From the dawn of American drum manufacturing, the pinnacle of the drum-making craft has always been the solid shell snare drum. And no other type of drum speaks with the powerful authority and sound quality of a Markley Custom Solid Shell snare drum.
Using a combination of traditional hand-craftmanship and high-tech construction methods, one single board of select wood is carefully prepared, steamed, and bent into the circular shape that will become a highly prized musical instrument. Once complete, the entire drumshell resonates as a single piece, allowing the unique voice of the chosen wood to emerge. And because there is significantly less glue used in a solid shell drum vs. a ply, stave, or segmented shell drum, what you hear is the wood’s purest tone – and there’s absolutely nothing better than that.
Markley Custom Solid Shell snare drums are available in a wide variety of woods. If you have a specific wood in mind for your special Solid Shell snare drum, just ask – we can probably do it for you. So when you want the very best, ask for the Markley Custom Solid Shell snare drum. |
