Keplinger 6x14" Stainless Steel Snare Drum
The Keplinger 6x14" Stainless Steel Snare Drum delivers the power, sensitivity, and unmistakable industrial character that have made Gregg Keplinger’s handmade drums legendary among professional players and collectors.
Built by hand in Seattle, Washington, this snare features a thick-walled, welded stainless steel shell with exceptional projection and an enormous dynamic range. It produces a strong, immediate attack with a full-bodied fundamental, crisp snare response, and plenty of controlled metallic character. Unlike thinner steel shells that can become harsh or overly bright, the substantial Keplinger shell provides weight, depth, and authority without sacrificing sensitivity.
The versatile 6x14" size balances body and articulation, making this drum equally comfortable at low, medium, and high tunings. It responds clearly to soft ghost notes and detailed brushwork while retaining the headroom and projection needed for hard rimshots, loud live performances, and demanding studio sessions.
