Collection from Deal, Kent. Not Coventry. The Remo Mastertouch Snare Drum is a high-quality musical instrument made in the United States. This 14-inch drum features the unique ‘Quadura’ wrap and Acousticon shell. (Metal wrap over wood composite shell) This is a wood drum, but extremely dense wood composite that sits in-between wood and metal sonically. This produces an extremely powerful tone that you can feel in your chest when you hit the drum. A sound engineer once described this drum as “dangerously loud” ???? It’s a shame Remo don’t make these anymore, they are really unique drums that sound brilliant and are an interesting part of drum history. (They really shine in the studio!!!)
