The Store / Exotic Wood Custom Snare Drums
The Jatoba and Purpleheart III
$1,445.00
This 7x13 Purpleheart and Jatoba stave snare’s shell is about 3/5” thick and actually comprised of 3 shells, two Purple heart sections and a large Jatoba section in the middle. This design was the brainchild of my client, Matthew, who purchased several snare drums as well as the six piece purple heart full drum kit you see on my store page. I topped it off with 9 coats of crystal clear, glossy, glassy, pricey, pretty, durable polyester clear coat.
This custom snare drum has:
chrome die-cast hoops and tension rods
chrome low mass lugs
Puresound Custom Pro 20-strand snare wires
a DW chrome throw off and FIVE POSITION butt plate
Remo heads.
As usual with a stave drum this size, it has a fantastic crack and looks sexy, too.
*****The drum in these photos is sold, but I can create another just like it or customize it to your liking.
