Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, 13″x6.5″ with matching Wood Hoops

by Dennis
March 9th, 2011

There are several new Sounds Like Art snares in the works and being prototyped; Todays post features the first 13″x6.5″ Dragon Snare to roll out of the shop.  Featuring the popular Scorched Maple satin-lacquer finish, black hardware, Trick GS007, and wood hoops in a matching Scorched Maple finish, this drum has a seriously beefy sound for a 13″.  The shell is over 3/4″ thick at the bearing edges and combined with the wood hoops the rim shots are incredibly solid and thick sounding.  Couldn’t have asked for more out of the first 13″, check it out:

Here’s a sweet little 14″x7″ dragon snare that was recently custom ordered with die cast hoops.  The thick 1″ stave-style shell combined with the stiffer hoops really give this drum a nice crisp tone.  Here’s a few photos, and a Zoom Q3 sound clip of it.  Great sounding snare, check it out:

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:
