Productive Wood Drum Shell Manufacturing and Modification
All of our drum shells are manufactured from hand picked quality poplar wood panels. The wood mill cuts and delivers to our factory proper sizes for our shells by a computer-controlled saw. After the gluing, rolling, drying, and sanding process, the drum shells are checked for a level check, and measured for accuracy at a 15% sample rate. Next, the laminate wrap is applied, and holes are drilled into the shell for hardware, and sands down the edges of the shell for snare beds. Next, all hardware, drum heads, and snare wires are assembled to the drum shells. Finally, before packaging and shipping to our warehouse distribution location, our quality control technician visually inspects all the drums, and does a performance sound sample with a 5% sample rate. Once the inspections passes our standards, the finished production ships direct to our loading dock, where our sound technicians perform yet another & final sound sample before we enter the inventory as ready to be fulfilled.
We Take Sound Serious.
Our instruments and studio equipment are sound sampled by our hired sound technician. We focus on being competitive, all while not sacrificing quality of sound. Since most everyone at our brand has an extensive musical background, we are very rigorous in the sound quality process of equipment. Additionally, it allows us to act quickly and communicate efficiently with our factories production manager on when we see a need for improvement. Before and after each batch run from the factory, our instruments are sampled to confirm the quality, pitch and sound specs remain consistent from our previous production orders.
The Loud Vent | Over-Size Vents| 14 x 6.5 Birch Wood Snare Drum by Griffin
We know that you rely on your snare drum to provide a punchy sound and this birch wood snare drum with oversize vent from Griffin will not disappoint! Birch wood drums are known for their tonal qualities. These great tonal qualities include peaks in the high- and low-end frequencies with a rounded out mid-range. An oversize vent hole adds a distinctive and very loud CRACK to that great sound and helps project that sound to the audience. Griffin’s birch wood 14” snare drum will soon be your favorite. Our birch wood snare drum with oversize vent has eight (8) tuning lugs for a more stable, higher quality sound when compared to other six (6) lug drums. Utilize the snare drum throw-off to tighten, loosen, or mute the snares as you prefer, and we even include a drum key with each birch wood shell snare drum as well.

The bearing edge on this snare is super sharp!I received item # 444 of 1000 made. The heads are super thick, even the snare side head is super thick like a hazy 500 or 600!Has a great loud tone. When I first tuned the batter head the bearing edge started to crack the coating on the head. Luckily I'm also a woodworker and was able to recut the bearing edge and sounds BETTER no cracking of my heads! But you get what you pay for , this drum is under $50 . The new heads I put on it plus the snare wires was over $50. So there's that. I still recommend this drum to anyone but beware of these issues.

I put a Evans genera dry, a Evans snare side 300, & a Puresound Equalizer snare wire on it. Tuned it on the higher side. Put a evans e ring on top to control the ring a little bit. Getting a loud thick crack from it. Sounds good for rock and doom/sludge metal.

Purchased as a Christmas gift so it hasn't been used yet but overall, the drum is well constructed and the looks are an eye grabber.
