A handcrafted snare drum featuring hand-cast brass hoops. This exquisite instrument is created through traditional sand casting, with the drum’s outer shell left in its raw, as-cast state — exactly as it emerged from the mold, preserving its organic character and unique texture.

Apart from lathe work and minimal drilling, every element of this drum is entirely handcrafted. The sand mold, casting process, and final shaping are all carried out using traditional methods, with files and steel brushes.

A defining feature of this drum is its integrally cast lugs, which eliminate the need for excessive drilling into the shell. This not only enhances structural integrity but also improves the drum’s acoustic performance, allowing for a richer, more resonant sound.

Every component of this instrument is made from solid brass, resulting in a distinctive tonal character, exceptional durability, and a truly luxurious aesthetic.
