The Store / Exotic Wood Custom Snare Drums
The Black Limba II
$1,450.00
This 7x14” custom handcrafted snare drum is built from 100% Black Limba wood staves. Black Limba is a very hard exotic wood from Africa. It can have super interesting figuring and grain patterns, as well as unique rustic features like wormholes. On this shell, most of the smaller worm holes were filled in but some of the larger worm holes were left open to show off the natural feel of the wood.
This custom snare drum has a semi gloss super durable polyurethane clear coat and:
roudover to 30 degree bearing edges.
a 0.65” thick stave shell
chrome plated brass Modern lugs
chrome die cast hoops and tension rods
German style 20 strand snare wires
DW Chrome Mag throw off and 5-position butt plate
Matching air vent grommet
Aquarian heads.
