Sound Pure's Take
For decades now, Metro Drum Company has been creating some of the finest handcrafted drums from Australia and we are super excited to have these drums.
This Blackbutt snare drum with Sticksaver hoops brings a throwback flair with modern build tolerances. Finished in a natural gloss, the mineral streaks of this gorgeous timber really stand out and provide a beautiful complement to the chrome hardware. The Blackbutt coupled with the 8 lug configuration bring a smashing attack that we fell in love with. The Sticksaver hoops bring a nice full-bodied rimshot you've come to expect from modern drums while tipping the cap towards a retro look. The Trick throw-off is multi-stepped and allows players who prefer multiple snare sensitivities an option to take advantage of this with a turn of the strainer. A total of three snare positions and one off position.
This is just one of the many options that Metro Drum Company has available. Whether you prefer modern builds or vintage sounds, give us a call and get on the road to sonic and visual bliss.
From Metro Drums
The Metro ply shell snare is both dynamic and articulate. These drums have the characteristic volume and projection of the best steel shells, but with a warmth and depth that no metal shell can capture. An expressive instrument with an open, lively sound, these ply shell snare drums respond instantly to even the most subtle stickings.
