Built for character. Designed for expression. Every DRUM DESIGN snare drum combines carefully selected materials, precision craftsmanship, and uncompromising tonal aesthetics. From powerful attack to the finest dynamic nuances, each snare develops its own distinctive character and makes every stroke unmistakably yours.
The Snaredrums Collection
Designed for perfection.
Built for performance.
Every DRUM DESIGN instrument is shaped, finished, and tuned by hand in our Austrian workshop. We source slow-grown timber, age it for years, and refuse compromise — because the player will hear every shortcut.
Depending on the drum series, we use different woods. These include Canadian maple, special woods such as cocobollo, and native beech or maple.
Finish
Whether oiled, lacquered or high-gloss polished finishes — we dedicate our full attention, all our know-how and highest precision to every single finish.
Sizes
We are able to manufacture shells in our presses ranging from 8″ to 26″ for drum construction.
Hardware
We mainly equip our drum sets with our own DRUM DESIGN single-tension lugs, available in chrome, gold, black chrome, or custom colors. For the Vintage series, oval lugs are used to capture the authentic look and feel of the 1960s.
