Used UMI ACOUSTICON SNARE Snare Drum 14"

Focused crack and vintage character meet in this UMI Acousticon snare, built around the distinctive Acousticon shell construction that helped define an era of innovative drum design. Acousticon shells are made from a wood fiber material formed under pressure, giving them a unique tonal profile that blends warmth with a slightly controlled, dry attack. It’s a snare that stands out both in sound and construction.

Drummers have long appreciated Acousticon shells for their ability to deliver consistent tone and impressive projection without excessive overtones. The response is quick and articulate, making ghost notes feel tight and backbeats pop with authority. It fits comfortably in rock, pop, and rehearsal settings where a focused, punchy snare is essential. This one also includes a case, which makes transport and storage that much easier.
