Click for Larger Image The Markley Black Brass Series Snare drums have a very special place in the history of our company. In fact, the very first drum we developed was our award-winning 5x14" Black Brass snare drum. It is no accident that our very first drum won the 2002 Snare Drum Olympics - or that we chose brass to be the centerpiece of our metal snare drum line.

With its perfect blend of brilliant, brassy highs, a full midrange, and rich overtones, brass is a highly musical metal. A favorite in the studio and on stages everywhere, the Markley Black Brass Series snare drums are the perfect choice as an all-purpose, "workhorse" snare. If you only buy one Markley Custom snare drum, get the Black Brass - you won't be disappointed!
