Up-close & Personal: Dixon Artisan Chris Brady 13" x 6" Australia Rose Gum Snare Drum

As we know by now, Dixon is one of the masters maker of snare drums, with its quality range of series from Spark, Fuse, Classic, Artisan Equator to Artisan Chris Brady snare drums.

Chris Brady, the iconic Australian drum builder has partnered with Dixon to make 3 different sizes of rose gum snare drums. Rose gum is much harder, which results in increased resonance and a unique tone. This snare features outstanding acoustical properties that generate a different sound than traditional maple and birch shells.

And furthermore the Dunnett throw-off raises the drums to an even higher level!
