Here we have a Red Rock Heritage series 14 x 6.5 Jarrah Snare Drum. Red Rock shells are their biggest asset. Red Rock's in-house master craftsman Roger has brought original ideas to life in collaboration with Mat's dreams and visions; influenced by Mat's restoration of vintage drums as well as his touring and recording experiences. The development of Red Rock's shell design occurred organically over
many years through modernisation of old ideas, trial and error, and no help from the web or social media.
Red Rock shells are 5-7mm thin dependent on the drum diameter. They feature the first lathed-in reinforcement rings we knew about, giving more structural integrity whilst allowing these thin shells to resonate as they should. Furthermore, Red Rock state that the reinforcement rings have EQ properties which taper off complex high pitched frequencies leaving the rich body of tone
Red Rock arrived at their current snare bed design after attempts at various traditional beds which returned no satisfaction to them. Red Rock had believed for quite some time that there has been an unnecessary imbalance of snare wire crispness compared to how much body of the drum tone is heard. Red Rock say their snare bed brings the balance more in check, allowing more full bodied drum tone without sacrificing snare response across amplified stages, acoustic environments, and in recording studios. Their snare beds produce clarity and sensitivity at all dynamics across all playing zones of their snare drums.
