Dual Floating Shell Design
Organic Custom snare drums feature a unique Dual Floating Shell design, which allows the drum shells to resonate to their full potential, uninhibited by hardware, invasive drilling, and other factors that can limit sonic qualities. Each drum features two individual shells and a central ring made of hand selected maple. All hardware is attached to the central ring, allowing the shells to "float" within the structure of the drum, thereby enhancing the tonal qualities and resonance.

The Dual Floating Shell design presents new opportunities to enhance the sonic qualities and visual appeal of your custom snare drum by combining different shell types. For example, mix the bright, punchy qualities of oak with the darker, mellower characteristics of mahogany for a unique sound. Pair a maple shell with a birch shell to take advantage of the sonic characteristics of each. Mix and match ply configurations and shell depths, match an aluminum shell with a maple shell, or choose an exotic solid shell design.

Shells

Available shells include North American maple, birch, vintage mahogany, oak, cherry, brass, aluminum, steel, and a wide variety of solid shells, all made in USA. Our 100% maple and birch shells are available in 6-, 8-, and 10-ply configurations. Mahogany shells are available in 6-ply configurations, while oak and cherry shells are available in 10-ply configurations. All solid wood shells come standard with maple reinforcement rings installed. Solid steam-bent shells offer unsurpassed tonal range and rich timbre, and are the leading choice for ultra high-end custom snare drums.

Bearing Edges
Every drum features 45-degree bearing edges that are precision-cut, hand-sanded, polished, and waxed for optimal head placement and tonality. 30-degree bearing edges are also available, allowing for more head to shell contact for a vintage tone.

Hardware
Each drum comes with the industry-leading Trick GS007 precision aluminum throw-off, top-of-the-line PureSound Custom Series 20-strand snare wires, 2.3 mm triple-flanged hoops, and precision-machined tube lugs.

Finishing
Hand-rubbed finishes are available in your choice of satin or high gloss. Custom air-brushed designsare also available, allowing for endless design possibilities. Hardware finishing options include chrome, satin, black, brass, and custom powder coating.

Options
Choose die-cast hoops for a more controlled sound, or custom wood hoops for stunning visual appeal and a natural tone. Add custom inlays to your wood hoops, or customize artwork for the center ring. Whatever you choose, Organic Custom Drums will work closely with you throughout the building process to ensure we exceed your expectations for an exceptional snare drum, customized to your requirements.
