Bloodwood Stave Snare Drum
Bloodwood is a very dense hardwood found in Central and South America, named for its deep crimson color. It is described as “chatoyant” because of its luster and iridescent qualities in light. It’s a gorgeous wood and a personal favorite of mine.
This 6.5 x 14” solid wood stave snare features an ebony and holly inlay. All hardware is black nickel, including the DW Mag throw off/5 position butt plate and 3 mm triple flanged hoops. Bearing edges are 45 degrees with an 1/8” roundover and wide, shallow snare beds. It comes equipped with Evans heads and PureSound 30 strand snares.
Audio Samples
Recorded without EQ, compression, or effects at One Music Studios using SM57, SM7B, and C14 microphones. The first take of the build-up and beat are without muffling. The second takes utilize one moon gel on the top head.
