Up-close & Personal: Dixon Artisan Beech Piccolo Snare 13" x 3.5"


Just like Dixon Artisan series drum sets, Dixon Artisan snares are using many selected woods to perform the best sound choices. In addition to woods, it's passionate drum designers also experiment hundreds of metals and different combinations of metals and configurations to build a wide range of sounds that drummers are looking after.

Furthermore, Dixon also created “Hybrid” snares that have metal insertion to balance low-end and high-end frequencies. 


Here we put up an up-close look at Dixon Artisan Beech Piccolo Snare, with a precisely crafted 13" x 3.5" sized

Dixon Artisan Piccolo Snare with Beech Wood (Burgundy Misty) 

It uses EVANS G1 Coated as batter drumhead 

Dixon does a great job in testing their snares and record their sounds daily to find the preferred tones. The team of dedicated studio staff work hard to analyze the snare sounds. Each Artisan snare needs to be played by a number of drummers and modified by their feedbacks before official introduction.

Looks great. Sounds great.
