DrumCity GuitarLand Product Review: Year 3,000
Drum Workshop (DW) a 40 year old company, thousands of turns ahead, throws us drummers into a loop. Snare drums have been the voice of drummers for centuries, it’s our “Holy Grail.”We have the choice of multiple woods and metals to find that sound. What sound is that? “I don’t know” cause we all march to the beat of a different drum. So why not add another piece to the tone. This year DW has introduced the Concrete snare shell.
This shell is a 5.5mm shell with standard 45 degree bearing edge and snare beds. Made from cast concrete soap stone with a slate like finish. DW’s one of a kind “MAG” throw off, with 3 point snare tension. Available only in 5.5×14” and 6.5×14”. These concrete snares are ideal for studio sessions and live performance settings and provide an undoubtedly different tonality than wood or metal. “This drum is a completely different animal. Our goal is to outfit drummers with as many sounds as possible, so this one definitely fits the bill. At first, we were surprised at the dry, focused sound, but, man does it have volume! IT’S A SHOTGUN!” – John Good.
You may check this “shotgun” snare out on our website @ www.drumcityguitarland.com or stop by the shop.
