The Archer Snare Drum, 14" x 6.5" Cold-Pressed 10-ply English Yew Shell

English Yew was historically the choice of archers and at last we see it transformed into a beautiful drum shell. The British Drum Co. 'The Archer' 14 x 6" Yew Snare Drum has been lovingly handcrafted in the UK, using methods that ensure pristine sonic quality. Yew is a durable, flexibility tempered wood that produces warm, fat tones reminiscent of maple. Its destiny wto become an exquisite drum, has finally been realised.

The 10-ply shell features 30 roundover bearing edges which add further 'meat' to an already lusciously warm sounding shell. Equally, Yew offers a lively brightness adding that much needed top-end. Sounds gorgeous and looks the part, with aesthetic touches like the arrow badge, and an attractive golden BDC badge embellished with green sycamore to symbolise its English lineage. Topped off with 5mm rolled steel single-flange hoops and you have a very unique looking and sounding snare drum.

The British Drum Co. 'The Archer' 14 x 6" Yew Snare Drum achieves a unique sound through its carefully considered design aspects. The shell is cold-pressed which means it is moulded without the use of heat. The lack of a heating process means you get the best possible sound from the drum, as its sonic qualities are not altered. This takes longer, but it's worth every second for the far superior tone it provides.
