Snares | fordsite2014

Snares that make drummers drool.

Straight 10 or 10-ply with 10-ply reinforcement rings, 20 ply or more. Organic, 3/8ths-inch to 1/2-inch thick in over 40 wood choices. Solid metals, 10-gauge in carbon steel, aluminum, titanium, brass, copper, phosphor bronze and more. Carbon fiber. And the remarkable Corian® StoneAge Collection snares. Is it any wonder why the press drenches us with lavish language like, “Consider that these snare drums perform so highly in so many ways, instead of owning three or four snare drums, a Ford will cover it all.”

We don’t make snare drums. We pierce ears. Enough said. Play a part in our nation’s recovery. Play a Ford. Made with pride here in the U.S.A.
