This drum represents the combination of lots of hard work and research and development that we've been involved in over the past couple of months. We made the steel shell for this drum in house. It is handmade using old world metal fabrication techniques.

The material in this drum is raw plate steel, that's 1/8 of an inch thick. This is not your everyday normal steel snare drum. Almost all steel drums on the market are made from thin gauge steel sheet metal that is either rolled or spun into a cylinder. This thin sheet metal can make for an abrasive and unpleasant sound. By using a much thicker gauge of metal, we managed to capture the power and focus of a steel drum while still being a warm and musical instrument.

The finish on this drum is a chemically applied oxide patina. Our goal was to keep the steel as close to its original form as possible, let the material speak for itself. We then apply a thin satin lacquer to prevent any rust.

This drum also features our handmade carbon steel hoops. Made from raw bar stock steel, hand forged into the most durable and beefy drum hoop you've ever played.

The hardware  features our signature gear tube lug, a vintage style cast strainer, a diecast air vent, a diecast buttplate, our antique silver cast HHG badge, Evans heads, and puresound snare wires.
