The Store / Exotic Wood Custom Snare Drums
The Red "J"iant Jatoba
$1,100.00
This 8x14 custom handcrafted snare drum is built from 100% Brazilian Cherry (aka Jatoba) wood staves. Jatoba is a super dense hard wood - about twice as hard as maple. This hard, thick exotic wood shell translates to extra volume when you really hit this drum.
As for the finish, I first applied 3 separate coats of black dye and sanded each off to really make the grain pop, then I added bright red dye and topped is off with high gloss, super durable polyester clear coat. This drum has:
offset 45 degree bearing edges.
a 0.60” thick stave shell
dual point low mass black nickel lugs
black nickel triple flanged hoops and tension rods
Puresound Custom Pro brass 24 strand snare wires
DW Mag black nickel throw off and butt plate
Matching air vent grommet
Remo heads.
**This drum was custom built for a customer, but I can build you one just like it or adjust the specs to your liking.
