Steve's Notes: I have always been a fan of 4x14 snares. Johnny was as well. Even though most of our Craviotto sales are 6.5x14, followed by 5.5x14, we are seeing a resurgence in popularity for the 4x14 size. This makes a lot of sense when you think about it:

- We’ve had customers looking for this size as the perfect fit for smaller venues. The drum gives them all the performance they could want, and sonically fits in smaller clubs better than a deep 6.5.

- Also, this size is a perfect “second snare” or “side snare” on your main kit. It can function as a “semi-piccolo”.

- Lastly, they’re great in the recording studio as well.

- And of course, with the incredible Craviotto solid shell, this drum can be tuned high up in piccolo range, but can also function down in the range of a 5.5.

This particular drum is a Private Reserve due to the incredible birdseye maple shell.

This snare drum features:

  • 45 degree bearing edges

  • Natural oil finish

  • 10x Craviotto tube lugs

  • Craviotto Trick strainer
