13″x6.5″ Dragon Snare Prototype, Cold Rolled Steel Hoops

by Dennis
June 6th, 2011

This 13″x6.5″ Dragon Snare prototype features 4mm thick cold-rolled steel hoops that go perfectly with the thick stave-construction shell.  These hoops have a thick and solid rim-shot similar to die casts hoops, but without the dryness that often accompanies die cast hoops.  The detail of the 360 degree carved shell is accented by the detail of the machined hoop clips, for an overall package that screams “I’m ready to rock your ears off”.  The finish is Scorched Maple with chrome hardware and a black Trick GS007 strainer.  Very happy with the way this one turned out, check it:

14″x5″ Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare

by Dennis
May 18th, 2011

The 14″x5″ is a recent addition to the Sounds Like Art lineup of Dragon snares.  The shallow depth and thick shell gives this model some serious attack and cutting power.  The finish on this one is the unique Scorched Maple satin lacquer with matching wood hoops.  Sounds Like Art = beautiful works of art meant to be wailed on!  Check it out:

Sounds Like Art Dragon with diecast hoops, and a sound sample

by Dennis
November 29th, 2010

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 Dragon Snare, with custom Scorched Carbon hardware…

by Dennis
February 19th, 2010

This cool 14″x7″ Dragon Snare from the Sounds Like Art series was finished in a deep red stain with our Scorched Maple finish over the top.  To compliment this color combo we added Scorched Carbon hardware for a deep textured black.  The all maple shell measures almost 1″ thick, for a snare that projects and cuts just as good as it looks.
