The Padauk and Ambrosia Maple Side/Utility Snare
This 6.25x10 inch custom handcrafted snare drum is built from 100% Padauk wood staves with a 1 inch layer of Ambrosia Maple staves in the center. That lovely color and figuring is not a veneer, it’s through and through Padauk and Maple. Padauk is an African wood that is incredibly hard - about 50% harder than maple, but has a much more complex grain structure and red appearance. Ambrosia Maple is a beautiful medium hard wood. It has a die cast batter hoop for maximum attack, power, and volume, and a triple flanged resonant hoop for maximum resonance…this drum has it all. It is finished in pretty, pricey, durable high gloss polyester.
This drum has:
offset 45 degree bearing edges.
a 0.50” thick stave shell
handmade antiqued brass lugs (with brass shavings in resin at the center) and throw off / butt plate from W. Odd Drums in Serbia
black nickel die cast batter and triple flanged resonant hoops and tension rods
20 strand snare wires throw off and butt plate
Matching air vent grommet
