The Store / Exotic Wood Custom Snare Drums

Handcrafted snare drum with a high-gloss striped wood shell and polished chrome hoops, lugs, and throw-off.

The Bolivian Rosewood Piccolo

$995.00

This 4x14 custom handcrafted snare drum is built from 100% Bolivian Rosewood, aka Morado. Morado is a very hard, dense wood that makes a beautiful and sonorous drum

This custom snare drum has:

  • a 0.60” thick shell with 45 degree offset bearing edges, topped off with 12 coats of gloss oil.

  • chrome DIE CAST hoops, lugs and tension rods

  • Puresound 24 strand snare wires

  • DFD chrome throw off and butt plate

  • Remo Ambassador Coated top and hazy snare side heads

This is a very versatile custom snare drum that can pop and crackle with the best of them, but can also be tuned down and muted a bit for a fatter sound.

***This drum resides with a client, but I can build one just like it for you or customize it to your liking - turnaround is 6-8 weeks.
