The Red Padauk Custom Snare Drum

$850.00

This 6.75x14” custom handcrafted snare drum is built from 2/5ths inch thick Padauk wood. padauk is a hard, exotic wood that comes from Africa. This shell has roundover/30 degree bearing edges, and I topped it off with a crystal clear, glossy, glassy, pricey, pretty, durable polyester clear coat. I used black powdercoated lugs custom built for Seven Six Drums by Champagne Drums in Canada. This custom snare drum has black nickel triple-flanged hoops, black nickel tension rods, brass Puresound 24 strand snare wires, a black nickel INde throw off and butt plate, and Evans and Remo heads. This custom snare drum has a huge tuning range and can go from tight cannon to sensitive orchestral snare to fat deep snare, be to its thin shell and vintage bearing edges.

this one is sold, but I can create something very similar to it or you can customize it to your exact specifications.
