Nickel Drumworks Butt End Black Chrome

This Nickel Drumworks butt end / counter holder is a replacement snare drum butt plate, finished in black Chrome / black finish.

It is the fixed side of the snare wire system, sitting opposite the throw-off mechanism and holding the other end of the snare wires in place. It is a useful part for snare drum repairs, custom builds, restorations or replacing a worn, damaged or mismatched butt plate.

With two mounting hole options, it is designed to suit a wider range of snare drum setups where the hole spacing matches.

What Is It Actually For?

A snare butt end holds one end of the snare wires on the underside of a snare drum.

The throw-off controls the on/off tension, while the butt plate provides the fixed anchor point at the opposite side of the shell. If the butt end is damaged, missing or not holding the snare wires properly, the drum may not respond correctly or may be difficult to set up.

Replacing the butt end can help restore the snare wire system and keep the drum working as it should.

Compatibility Note

This is a replacement snare drum butt end / counter holder.

Please check your drum shell and existing mounting hole spacing before ordering. This part is listed with 25mm and 44mm hole spacing options, but snare drums are not always universal and some drums may need a different part or modification.

If you are replacing an existing butt plate, compare the old part carefully before fitting.

Who Is It For?

This part is suitable for drummers, drum repairers, schools, rehearsal rooms, percussion departments and custom drum builders.

It is especially useful if you are repairing a snare drum, matching darker hardware, building a custom snare, or replacing a worn or missing butt end.
