The Store / Exotic Wood Custom Snare Drums
El Rey
$1,025.00
*SOLD but I can create a very similar drum or a custom drum to match your vision.
El Rey, translated from Spanish, means “The King”, and I can’t think of a more fitting name for a drum outfitted in purple and gold. This is a 2/3” thick 5.75x14” 100% Purpleheart 20-stave shell with with offset 45 degree bearing edges, custom-mode Champagne Drum Company clear coated brass lugs and brass tension rods, Ludwig brass die-cast hoops, an Inde Drum Company gold throw off, Puresound Custom Pro brass 24 strand snare wires, a Remo Coated Controlled Sound reverse white dot batter head and Evans 300 snare side head. This drum MUST be heard! Its CRACK is so gorgeous and unique. It has a Pure Tung Oil interior finish and a semi-gloss poly clear coat exterior.
It’s super sensitive and can be played in low volume situations, but due to the higher fundamental tone of the super thick hardwood shell, this thing cuts through and shows its power…just like a KING! Seven Six Drum Company’s serial #005.
