Welcome to the home of Custom Snares

We offer 13" and 14" custom had made snare drums.  We use a very unusual method to manufacture our shells.  What's missing? PLIES.  That's right, no plies.  Our shells are single thickness hardwoods. 

I am doming these among other current models:

The Duke:
  made from Padauk, a member of the Rosewood family.  It boasts unmatched bright orange red colors with grain ranging from Purple to Brown and Black. approx. $300

All Heart:
 made from Purple heart, another African hardwood with, you guessed it, Purple color.  Not just purplish, we mean PURPLE.  The grain is subtle but the color is striking. approx $275

Zebra:
 Made from Zebrawood, a light tan and black striped hardwood.  It's contrasting grain and tight grain make for a beautiful and tight sounding instrument. approx. $300

Maple:
 made from Southerm Maple or Hard rock Maple, this light colored hardwood is the industry standard...but with our NO PLY technique, Maple is finally allowed to sound the way is was meant to. approx $200

Mah Hog Annie:
 Made from Honduran Mahogany, it is a medium brown with mild grain but astounding sound. approx $280
