Walnut Snare Drums

Walnut snare drums have a sound profile all of their own. Think rich, warm tones with a deep, punchy attack that cuts right through the mix. Throw in a naturally darker sound than maple or birch, and you’ve got a great choice of snare for drummers who want both depth and clarity in their snare sound. Whether you're playing rock, jazz, or anything in between, a walnut snare will deliver a truly distinct character that stands out from the crowd.
Beyond their sonic qualities, few tonewoods are as visually striking as a good piece of walnut. These snares are often beautifully finished, showcasing the stunning natural grain of the wood. Pair their elegant aesthetics with their powerful sound, and it’s easy to see why walnut snares are a favourite among drummers looking for something a little bit special.
