A fond farewell
Recently we’ve been the happy recipients of a Drum Art snare drum, beautifully made using stave block construction and a Pandouk shell. Before we tell you any more about it, lets get to what you really want and show you a few photos of it:

As with everything we get in store, we like to give it a bit of a test run so we can be confident of what we are saying when talking to customers if they have any questions about something they want to buy. With the Drumart snare we gave it to Guy to put through it’s paces and report back on, and he had this to say:
“Having tried it out I can safely say that I’ve never experienced a drum with such a wide dynamic range. Although it was made with classical music in mind, it’s warm lows and crisp highs make it perfect for rock music and it reminiscent of classic 70s Ludwig and Gretsch snares. At over an inch thick the unusual shell really gives this snare quite some beef!”
We’re sad to see this test model go back to the supplier, but we really did enjoy having the chance to give it a try out while it was in the store. Thanks have to go to Pete at Proel for the loan of the snare and we’re happy to report that all Drum Art snares are now available to order with prices on application via Newcastle Drum Centre. Take a look at the Drum Art site and draw yourself up a wish list.
Happy Drumming, NDC!
