This pretty special Natal drum would be recommended for Intermediate to professional players. This is a pretty serious snare drum and will suit a bunch of different styles.

The snare has a really focused sound with a great rim shot and super sensitive touch. The shell is extremely thick and therefore the sound isn’t probably as deep as the size suggests but this snare would be a great all-rounder.

Out of the box, onto the stand and wham! Good sounding drum. Plenty of volume, low overtones and fuss free usability – throw off, smooth tension rods etc.

The signature to this Natal snare is the construction. It’s made from thick, solid block maple staves (or blocks of wood) and joined together to form a shell, the bearing edge is cut across the grain of the wood rather than with it promoting a more natural resonance and good volume. The snare also features a beautiful natural finish and lovely detailed fittings such as Natal’s Tri-Throw throw off.

The block maple stave is a bit of a beast really. I love the exotic nature of the construction, the way it looks and the way it sounds. It would be a great snare to own to get to know and experiment with.

RRP AUD$769.00
