Starting way back in 1980, when Chris Brady carved himself his first snare drum, over the years Brady Drums have become a leading specialist in manufacturing snare drums and drum sets. At NAMM the company has their regular open booth, but with some of the best snare drums there are in the industry. Drummers like Dave Abbruzzese (Pearl Jam), Daniel Adair (Nickelback), Kenny Aronoff, Travis Barker (Blink 182), Neil Peart (Rush) and even the great late Jeff Porcaro are on Brady's artist roster. Special in looks for sure, special in sound as well.

Why not? Because it makes every drum even more unique.
Yes, we actually do mean fungus in the sense of rot. Australian timbers sometimes get attacked by a fungus. This creates a unique feathering dark stain. Have a closer look at Brady's products in the videos with this article the company presented at NAMM 2011.
