What We Think

Stave snare drums have been a long time favorite for players that are looking projection and tone woods outside of the normal offerings. With a shell construction that is similar to a conga, builders can shape new sounds for discerning players. This poplar shell comes in just a 1/2" thick giving this beauty focus at the lower dynamic and projection in the high dynamic. Poplar is a relatively soft tonewood, with soft highs and midrange but has more enhanced low-end and warmth than your classic maple drum. The 8-lug configuration provides a nice full-bodied note and the shallow snare beds exude senstivity from even the lightest touch at the edges of the drum. It's complemented with a Trick throw-off ensuring that your snare wires won't come loose even with your most aggressive playing.

Manufacturer's Description from Other

As the voice of the kit, our snares are raised like well-loved pups… bred and nursed with a surplus of attention. Like our kits, every snare is built from a single tree, insuring congruency of color and tone. Staves are orchestrated to visually flow from one to the next, aesthetics equaling performance in priority. Shells are built slightly undersized to avoid contact with the drumhead ring, allowing for solid wood expansion/contraction and maximizing resonance. Bearing edges are shaped by hand creating fluidity from shell to head, snare beds gently dipping to facilitate acute and sensitive responsiveness. Trick throw-offs, Puresound wires and our own Sugar Percussion lugs finish the outfitting. Time, effort and love… only 3 ingredients to make something well and beautiful.
