This 1-ply Steam Bent snare was made from a single piece of solid walnut. With custom fully rounded edges and the 8″ depth, it’s got an old-school fat sound that’s still incredibly crisp at the lower volumes. I’m a big fan of the steam-bent shells, as they tend to be very sensitive and make great full-bodied snares. This particular one featured a semi-gloss oil based finish, solid brass tube lugs, the Dunnett R4 MicRo strainer and Puresound wires. Check it out:
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:
This unique cocktail was created for euGENE Wendell, and is one of the more unique and versatile cocktail kits I’ve done recently. The finish is a rare and discontinued Peacock Pearl, I was able to snag the last few sheets from a friend in Nashville, just enough to make this versatile setup. The main cocktail drum features a 18″x16″ main drum with an 18″x8″ woofer attached. The tom is a 13″x9″ with custom built wood hoops, and the snare is a 13″x6″ with diecast hoops. The list of custom touches includes Phattie badges, a Dunnett R-Class strainer with quick-release snare change ability, DW/Dunnett quick release spurs for setting up the main cocktail drum as a kick drum, and XLR jacks installed in each drum for internal mic’ing. Lots of cool setup possibilities with this kit, check out the photos for just a couple:
Along with the kit posted yesterday, here is another beautiful drum in the Burnt Sienna Satin Lacquer Burst with matching yamaha-style wood hoops. 13″x6″ 10-Ply shell, Dunnett R-Class strainer, and solid brass tube lugs combine for a sweet little snare. The yamaha-style wood hoops color matched to the drum gives it a smooth, vintage-like appearance, check it out:
This 14″x7″ Dragon Snare features unique coloring that allowed the main shell to be stained a deep red, while the flames remained a natural maple that accents the detail in the carving. Black Chrome hardware and a Dunnett R-Class strainer provide function that goes great with the form, dig it:
