A new signature snare from jazz legend, Peter Erskine. This 10"x4.5" Jazz 10 model shares the same unique shell concept as Peter's 14"x4.5" Jazz version. The hybrid spruce/maple shell delivers rich mids and articulate highs, while Peter's own original idea—a Sound Focus Ring on the batter side only—creates crisp attack and a clearly defined, open tone. The compact 10" diameter enhances articulation without sacrificing tonal depth. The Star-Cast Mounting System allows the shell to resonate freely and offers exceptional setup flexibility. Its small size makes positioning easy in a variety of configurations. Responsive and expressive, the Jazz 10 reflects Peter Erskine's musical voice and inspires new sonic possibilities in your playing.
