HHG Drums 14x8 Maple Stave Snare, Antique White Pearl Lacquer

This snare is handcrafted with integrity from the finest hand selected hardwoods. All HHG drums are built by drummers, for drummers. Our goal is to provide our customers with the most musical and articulate drums available today. We guarantee you will love your HHG drum and it will hold a special place in anyoneÃÂÃÂÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs arsenal of instruments, from beginner to professional.

This is a very unique drum with a very unique aesthetic and voice. The foundation of this drum is our handmade, solid wood, Maple stave shell. A quality drum always starts with a quality shell, and there is no more quality shell available than an HHG stave shell. Our shells are meticulously crafted from hand-selected pieces of the highest grade solid lumber. Stave construction offers many tonal and aesthetic advantages over traditional plywood shells, the most notable being their powerful and articulate voice, followed closely by their unique grain patterns.

The finish on this drum is also unique and handcrafted. The drum is finished with an in-house blended nitrocellulose Antique White Pearl lacquer. The pearl adds a  shimmer when held to the light, and a subtle white haze, which has an awesome old school aesthetic to it, reminiscent of the glory days of early American vintage drums.

To tie together the vintage, old school aesthetic going on with this drum we powder-coated all of the hardware with a copper hue powder. The powder coating is incredibly durable, and won't ever tarnish the way chrome or other plated finishes will. Not to mention that this variety of powder coat paint isn't as one-dimensional as a plated finish, it has highlights and lowlights, metallic shimmer, and a really interesting texture.
