I've made thousands of drums - thousands. Out of those there are a few that I've really want to keep. None so much as this one. This is a bespoke clone of one of the first wood shell snare drums I made under the Dunnett brand. The original has been in countless studios and is on countless recordings. On a recent outing a drummer who I consider to be a friend asked if I would make him one. I've often turned down requests to make another one but this was a request I could not refuse - even though I wanted to. Now I'm glad I said yes. This drum - like the original - will make you forget everything you think you know about snare drums.
