“The Carbon of the Future”: French Grip Channel Reviews the BONE TRUE Carbon Fiber Snare

Nicolas from the highly respected French Grip Channel recently got his hands on our 14″x6.5″ TRUE Carbon Fiber snare drum. His in-depth review perfectly captures what we set out to achieve with our solid carbon fiber technology.

Here are the key takeaways from his experience with the TRUE Carbon:

• Featherlight but Powerful: The first thing Nicolas noticed was the extreme lightness of our 2.5mm solid carbon fiber shell. As he joked, it’s so light he almost thought the shipping box was empty! But don’t let the weight fool you—the projection and attack are massive.
• A Unique Sonic Signature: Sonically, Nicolas described the snare as incredibly articulate and precise. He highlighted a unique playing experience: a surprisingly “soft” and comfortable feel under the stick (reminiscent of legendary vintage aluminum snares like the LM402), immediately followed by a hard, dry attack that opens up beautifully to the room.
• Engineering Perfection: He heavily praised Nejc’s flawless shell construction. Because our solid carbon shells and 45-degree bearing edges are engineered to absolute micrometric perfection, tuning the drum is effortless.
• High-End Details: The review also highlights the premium components, including the smooth Trick throw-off, 30-strand snare wires, and custom BONE-branded Remo USA heads.
