Snare Drum Shells

Using a wrap to finish your drum is a great way to get an outstanding finish in very little time. If you are wrapping multiple drums you should find out if your wrap supplier has specific configurations already cut to size for your drums, if not you'll need to calculate how much wrap you will actually need to buy to be able to cover all your drums. If you are unsure of how to do this, just ask your supplier to help you figure it out. First you will need to cut your wrap to size. An easy way to do this is to wrap it around your drum shell and mark the edge of the shell all the way around. This shows how to wrap a bass drum. If your wrapping a smaller shell follow the directions below as follows, but you'll just end up with one seam.

(Some wrap manufacturers don't make wrap to go all the way around large drums, so you'll end up having to use 2 pieces for larger drums - mark your cut line around the top of the shell)

You may use a sharp pair of scissors to cut the wrap. Sparkles are a little easier to cut than glass glitter wraps. Plan on sharpening your scissors frequently if you need to cut a lot of wrap. After you cut your wrap to the length of your shell, you'll need to cut it down to the diameter of your shell. An easy way to do this is to use a flexible measuring tape (for sewing) to measure all the way around the shell and add an extra inch for overlap. Now lay the wrap down flat and measure out that distance and use a straight edge to mark your next cut.

Now lay your wrap down flat on the ground and mark the center of the wrap on a piece of tape.

Now you need to do a test fit with your wrap. The age old question has always been "Where should the seam go?" Most drum companies do this: Toms; under a lug, kick; on the bottom where it can't be seen, Snare; under the strainer to hide it. You will want no less than 1" of overlap for your seam. To make sure you line up your seam when gluing you'll need to get your test fit wrapped around the drum as tight as possible, with your seam lined up in your designated area, and then transfer the center mark on your wrap to the edge of the shell. Also mark each end of your wrap where the overlap is on the shell.

To achieve maximum adhesion you'll need to scuff/rough up the shell and the back side of the wrap. The best way to do this is to use 80 grit sand paper and sand the entire surface of the drum and the back of the wrap (don't sand through your wrap). You'll also need to peel back the protective plastic on the front of the wrap where your seam will be, measure your 1 inch seam and tape off the area you don't want to scuff up or get glue on, and sand this down as well.

You can even lightly score the seam with a razor blade. Lightly sand the back of the wrap with 80 grit sand paper.

Trick O.C.C. Snare Drum 6x14 $799.99 The 14" x 6" OCC Snare Drum is a replica of the one featured on the American Chopper TV show. The drum is finished with graphics inspired by a bike built for The OCC Band on the show. The snare boasts a flat-black powder-coated finish, red powder-coated hardware, laser-machined skull vents, a GS007 throw-off, and pin striping hand-done by hot rod pin striping legend Jim Brando. The Trick OCC snare has a numbered badge and was personally signed by the president and founder of Trick Drums, Mike Dorfman.Known for its sonically superior machined aluminum creations, Trick drums is considered a leader in artistic graphic design for percussion instruments, specializing in high-end powdercoating and cutting-edge art.A custom drum kit built by Trick Drums for the OCC Band was featured on the popular television show about Orange County Choppers, a New York-based motorcycle company that specializes in custom motorcycle design and graphics.Trick snare drums Manufactured from the same AL13 shell as Trick's drum sets, Trick snare drums feature lathe-cut bearing edges, solid machined-aluminum tuning lugs, and precision snare beds. Trick snare drums provide the player with amazing sensitivity, projection and cutting power. With simple head changes, the Trick OCC snares will cover every type of musical situation. Trick's snare attachment cable is made from aircraft grade, interwoven stainless steel cable, which is sealed in nylon. Trick's AL13 alloy Trick drums are manufactured using the AL13 resonant alloy. This material comes certified from the mill with a guarantee that every Trick drum shell has a 1/8"-thickness. AL13—combined with Trick's manufacturing process—provides pureness of tone, resonance, durability, and performance. By taking this uniform approach, the shells separate tonally—in relation to their size increments—with no other variables, allowing Trick drum shells to tonally descend in a perfectly pitched separation.The reason this doesn't apply to wooden shells is because they're manufactured from numerous plies, each of which can differ in hardness and moisture content. Most shells made from wood contain several plies held together with glue. That process has a negative effect on any drum shell's ability to resonate a clear and true tone.Trick drums feature double-45° lathe-cut bearing, which allows for superior attack, sensitivity, and faster tuning.

GMS Special Edition Snare Drum 7X13 Chestnut $504 GMS snare drums use a throw-off and butt system on all that was designed by GMS and machined from brass. The unique nylon lock nut, prevents the throw-off adjusting knob from loosening, keeping GMS' promise to have a system that is simple, trouble-free, and effective. All GMS snare drums feature 20-strand, heat-treated, high-carbon steel snare wire. Hoops on all drums are 2.3mm steel triple flanged. All snare drums have coated Evans G1 tops, and 300-gauge snare bottoms.One of the more innovative drum companies in the market, GMS Drum Co., is known for creating ingenious, yet functional products for drummers. Knowing many drummers prefer the split-lug look and to see more of the shell's finish, they developed the "SE" (Special Edition) lug. Despite its very small footprint, it provides the same musical quality and resonance of its larger predecessor, the "Grand Master lug." It also has the same swivel nut as the "GM" lug, but diverts shell stress, by tensioning from the bottom of the lug casing, as opposed to the top. This makes it visually appealing while also contributing to the quality of these Special Edition snare sound.The GMS Special Edition drums are made up of select 8-ply North American maple with no gradation in the thickness of the shell as the diameter gets larger. After extensive research, GMS decided the thicker shells give the best performance, providing good vibrations in all dynamic situations with little to no distortion or necessity for reinforcement hoops which can cause problems with resonance. The shells they came up with are thin enough to give you wide tonal ranges, strong enough to not need reinforcement hoops, but not so thick as to raise the frequency to a higher pitch. Another unique aspect of their construction is the staggering in the seam construction so none of the ply seams line up with each other. This cross-laminating process creates an even sturdier product. GMS bearing edges utilize a 45-degree cut on the inside of the shell and a shallow 45-degree counter cut on the outside, a gradated bearing edge around the set. In essence, the edges are sharper on smaller-diameter toms and get rounder as the diameter gets larger. This exclusive process enhances the drums' attack and sustain, while offering larger drums more low end and punch. As you can see in the pictures, these aren't just well-built drums, but visual beauties as well. To get there, they go through an intense process that starts with hand sanding of the raw shell to give the paint a better surface to which to adhere. They're then primed with a clear primer. They get sanded again until they are flat and even and ready for the paint. After they dry for 10-14 days, they are sanded with no fewer than 6 grades of sandpaper. As soon as they are deemed smooth as glass, they are sent to be buffed by two grades of imported European compounds. The end result is an unmatched mirror-like finish.For snare with more fl
