Selecting the finest Australian hardwoods, we tongue-and-groove individual “blocks” of timber on a slight degree angle. Using our special epoxy resin glue, each block is hand-coated, then joined together to form a perfect circle.
After being carefully lathed to provide a smooth interior and exterior finish, a sharp 45-degree bearing edge is meticulously hand-cut into each shell before spraying and fitting.
A sheer joy in the studio, block shells differ sonically from ply shells in that a block shell has a very quick decay and a thicker tone; therefore sound engineers no longer need to use noise gates or heavy reverb plates to enhance natural tones. Renowned for their thick, throaty, woody bark, Brady block shell snare drums thrill, seduce and surprise.
