Lazer PC11-57D-3S 20 Lugs Marching Snare Drum 14" X 16"
The Lazer PC11-57D-3S is a high-impact 14-inch by 16-inch marching snare drum designed for power, projection, and stage presence. With 20 tension lugs spaced evenly around its deep shell, this drum delivers tight, even head tension, allowing for articulate, bold attacks and robust rim shots. Built with marching performance in mind, it likely features a heavy-duty throw-off/strainer, reinforced hoops, and hardware designed to stand up under marching conditions. Its large 16-inch depth gives extra resonance and low partials compared to shallower snares, making it ideal for drumlines seeking that full, commanding snare voice without sacrificing clarity.
20 tension lugs — provides very even tension and tuning around the shell for a consistent head feel and better control of pitch and response.
Deep shell (16″ depth) — gives more low‑end body / resonance compared to shallower snares; greater volume and fuller sound.
14″ diameter — a standard for marching snares, balancing articulation / attack with enough surface area for projection.
Heavy duty hardware — likely rugged lugs, rims/hoops, and strainers built to withstand field‑use vibration and impact.
Throw‑off / strainer system — a mechanism to engage/disengage the snare wires, and adjust tension. Possibly with side lever or other control for quick adjustment.
Snare wires or cable set — standard snares underneath for the snare‑side response; likely robust given marching demand.
Reinforced hoops — to handle high tension and maintain shape under stress.
Bearing edges that are cut to balance attack and sustain (higher projection plus enough clarity).
Fine adjustments — tension rods allowing precise tuning; possibly extra venting or air holes (though depth already helps resonance).
Durable shell material — could be wood (ply), composite or metal, depending on version; built for durability, possibly with protective finish.
Finish / plating — for weather resistance, wear resistance (could be chrome, powder coat, lacquer etc.).
