Snare Drums

The Snare Drum is without doubt the most important sound source within the drum kit. A different Snare can change an entire song, make it sound recognizable even with the most crappy loudspeakers you can imagine. That’s why we at DrumCraft put a lot of effort into making those instruments.

Different shell materials and sizes give a wide choice of many sound colours. Every single Snare is an instrument that enhances your drumming language and will fit in any setup you might already have.

All Snares are equipped with the standard Nickelworks throw off.

Series 8

LTD. EDITION Bronze
This 14x6” Cymbal Bronze LTD. EDITION snaredrum is made in Germany in a strictly limited run of 60 pcs.
Each piece numbered and signed are these drums the pinnacle of our snare technology to date.
They come equipped with many one-of-a-kind features that you will never find again after these.

Bronze
Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin and traces of silver, is known since the dawn of man. Making snares out of this Material is therefore not new, but once you hold our DrumCraft Bronze snare in your hands you sense the difference.
A solid piece of equipment, not a lightweight at all. Giving you the ability to crush walls of amplification, yet it is sensitive and responds to the slightest tip of the stick.

Comes with brushed surface and satin chrome HW.

Aluminium
After a lot of research and sound development we came up with a 5mm thick specially treated Aluminium shell. To describe the sound is difficult, you gotta hear it. It’s like the best of both worlds, between the ringing of steel snares and the wooden sound touch of Maple.

Comes with brushed surface and satin chrome HW.

Steel
Steel Snares’ been around forever.
They offer certain sound qualities you miss with the other materials out there. We use 1,2 mm rolled steel for our DrumCraft instruments. They produce the typical “ring” as you would expect from steel, but still deliver enough punch to make it work for almost every musical situation.

Comes with polished chrome shell and stunning black nickel HW.

Birch/Maple
DrumCraft series 8 wood snare drums are the working horse in every setup made from either 8-plies Siberian Birch or North American Maple these fine instruments react to every players style the way he wants. Their stylish looks with the satin lacquer finish and satin chrome HW underpins the technical perfection in design. But more than that it is about sound control. Whether you prefer ultra low fat tuning or the short high pitch attack of side snare – it’s all there.
You get total tuning independence with the 2,5mm projection hoop that holds even tension and, as the name already applies, enhances the drums sonic projection.
The Nickel Drumworks throw off works as smooth as silk and every little nuance of your snare preferred style is put in motion.

Comes with classy satin lacquer surface and satin chrome HW.
