Bristol Drum Co. produces a range of wooden segmented snare drums. Our drums are all individually made in a workshop in Bristol, UK, and involve many hours of careful craftmanship to produce each one.
Each snare has its own unique serial number, and no two drums will ever be completely identical.
The drums are made using a segmented construction technique. The appearance is the natural wood, cut and finished with traditional french polishing materials and techniques, or hard wearing lacquer, and does not rely on wraps or veneers.
The finished drums come in a range of 10", 12", 13" and 14" diameters, and thicknesses up to 1/2".
High quality fittings are standard with an option to customise the drum hardware for individual orders.
A range of indigenous and exotic hardwoods are used to produce drum shells that both look and sound as a real drum should. Some of our drums have a traditional, vintage feel to them: this is enhanced with the use of stylish tube lugs that give a timeless classic look to the drums.
Additionally we have a range of very distinctive black drums that are anything but traditional, made using valchromat and coloured ply veneer laminate.
