That OCDP Sound ...
The OCDP Maple snare features an outer ply of ash with natural to black burst finish. The inside of the snare is hand-sanded and then sealed to a satin finish. The edges are also hand-sanded and produce a true sound. The lugs are made from an aluminum/zinc alloy that is far stronger than the zinc #3 that virtually all other drum lugs are made of. The die-cast hoops and thick shell with multiple vents provide plenty of attack. Sounds as good as it looks.
