2.5x13 Aluminum Orchestral Snare Drum
Decibel Percussion focuses on creating 2.5"x13" orchestral piccolo snare drums. There has always a been a need for, and lack of options in terms of a ‘soft’ concert snare drum. Professionals often wait years to come across something like an original Barry Mfg. Co. Companion Drum. Our drums pay homage to the Barry Co. while providing significant modern improvements. We also offer an additional "mf" set of snares that are interchangeable with the original snares. This allows for a louder dynamic ceiling and converts the drum into more of a general piccolo range for slightly louder ensemble playing while retaining an expressive soft range. Please see our product page for our custom case which is expandable and designed to protect drums from 2.5”-4”x13”
Specs:
-Our 2.5"x13" drum shells have been made in variety of materials, but our Aluminum Orchestral Shelby series are finished in “Eleanor Grey”.
-8 single point high polish machined aluminum lugs.
-5 custom CNC stainless steel air vents surround the shell for a distinctive look and controlled resonance.
-Custom snare cables manufactured in the U.S. exclusively for Decibel Percussion are designed to speak extremely quickly and provide the most delicate sound possible.
-Custom Decibel side-pull strainer with integrated fine tuner and tension indicator is elegant as it is simple.
-4.5mm thick straight vintage style hoops are almost twice as thick as what most competitors use. These hoops allow the drum to resonate freely, but are strong enough to take rim shots all day and not warp over time.
-Heavy duty machined hoop clips which are much stronger than cast clips and therefore not prone to cracking.
-Equipped with ultra-thin no-collar Decibel heads produced for Decibel Percussion by Remo. Diplomat M5 weight batter heads and Diplomat hazy snare side heads are used on 2.5"x13" snare drums. Replacement heads are available for purchase upon request.
