The Joyful Noise 14x6.5 Core Bronze Reserve Snare Drum (CR-6514-CORE-BRONZE) Core "Reserve" - Over the last 25 years JNDC has produced thousands of drums and only 7 TKO brass shells were designate as "Reserve" and only 3 bronze shells have been designated as “Reserve”. This is the only one available to the public, as Todd Sucherman owns the first, which is a Winged Elite and Curt Waltrip owns the second "Reserve".
This shell was hand select as a “Reserve” 25 years ago and bright polished and “Age Hardened”, which is also called precipitation hardening, which increases the strength, hardness, density, and wear resistance of specific bronze alloys by forming microscopic particles that block internal crystal movement. This results in an increased vibrance and color, similar to “Age Hardened” Cymbals.
The JNDC Core collection is the essence of the JNDC Modern Classic Series metal snare drums.
The design is intended to provide a raw shell that would patina over time like a fine Turkish cymbal, while affording our customers the most economical opportunity to own and play our products. Sonically, these snare drums deliver the same exceptional range of color, sensitivity, extended tuning range, explosive power, and unmistakable sound characterizing the JNDC Modern Classic Series.
The Core model design and hardware consist of 2.5mm solid brass bright nickel-plated triple flanged hoops, ten solid brass bright nickel-plated Corder tube lugs, bell-flanged bearing edges, vintage-inspired crimped snare beds, 24k gold-plated brass JNDC feather motif drum badge, and the bright nickel-plated proprietary cast bronze JNDC “One Touch Classic” snare drum strainer (throw-off) system.
A certificate of authenticity, serialized lapel badge, and a JNDC Strainer Tutorial, and a complimentary embroidered soft shell case accompany each instrument.
