As fas as new snare drums for 2014, Natal offers a full line of hand-hammered metal snares. This range contains everything: chrome, brass, nickel and copper in different finish options (brighter or darker, whatever your preferences) . Sizes range from 10" to 14" wide and from 6.5" to 5.5" deep.
Natal's new line of Pure-Stave snare drums from Italian woods are made in small runs at the Marshall factory in Milton Keynes, England. Each stave snare is made like a conga where twenty different staves are cut and then formed into a circle. In the end you get a drum that's about 0.75" thick with a dryer, more focused tone.
The new Pure-Staves are available in Ash, Walnut and Maple, and finished with 100% natural bees wax. This means that no chemicals have been used in the finishing process. The wax is applied by hand to the shells without the use of solvents. It is then brush polished to increase the temperature allowing it to take to even the smallest pores in the wood. Available in sizes 6.5x14" and 5.5x14".
