The Silver Graphite Cast Aluminum Snare

$2,175.00

This 5.5x14” custom handcrafted snare drum is built from 3mm cast aluminum. Most lower cost aluminum drums are rolled and connected with a seam, or are spun metal. This one is neither…It’s a cast done in a foundry, giving it a pure bell-like tone. It has a custom Silver Graphite powdercoat finish which is incredibly durable (much more durable than bare metal). It’s an insanely versatile drum that can sound fat or crisp and incredibly dry, depending on tuning and head choice.

  • Chrome diecast hoops

  • chrome single point lugs custom built for this drum in Canada, and chrome tension rods

  • brass Puresound 24 strand snare wires

  • a Chrome Trick throw off and butt plate

  • Evans heads

    this drum was a custom built snare for a client, but I can build you one just like it or customize it to your liking. Turnaround is around 6-8 weeks, depending on finish
