Dunnett 7x14 Classic Stainless Steel Snare Drum

Dunnett Classic Stainless Steel Snare Drum

7x14

This is the drum that redefined "metal" snare drum. Before the Classic Stainless, metal snare drums had a reputation of being harsh and nasal. When I introduced the very first Classic into recording studios in Vancouver - an 8 x 14 prototype known affectionatley as Number 1 - the concept of a warm, rich and sensitive metal drum became a reality. Since the creation of Number 1 there have been improvements in the hardware - things like the R4 throw off, the Hypervent 1 and of course the current George Way Double Edge / Double Flange hoops, however very little has changed in the design of the shell. The drums I started producing in 1989-90 sound the same as the ones I make now. Consistent - but not too consistent. In spite of the consistency, every Classic has its own personality and unique sonic DNA. I still make the Classic Stainless in almost any size you can think of and in a variety of finishes - the natural #4 finish and the polished #8 being the standards. Other coating options may be available.
