Dragon Snare finishing process, a time lapse view

Here’s something cool we cooked up this week while finishing up a run of Dragon Snares. This is a 14″x7″ Sounds Like Art snare with a custom mixed red mahogany base, natural maple flames, and a Scorched top coat. After the scorched top coat is applied, it is carefully rubbed by hand to get just the right effect. Check it out:

Happy Holidays!

We hope everyone out there is having a great Holiday season so far.  This long weekend while most of us are enjoying a little time off work, here’s some new videos and photos for you to check out.  This week we dug through some archives and added almost 200 old photos to our Facebook account.  Drums from the early years, you can check them out here.  Lots of cocktail kits and different configurations from roughly 2000-2005.  We’ve also added two new videos to our Youtube account today, 360 degree tours of a Sounds Like Art dragon snare in various stages of finishing, check it out:

We’re excited for the new year and all it holds, keep checking back and enjoy the holidays!
