Steam-Bent Wood Shells

"Our Sound Truly Makes the Difference."

Is Your Wood Solid?™

The JNDC custom wood snare collection is comprised of single-ply steam-bent wood shells made with two distinct types of wood, creating the Legacy Series and the Exotic Series. The wood shell snare collection features small, large or no vent design, 24k gold-plated brass JNDC feather motif drum badge, and hand-rubbed Tung oil finishes. These drums also feature unique JNDC bearing edges and vintage-inspired snare beds.

Legacy Series and Exotic Series snare drum hardware consists of bright nickel-plated 2.5mm solid brass triple or single flanged hoops, ten solid brass Corder tube lugs, and the proprietary cast bronze JNDC “One Touch Classic” snare drum strainer (throw-off) system available in set player snare string or tape applications and symphonic player snare cable wire application.

A certificate of authenticity, serialized lapel badge, JNDC Strainer Tutorial DVD, and a complimentary embroidered soft shell case accompany each instrument. The JNDC Legacy Series and JNDC Exotic Series single-ply steam-bent wood snare drums come in 7x14, 6.5x14, 5x14, and 4x14 sizes.

Legacy and Exotic Series Features

Legacy and Exotic Series shell features and attributes are a result of five years of extensive research, development, and sourcing, but over thirty years of playing, recording, touring, tuning, restoring, maintaining, and collecting drums were at the foundation of the final design. Even today elements of the design undergo constant evaluation and scrutiny, in order to challenge and improve the existing execution of the design and supporting concepts. In light of our commitment to quality, design, and performance excellence, we wanted to shares some of the basic principles of drum design, as well as, the JNDC interpretation and execution of those design principles.
