Pork Pie snare drums have long been regarded for their looks and sound. This Pork Pie 8x14 maple snare drum with a Flat Root Beer Metallic finish continues the tradition with style. The flat metallic finish has a nice muted look that is complemented by the chrome hardware. 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 degree 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 those who love big sounding snare drums without the big price, this Pork Pie snare drum should be on your consideration list.
In this video, Sound Pure percussion specialist Barry Knain explains the various features of the Pork Pie 8x14 Maple Snare Drum Root Beer Metallic Flat and tests it out in several different tuning ranges.
Pork Pie drums are the top-of-the-line. Standard equipment includes: 100% maple shells, Pork Rings mounting system, 2.3mm hoops, heavy duty spurs and our hour-glass shaped lug. Finish choices are limitless. Offering bearing edges that are hand-sanded and precision cut, the tonal quality of the shell gives you the warmth of maple. The hardware includes hourglass lugs, exclusive to Pork Pie, and 2.3mm heavy-duty hoops that can take the best you can dish out. The drum comes outfitted with Remo USA heads so you're able to enjoy fine tones straight out of the box.
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.
