We are very pleased to introduce the British Drum Co. Legend SE series Snare Drum.
MADE IN THE UK
We have been fans of BDC since the beginning and we really love the build quality and sound of these drums! The British Drum Company has fast become a big name in drums, and even better is that it’s being made in the UK! Founded in 2015 by Award-winning master drum-maker Keith Keough, Kasabians Ian Matthews, Pub Landlord Al Murray, Stu Warmington and Alan Kitching this brand is already going places.
The British Drum Company adheres to the proudest traditions of British drum manufacturing, using only British made shells, employing striking design and committing to constant innovation.
THE LEGEND SE (SPECIAL EDITION)
What makes this Snare a special edition is the Book Matched Spalted Beech exterior finish which for a limited time is available from British Drum Co’s private stock.
On first looks at this snare what really excites us is BDC’s incredible attention to detail. The beautiful Chrome B-Badge, the vent hole is also a secondary limited edition badge and then there is the stunning new hologram badge inside each drum too. The hand rubbed Spalted Beech finish is flawless and the internal reinforcement rings are finished in beech. Whilst much of this is more based on the look of the drum rather than the sound, it goes to show how committed BDC are to fully realising the complete build of this product. The Palladium lug and strainer are both made by BDC and that is before we talk about the shells. In a world where many drum makers are outsourcing a great deal of components that is certainly not the case with BDC and it makes for a superior looking and feeling product.
The Legend SE series shells are 10 ply Scandinavian Birch, these are cross laminated plies that utilise BDC’s signature Cold Press Moulding technique which results in a 6mm thick shell. 2 ply reinforcement rings are then added top and bottom to create a super strong shell, BDC then precision cut the 45 degree bearing edges.
This snare is up there with the finest Birch drums ever made. It has a beautiful rich tone, but can be tuned up for tonnes of character and crack.
The Palladium lugs and strainer draw inspiration from the Art Deco period, its a lug that loves lights and looks great from all angles.
