It all starts with individual select-grade plies of indigenous Australian hardwoods in our revolutionary "dry mould" system, which was pioneered by Chris in 1988. Each specific veneer is hand-coated with special epoxy resin glue and pressed into the mould to become a non-cross laminated, 100% horizontally grained ply shell. The "dry mould" system bonds the veneers together through extreme pressure rather than (moisture inducing) conventional steam bending techniques. The clever combination of the epoxy and the "dry mould" system means reinforcement hoops are not necessary on a Brady drum and our shells are guaranteed to never go out of round.
Chris' abstract approach to traditional manufacturing techniques allows us to produce shells with a wide open tone that no mass-produced drum can match. Our ply shells offer a much broader sonic range, with more sustain, more projection, more natural low-end and incredibly wide tuning parameters. Snare drums are distinct, resonant and satisfying; bass drums pack a punch; and toms simply sing.
