If you are currently looking for snare drum to add to your drum kit, why not consider purchasing a maple snare drum? The beautiful almost beech like colour of the wood pleases a lot of players, however, you may want to have your maple snare drum match your other drums, or you may want it to stand out, bold as brass, so to speak. A lacquer finish will be available in many colours and finishes, ensuring you get the right look as well as sound for from your drum.
Different plys (or layers) of wood contribute to different thicknesses, producing different sounds. Different woods used will also alter the sound produced. Without a doubt, one of the best ways of knowing which instrument is the right one for you is to test several out. The music industry is full of big names, big favourites, and many trendsetters. People, and buyers, often forget that music is an individual and self expressive medium. One that should not be based purely on the habits of consumers, but rather what that instrument has to offer to your own unique sound and style. Visit your local store and speak to staff members to arrange a small test in-store of various maple snare drums.
Trying different thicknesses, as well as sizes and makes, will produce different sounds. Try not to let the store member pitch a product to you, instead, listen closely to the sounds produced by each drum, and decide which of them sits more comfortably on your ear. Different people are looking for different sounds, I simply cant emphasise enough how important it is to dedicate time test driving as many snare drums as you can.
Yamaha, a name renowned throughout the music industry as experts in many different instruments, have a line of maple snare drums, including the AD 1460BC, the BDS-1050 and many more. Premier and Ludwig also have a range of maple snare drums for you to choose from. Premiers Modern Classic maple snare drum is an award winning product. Again, with so much choice, it is critical you spend time finding the right drum for you based on sound first. Once you have found the drum that produces the perfect sound, armed with the make and model of that drum, you can hunt away online and grab yourself a great deal.
Dont just get sold in a moment, especially during your test run in the store. This instrument will be one of many friends to your drum kit, and it needs to play well with the rest of the gang. Spend the time to make sure your purchase leaves you sat at the kit having fun for hours on end, and not sat sulking because the drum you purchased was a mistake. If you do experience love at first sight with a maple snare drum, and your online searches have been fruitless for finding one within your price range, then be patient, and save up. Youll be grateful you did once you have it.
