The Noble & Cooley Alloy Classic snare drum with chrome hardware carries the weight of a name thats been shaping drums since 1854. Its cast aluminum shell is poured, not rolled, leaving a porous surface that gives the tone more density and complexity than standard metal snares. A raw clear coat shows the natural character of the shell, while a 45-degree bearing edge keeps each stroke crisp and articulate. Triple-flange hoops lock in rimshots with clarity, and chrome-over-brass hardware adds both shine and strength. Offered in 4-3/4″ and 6″ depths, it lets drummers choose between tighter projection or deeper bodyalways true to the craftsmanship that makes Noble & Cooley one of Americas most enduring builders.
This Alloy Classic opens up in different ways depending on how you tune it. Crank it high and you get the sharp crack metal snares are known for; let it breathe lower and warmth comes forward, closer to the depth of wood. Triple-flange hoops keep the voice clean and controlled, letting rimshots pop without stray overtones. Handcrafted in New England by a family company still operating in the same town where it began, it reflects more than 160 years of innovation and tradition. It isnt just another snareits part of a legacy thats shaped generations of drummers.
