, it remains lively, sensitive and responsive, allowing subtle details to speak with clarity. When pushed harder, it develops a controlled bite and confident presence that carries naturally in both studio and live settings. The brass shell delivers the familiar crack and definition expected from the material, balanced by enough warmth and body to keep the sound full and musical. From restrained playing to more powerful performances, 'The Sovereign' responds with consistency, character and authority.
Two Sizes, Two Voices
Available in two shell depths:
• 14”x5.5” – crisp and focused
• 14”x6.5” – A fuller, rounder tone with added depth
