This marks the completion of Organic’s transition to the re-engineered, exclusive Modular Floating Shell (MFS) design, which incorporates several enhancements to the proven DFS design.

OCD president Rich Eisner explains:

"Based on feedback from our customers, we took a close look at everything from lug assemblies to the way our Tone Ring interacts with the drum shells and spent six months in a complete re-design phase. The end result is our Modular Floating Shell design, which continues the DFS concept of enabling drummers to quickly and cost-effectively swap drum shells to customize their sound for different playing situations, but incorporates modifications such as new lug assemblies, a segmented drum shell design, and new bearing edge options."

Organic Custom Drums’ final custom built DFS snare drum features single-ply, steam-bent Zebra Wood shells, 24 kt gold hardware (including 2.3mm triple flanged hoops, Trick GS007 throwoff, and custom machined lug assemblies) plus a unique custom bevel/channeled center ring and lug design, made exclusively for this drum.

In addition to the Zebra Wood snare drum, Rich Eisner also took delivery of a custom Rosewood snare drum, which was originally owned by Sean Paddock, drummer for Kenny Chesney’s band. The drum was played live at the 2010 CMA Awards on the duet I’m Alive, performed by Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews.
