As a drummer, I love drums with weird shells. I also have a saying about snare drums I learned on this forum: "They need to be about combat, not conformity". Want something soft for your Yacht Rock listening? That's called a tom-tom.
Most "boutique" snare drums are made from exotic woods: 1,600 year old Romanian oak, titanium, or repurposed cymbals that have been melted down into a shell.
This one, made from the stuff you used last weekend to set that mailbox post in the ground is what I envision when I think of a combat snare. Heavy, loud & takes no prisoners.
It's 6.5"x14" & claims its "dry & focused sound is perfect for studio recording."
No it's not. Your local sound engineer would punch you in the face for bringing this thing into their studio. The last thing they need are the cops showing up because some neighbor heard gunshots coming from within.
They also say it's "Explosive volume and projection make it great for live performance."
I'm with this as the front of house guy won't need to mic it. Just let it go & count how many people run for the exit as you hit successive rimshots during your set.
Con: It's $867.00!
Anyone here have a drum that's made from some weird material that they love?
