The Pit Recording Studio Signature Snare
For years, producer and engineer, Taylor Young, relied on a rare dual-strainer snare (originally shown to him by now-SJC player Dave Witte) to shape some of heavy music's most crushing recordings. Rather than recreate it, SJC's engineering team started from scratch.
The answer became a custom distressed 5x14 nickel-over-brass shell fitted with two independently adjustable Trick throw-offs and custom-machined snare-side hoops designed specifically for a dual-wire configuration. The original dual strainer snares this is based on were notorious for their lugs breaking under tension with no parts available, which is why we opted for Trick throws and classic double ended tubes!
The brass shell delivers explosive attack and warmth. With the distressed finish, no two shells are the same, giving every drum its own personality.
The dual snare system allows players to fine-tune sensitivity, articulation and response in ways a traditional snare simply can't.
