This Woodland Percussion 14"x 8"x 1/2" Stave snare is constructed of solid Red Oak. Oak is known for providing a well-rounded tonal range with great warmth and sustain. It's tonal qualities are quite similar to Maple, but packs a darker low-end punch. This Snare features our new Patina hardware! Each piece is meticulously aged by hand, creating an amazing vibe that compliments this drum's unique finish perfectly. Snare Specs: • 14"x 8"x 1/2" Red Oak Stave Shell • Barnwood Grey Stain Finish • 45 Degree Bearing Edges • Patina Hardware • 2.3mm Triple Flange Hoops • George Way Beer Tap Throw-Off/Butt Plate • Evans Heads • Wood WP Badge
Woodland Percussion prides itself in the attention to detail incorporated in our handcrafted stave snare drums. Stave drums are designed specifically to resonate and vibrate as naturally as possible, creating rich tones and strong projection. This process is unlike typical modern drum shells, fabricated with either ply construction (thin sheets of wood bonded with glue and pressed into a cylinder) or steam bent (a single piece of wood heated and curved under stress). Stave shells consist of vertically oriented blocks that are beveled and glued to create a cylinder. Allowing the grain to run in its natural direction and the staves bonded without any unnecessary stress plays a significant roll in achieving this superior sound.
