The Legend Series is constructed from 10 ply 100% Scandinavian Birch, cross laminated and cold-press molded into a shell only 6mm thick. Adding 2-ply reinforcement rings and precision-cut 45 degree bearing edges results in super-strong, thin shells that promote naturally lower fundamental tones with immediate attack and deep controlled sustain. This particular LIMITED EDITION Legend Series Snare Drum features a spectacular, exotic Spalted Beech outer veneer that is sure to turn heads!
With a wide tuning range these precision hand-crafted drums are ultimately versatile. Tune them up to produce clean delicate highs for more subtle playing and tune them down to get deep and punchy bass drums and thunderous toms with unparalleled low-end growl.
Legend Series drums are equally at home on any stage or any studio and will take you to anywhere your music demands.

COLD-PRESS MOULDING PROCESS
Cold-Press Moulding
Cold-press moulding is the key to the British Drum Co. signature sound. As the name suggests, it is a procedure that eliminates the use of heat in the shell building process.
Worth the wait
Drawing on our rich experience in woodworking and drum shell manufacture, we believe it is the best way to handcraft our drums. Cold-press moulding maintains the optimum sonic qualities of the wood which would otherwise be compromised by the addition of a heated process. It does mean our drums take a little longer than most to create, but we believe this gentle, crafted approach is rewarded by a far superior tone. The resulting sound is well worth the wait.
The Perfect Fit
Every drum is hand built by skilled craftsmen. The shells are precision-cut to achieve the desired thickness. When our craftsmen hear the ‘click’ of each ply accurately fitting into place, we know we have achieved the perfect fit. Cold-press moulding is the heart of the British Drum Co. signature sound.
