Andante Next Generation 14″ Reactor Snare Drum with Silver Hardware
The Andante 14" Next Generation Reactor Snare Drum (Silver Hardware) is a top-tier choice for pipe band percussionists seeking exceptional tone, durability, and ease of maintenance. Designed and manufactured in Northern Ireland, this next-gen model features key upgrades such as a re-engineered bottom snare system, tension ring, snare guards, and suspension ring—while maintaining visual consistency with earlier Reactor models.
Known for its signature “cracking pitch”, the Reactor delivers both sharp attack and responsive sensitivity. The 6-ply Birch shell is finished in a sleek, durable lacquer that showcases the natural woodgrain, complemented by silver powder-coated hardware for a clean, modern look on the field.
Ideal for both solo and band settings, the Andante Reactor stands out for its sleek profile, reliable mechanics, and signature sound that’s unmistakably Andante.
