I had this drum made for me by the Brady company in Australia. It is made of an exotic Australian wood and is made from blocks that are glued together. I chose to make it smaller than most snares (12 inch versus 14 inch) to try to get a tight sounding drum, but I made it very deep (7 inches) to give it a little more low end. The end result is a drum with a very specific sound. It has a nice crack to it when pushed and some very nice overtones. I like that it is very different than my other three snare drums. I'll be using it to create contrast with the other snares in some of the Venezuelan music I'm planning on recording.
