Sound Pure's Take

Pork Pie snares have long been regarded for the looks and sound. This Pork Pie 8x14 maple snare drum with a Macassar Ebony veneer continues the tradition. It all starts with a thin 8-ply maple shell without reinforcing rings. The bearing edges are as smooth as they can possibly be and are blessed with a 45° cut with a small sharp counter-cut to focus the drum and raise the level of sensitivity. This thin maple shell snare sounds great as a ballad snare tuned down, but equally, the sharp bearing edges and solid construction means there’s no fear in cranking it right up for power and snap.


For drummers, studios, and/or producers looking to add a new sound to their arsenal, any Pork Pie snare drum would be well worth a look.
