Recently displayed at the 2011 Chicago Drum Show, this beautiful Sounds Like Art Dragon Snare turned a lot of heads. This model features a 14″x7″ maple shell finished in dark emerald green stain topped with a light brushing of gold. The protective clear coat is a semi-gloss satin lacquer, and black plated hardware rounds out this drum so it looks just as good as it sounds. The gold features a light metallic shimmer that accents the depth and detail of the wood carving, check it out:
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:
It’s hard to capture all the little details that go into a Sounds Like Art snare drum. Here’s a 14″x7″ Dragon with a Scorched Maple finish, filmed close-up in HD. Check it out for a 360 degree view of the carving and finishing that goes into one:
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:
