UltraCast has turned into a modern gothic novel, An experiment gone awry. A monster in the truest sense. We set out to make a precision milled cast Aluminum shell that would project energy and be heard over the chaos of a live band. If you are like most drummers, your ideal snare sound lives somewhere between wood and metal shell drums. You switch between the two, because they both sound great. You like the bright cutting projection and pronounced hi-end crack of a metal shell, but sometimes you just can’t live without the warmth, body and bottom that only comes from a wood shell drum. If this is starting to sound familiar, one listen to our all UltraCast Snare Drum will seem like a dream come true. UltraCast offers everything you want in a snare sound, all of the time. Since 2005 all UltraCast Snare Drums are equipped with the new GlideLock Strainer and with the Ultrasound Snare wires!
