I've been recording with this drum, it kicks ass on all styles of music. After two minutes of playing a 101 snare drum, I knew I had to have my own.

What an incredible snaredrum this is! Lots of depth and punch, great dynamics and the crack of a metall shell. I've played it every day since I got it in many different situations.

This has to be one of the best snaredrums i've ever played!!! It's solid with a superb warm sound AND it stays in tune no matter how hard i hit it.

A couple of years back I got to try the 101 Black Diamond for a live show and it just instantly blew my mind off.

Having played the same snare drum for the last 15 years it would take something pretty special for me to want to change,however the 101 Black Diamond snare drum did just that!

If there's one thing I need on tour or in the studio, it's a dependable snare. 101 Drums offers that and so much more. My 14x6.5 Black Diamond has great attack that is focused and precise.

The first time I tried the 101 Black Diamond snare drum I was in all! The wood-fiber shell mixed with the die cast hoops create a tight crisp sound with such great response! Goodness I was in love right away!!

An amazing snare. For all styles of music. Has the perfect snap that I need for playing the Operation Mindcrime album and a great tone. Beautiful Finnish. An all round great piece of craftsmanship by 101 Drums. Highly recommended

Having tried basically every snare available on the market, i just gotta say, the 101 Drum beats them all! The depth and tone is way ahead of the competition and it always stays in tune!

Not only does my signature Black Diamond snare drum have an overall killer sound to it with great response and dynamics, but it also really packs one hell of a punch”

A snare drum from 101Drums gives you the combination of the warmness of a wood snare and the attack of a metal snare.

The feeling you get when the sound engineer smiles when you do the sound check of you snare. I love my 101 snare.

Roger Landin
Band: Hellsmoke
I used one of the 101-snares in the studio and the thing beside the awesome sound was, how little time I had to spend on retuning it. All in all, a freaking beast of a snare with great hardware!

I’ve never experienced a snare with the combined warmth from a wood drum, with the attack and sensitivity from a metal snare drum. This is why I choose 101Drums

Swedish engineering at its best. My first encounter with a 101 snare drum was at a gig with Metalite at Malmöfestivalen 2019 and I absolutely loved it.

I have NEVER EVER heard anything like this one, a 14x6,5 snaredrum by 101Drums. First time I tried it was during our Sweden Rock Festival gig 2017, and I was totally blown away.
