This is the second custom snare recently built from this material, and the results are again more than expected. Built for a local drummer who’s been using a maple 14″x6.5″ and was looking for something more aggressive. The shell is 14″x6″ and 1/16″ thick with rounded bearing edges. It’s tricked out with a Dunnett MicRo Throw-off that features a quick release feature for quick head changes without having to take off the snare wires. Ten solid-brass tube lugs and bronze snare wires complete the package for a great sounding snare drum. It also looks pretty smooth with the brushed lacquer finish, check it out:

80% Copper + 20% Zinc + 14″x5″ = One great little snare

This is a one-off custom snare recently wrapped up for Chris Thompson with the Eli Young Band. He’s been touring with a Phattie 14″x6.5″ Black Brass snare for the last year, and was ready for something with a little more bite to it. This drum fit the bill perfectly! The shell is 14″x5″ and 1/16″ thick with rounded bearing edges. It’s tricked out with a Dunnett R2 Throw-off that features a quick release feature for quick head changes without having to take off the snare wires. Ten solid-brass tube lugs and the heavy die-cast hoops give this drum a bite that the deeper and thinner 14″x6.5″ just didn’t have. Along with the great sound it turned out to be quite the head turner, check it out:
