Padauk Snare Drum

The Barbary Series

AKA "The Masterly"

The Barbary series feature an array of beautifully crafted stave and segmented drums.  

The Barbary Series have all the high end features that really make a snare drum special; quality tone woods and shell construction, die cast hoops, quality snare strainer and complete with a beautiful high gloss finish.

The Stave variant of the Barbary series makes for a quality built, highly projecting and tonally pleasing snare drum. Stave drums by nature, have a thunderous projection and attack! Our Barbary series are very much 'to the point", with a reasonably short, sharp attack and a short decay. Although overtones are present, they are controlled and focused, allowing more scope for fine-tuning the overall sound of the drum. The addition of die cast hoops and a high gloss finish add to the overall attack and brightness of the sound! 

The segmented variant of the Barbary series makes for a quality built and tonally pleasing snare drum that is extremely versatile. Segmented drums by nature, tend to have a "wetter sound' than their stave counter parts, with a slightly more subtle attack, medium sustain and longer decay. Although overtones are present, they are controlled and focused, allowing more scope for fine-tuning the overall sound of the drum. The addition of die cast hoops and a high gloss finish add to the overall attack and brightness of the sound. 

The Black Walnut- produces a sound that is aggressive, warm and woody, performing excellently at all tuning ranges.

The Mahogany - produces a sound that is warm and fat with boosted mids, performing excellently at all tuning ranges. For that classic Mahogany sound and high end features, this snare drum makes for a wonderful package.

The Padauk - produces a sound that is projecting, bright and yet still maintains a "full bodied" sound, performing excellently at all tuning ranges; excelling in the higher tuning range.
