What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Built from select plies of North American maple





Maple is king of the stage and studio. However, as discriminating drummers know, not all maple is created equal. That's why your SJC Tour snare drum is built from seven select plies of North American maple. These woods, in concert with SJC's decades of custom drum fabrication expertise, deliver the powerful projection and crisp, even tone that today's drummers demand.





Hand-cut 45-degree bearing edges





Every SJC bearing edge is hand cut and shaped to perfection. This level of precision allows the heads and shell to resonate to their full potential. It also promotes long-lasting, even tuning.





Tuned up with Evans USA heads





You can play out the day that your Tour Series snare drum arrives at your door. That convenience is due to a set of hand-selected Evans drumheads that is pre-tuned by SJC before your snare leaves their facility. Looking for a tour-grade maple snare that's big on sound and style? Sweetwater drummers recommend the SJC Tour Series 14-inch snare drum.
