What We Think

There's something special about drums that are built close to your home. They seem to fill you with a feeling of pride when you put your sticks to them, and this solid Birdseye Maple Snare from Carolina Drum Works will definitely make you proud to play it. Its unusual 5x13 size provides a fast and crisp attack with wonderful amounts of sensetivity. The solid shell provides a full and complex tone with a fantastic volume cieling, as well. These sonic factors combined with the beautiful aesthetic of natural Birdseye Maple make for a wonderfully unique and versatile instrument!

Manufacturer's Description from Other

Carolina Drumworks Gold Series snares incorporate solid wood shells in stave, segment or steambent single ply configurations Solid steambent shells are single pieces of solid wood bent into circular shape. They have only one seam, so they provide the purest tone of any shell. They can also be made thinner than stave shells, generally a quarter inch thick with additional reinforcing rings at both edges to strengthen the shell and support the shape. Steambent shells generate great tone and resonance. They are not likely to split, but they will not stand up to impact as well as a ply construction. These solid shells can be especially beautiful when a striking grain pattern runs all the way around the drum.

Carolina Drumworks also modifies our designs and techniques to allow for individual shell characteristics. For example, both steambent and stave shells are more susceptible to expansion or contraction due to extremes of temperature or humidity, since solid wood with its parallel grain will react more strongly to these factors than multidirectional plys do. Contraction around hardware and the screws holding it can actually inhibit shell resonance by creating tight pressure against the hardware. So we use a 1/32" larger hole diameter when drilling these shells to allow variance in the shell without affecting the sound of the drum.
