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

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, with natural flames…

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:

Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare, with custom Scorched Carbon hardware…

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.

Dragon Snare finishing process, a time lapse view

Here’s something cool we cooked up this week while finishing up a run of Dragon Snares. This is a 14″x7″ Sounds Like Art snare with a custom mixed red mahogany base, natural maple flames, and a Scorched top coat. After the scorched top coat is applied, it is carefully rubbed by hand to get just the right effect. Check it out:
