Rainbow Sparkle 6.5 x 14

Another one I just completed this weekend. 6.5 x 14 birch ply snare shell, from Champagne Drum, with rerings installed.. I wrapped it with a nice rainbow sparkle from Precision Drum. I decided, for a retro look, to paint the inside a flat white, like early 60's Ludwig snares (I have an old Ludwig Pioneer snare with that interior).  Edges are roundover with 45 inner cut. Yamaha lugs, Pearl type strainer, triple flange hoops. The rainbow sparkle wrap will look great under stage lights.

Mahogany Snare - 5 x 14

Vintage style mahogany shell (Keller ply shell - mahogany / poplar / mahogany) with rerings installed. Roundover edges with 45 inner cut.  5 x 14. Tung oil finish inside and out. Lugs from Champagne Drum. For a bit of a change I mixed brass and chrome hardware on this shell. Hoops are maple ply with hoops lugs installed.

Ash - Wenge Segment Shell Snare

This 6.5 x 14 snare is based on a segment shell made of ash, with a wenge strip in the middle for a bit of contrast (I'm thinking it is not going to affect the tone of the snare very much). The shell is 3/8" thick, from Rhythm King Drums. All new hardware ("cocktail style" lugs from Drum Factory Direct - my go to supplier for most equipment, triple flange hoops from Candrum.ca - a Canadian supplier I've just started to buy some hardware from).
