The Store / Unique Domestic Wood Custom Snare Drums

Handmade snare drum with a glossy blue, red, and natural striped wood shell, chrome hoops, and hexagonal center lugs.

The Flame Birch Orange and Aqua II

$925.00

This is a 6x14 Flame BIrch stave snare drum with continuous grain matching. It has a slightly thinner shell than many of my drums at .45” thick, and it has roundover to 30 degree bearing edges to maximize the contact between the head and shell, thereby increasing the influence of the shell on the overall sound. It’s finished in aqua blue and orange stripes and 8 coats of incredibly durable high gloss polyester clear coat. I did a slight fade from the aqua into the orange middle ring to ease the transition.

  • It has brushed aluminum single point low mass lugs and chrome tension rods custom hand-built in Canada

  • chrome die cast hoops

  • chrome Trick throw off

  • Puresound Custom Pro brass 20 strand snare wires

  • Remo heads.

The shell combined with the rounded bearing edges give this drum a fantastic tuning range and it looks pretty sleek, too.

****this drum is sold, but I can build another just like it or customize it to your liking.
