Design Your Dream: Custom-Made Hardwood Stave Snare Drums

Here is your exclusive opportunity to design and build a truly unique, custom-made stave snare drum.

Experience the unparalleled depth, warmth, and resonance that only a handmade hardwood stave shell can deliver. Unlike standard ply drums, our vertically oriented stave construction ensures maximum timber density and vibration, resulting in an instrument with incredible attack and sustain.

Select Your Timber & Start Building

Begin your custom drum journey by selecting your preferred shell wood species (e.g., Jarrah, Blackbutt, Wandoo, etc.) below. Then, scroll down to access the full range of drop-down options to build the rest of your specification.

Hardware & Features

you can customise everything from bearing edges and shell thickness to lug style and finish. We feature premium Evans drumheads as standard, ensuring professional quality sound straight out of the box:

  • Preferred Batter Head: Evans Power Centre Reverse Dot Coated
  • Preferred Snare Side Head: Evans 14 Inch Hazy 300 Snare

Please Note: Due to the meticulous, custom-made nature of these instruments, new builds and handmade orders typically require about 12 weeks for completion. We promise the wait is worth the ultimate tone!
