Employing its hybrid shell construction from the highly acclaimed PHX series, the Live Custom Hybrid Oak 7-ply shells are constructed with a phenolic ply between the oak plies, giving players more shell life, sustain, and dynamic range. To cut unnecessary frequencies and boost low tones. The Live Custom Hybrid snare drums include high carbon steel 25-strand snare wires in the 14" x 5.5" edition. The hybrid shells, designed for this snare, allow for maximum protection and sensitivity, giving that classic cutting tone that comes with oak wood. The series features one of five new unique uzukuri finishes: Earth Sunburst, and comes with Remo USA Heads. The traditional Japanese "uzukuri" finishing process creates a beautifully textured surface by carving only the softer grain of the wood with a brushing technique.

 

With the naturally massive sound of oak and a phenolic center ply, the hybrid shell construction creates a crisp articulation with powerful rimshot and dark tone. Strength, depth, and power combined, ready to take on the main stage.
