This Holton 5.5x14 Snare Drum, Chrome Over Steel Is An Absolute Steal!
The Holton Musical Instrument Company is one of the oldest American instrument companies in existence. Known mostly for their brass instruments, this is the only percussion instrument that we've seen under the Holton Brand. While it is an entry/intermediate level drum, it is not a toy or poorly made. Here's what sets it apart from other entry level drums.
- Heavy Ribbed Steel Shell
- 2.3mm Hoops as opposed to 1.6mm entry level hoops
- 10 lugs as opposed to the usual 8 for entry level drums
The throw, butt and muffler are generic Taiwanese but they are in good shape and function as they should. Play it as it is and have a great drum while saving money or upgrade to an
INDe Throw and Butt and you'll have a truly pro drum for about $170.
