Dixon Cornerstone 6.5" x 14" Snare Drum - Quetzal Blue Satin

Dixon Cornerstone Snare Drum - Quetzal Blue Satin Step into the spotlight with a snare drum built to be noticed. Designed for modern drummers who demand exceptional clarity and projection whether they are playing on a packed live stage, laying down tracks in a studio session, or tracking content for social media, this drum brings premium performance within reach. Dixon has built a stellar reputation among elite professional timekeepers like Gregg Bissonette and dynamic contemporary players, and this model packs that same touring-class energy into an accessible masterpiece. The real secret to this drum’s incredible sound is its unique 7-ply hybrid wood construction. Dixon brings together a carefully chosen blend of premium North American Maple, an ultra-responsive Red Silkwood core, and smooth Poplar plies. The maple introduces punchy highs and crisp projection, the silkwood injects a rich, body-filled warm midrange that makes backbeats explode, and the poplar levels out the frequencies for an exceptionally balanced decay. Crafted with precise 45-degree bearing edges, this shell maximizes contact with the factory-equipped Evans heads, allowing the drum to sing at its full acoustic potential. The hardware package is equally impressive, featuring sleek low-mass chrome lugs that reduce shell restriction to maximize resonance, coupled with reliable 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops for devastating rimshots and deep side-stick clicks. Rounded out with a gorgeous, smooth satin lacquer finish, it sounds every bit as beautiful as it looks. Please feel free to reach out to our knowledgeable sales staff with any additional questions!
