As part of a limited edition of 10 drums, this pure Rosewood shell snare drum is truly something special. It utilizes a thin shell design without reinforicing rings which helps accentuate the natural richness of the tonewood while providing a wide tuning range. Rosewood is a hard, dense wood and projects a powerful full-bodied sound. Rosewood’s natural beauty contrasts its naturally aggressive sound. The reddish/brown wood grain features a complex grain pattern that is highlighted by the clear high-gloss finish. The bearing edges are as smooth as they can possibly be and are given with a 45-degree cut with a small sharp counter-cut to focus the drum and raise the level of sensitivity. This thin Rosewood shell snare sounds great as a ballad snare tuned down, but equally, the sharp bearing edge and solid construction means there’s no fear in cranking it right up. In the higher tuning registry, the Pork Pie excels with sensitivity and snap.

Pork Pie Percussion is a drum company started in 1987 by Bill Detamore. Pork Pie's motto was "Made by an American." For over thirty years now, Pork Pie has been creating some of the finest American made custom drums.
In 1987, Bill Detamore started making drums as a hobby. He sold one, made two more, and so on. This evolved into some of the finest handmade drums available today. To take snare drums one step further, he introduced solid (one piece), exotic wood stave and plate brass designs. Pork Pie has also introduced their Little Squealer and Hip Pig series of drums to round out the line.
Over the years, Pork Pie has become the place where a drummer can hot rod an existing kit with new bearing edges, refinishing, or design the kit of their dreams. Bill's signature is on the inside of every Pork Pie USA drum. This is his guarantee of quality. Pork Pie's goal is your total satisfaction.
