SEAMLESS METAL SHELL SNARES

Features

1. More Full of Tone, Projection and Resonance!
   To get better sounds, DS DRUM uses a shell without spinning.
2. THE DIFFERENCE IS in The SHELL "C-SHAPE ™ SHELL"
   In order to create a better acoustic characteristics of Snare Drum, the shape and thickness of the shell were thoroughly studied, and the C-SHAPE SHELL was born over two years.
   
   This new conical shell has an increase in thickness toward the snare side side, the width of the bearing edge is different, the hitting surface is short, and the snare side side is wide.
   
   According to the DS Drum, it is designed to achieve a soft sound on the hitting surface and the maximum sound accuracy on the snare side side, a thick, warm, rich resonance, and a sharp, bright attack. He says that it offers a new and original sound that is completely different from metal snares.
   (I would like to test and verify the effects of the effect.)

Wood Snares

The DS DRUM wooden stick snare drum is a regular model "MOTHER NATURE Series" that takes an environmentally friendly manufacturing method, and "RCS | REBEL CUSTOM SHOP", a semi -custom order system!

Both series, unlike the general cross laminated prwion, use all the unified plywoods to aim for a clear and powerful sound like a veneer shell.

The Mother Nature Snare Series

It is a series full of affection for the earth, which aims to balance high quality instruments and environmental consideration.
For shell painting, a new water -based coating agent for wood is used, and this BIO coating is based on the latest green policy that is used worldwide using Italian recycled materials.

Pure Bog Oak 

This time, a limited model using BOG OAK (Bog Oak), which is prized as a "gift from God", is available.
