Pre-Owned Olympic by Premier 14" x 9" Double-Snare Marching Snare Drum – Chrome Steel (SKU: SH-OLY-149-DS)

UK-made Olympic by Premier marching snare with top and bottom snares. The internal top-snare mechanism provides tight, dry articulation under the batter head, while a separate external parallel throw controls the bottom snare for crisp response. The 14" x 9" chrome-over-steel shell delivers bright projection and punch—ideal for parade work, ensemble use, or as a characterful high-tension studio snare.
Pre-owned: fully functional with age-related cosmetic wear (light pitting/marks; used heads).
