5" x 14 Purple Heart "I am"

The “I Am” Tribute Snare Drum is more than an instrument—it’s a statement. Built by hand from striking Purple Heart wood, this snare is made to be played hard, heard clearly, and felt deeply. Every detail is intentional, from the wood selection to the artwork, honoring sacrifice, identity, and the freedom to create.

This is a drum for players who want something real under their hands—something with weight, meaning, and a voice of its own.
