Made for 14-inch snare drums with 8 lugs, the SC-1408SSD ensures even tension across the head, which improves tuning consistency and helps your drum stay locked in during long sessions. It’s an ideal upgrade for players who want more tonal precision, punchier wire response, and long-lasting durability. Please note: This listing is for the snare-side hoop only.
