The resonance of cross laminate shells (depending on ply amounts) is outstanding. Our 6 to 8 ply shells have excellent resonance and nice a low fundamental note (superb for toms)
For snares, we recommend 10 ply for extra rigidity and a higher pitch under tension.






‘Brick Block' –

This method of construction utilizes small pieces of curved shell, shafted together (horizontally) and built layer by layer in the same fashion a typical brick wall would be built.
It not as widely used as the traditional ply or stave methods. However, it is a brilliant way to build a rigid, resonant shell that highlights natural wood tones.

Great for snare drums,‘brick block' allows the drum to resonate at both low and high tension.You can crank ‘em right up to get all the bite you need





Stave Construction –

When you are looking for a snare that absolutely cuts, this method delivers the goods!
Vertical ‘staves’, like the brick (horizontal block) method, are shafted into each other to form the drum shell. The strength and rigidity of these shells is fantastic. The tonal qualities provided are perfect for snare drums. High end crack that could seriously shatter glass!


Plenty of resonant body for mid range frequencies. Also, this method conducts snare sensitivity extremely well. Thanks to the rigidity in construction, all of this can occur with minimal tension placed on the shell.
