Sounds Like Art 14″x7″ Dragon with black hardware…

by Dennis
June 14th, 2010

Today’s drum is a 14″x7″ Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare that recently made it’s way to Australia.  The Sounds Like Art snares feature stave-construction shells out of various woods, and detailed 3D carvings that set them apart from anything else.  This snare features a maple shell nearly 1″ thick, for a tight sound with lots of projection and cut.  The 7″ depth makes sure the drum still has a lot of body and a thick sound to it, so it’s not just the cut/attack you hear.  Black chrome hardware, a black Trick strainer, and custom ordered Evans heads round out this package for an awesome look, check it out:

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, some detail shots…

by Dennis
April 22nd, 2010

Several Dragon Snares shipped out this week, all 14″x7″ with Maple shells.  This one has our “Scorched Maple” finish with all chrome hardware.  The shell is just a hair under 1″ thick and is made using stave construction before carving.  The result is an amazing piece of art that has an perfect blend of attack and warmth.  Check out these close-ups of the detail that goes into construction:

by Dennis
January 7th, 2010

This is a beautiful Sounds Like Art Series II snare carved from solid Bubinga.  Also known as the Dragon Snare, it’s 14″x7″ of pure beefy attack.  The finishing work consists of nothing more than a clear coat over the natural color of the Bubinga, providing a rich contrast against the chrome hardware.  A truly beautiful drum that sounds great, check it out:
