A premium snare co-designed with the legendary Rick Dior! Hand crafted in Australia. Assembled in the U.S.A. and shipped FREE! About: Each drum is meticulously handcrafted by Salvador Morales (Entity’s founder) to provide musicians with the unique sonic characteristics and wide tuning range of a Jarrah block snare drum. Recorded or played live Entity snares articulate every stroke with wonderful mid to low range frequencies that are coupled with a metallic high end, similar to steel snare drums. Jarrah: Due to its remarkable density and interlocking grain, Jarrah has incredible projection and attack with a distinctly woody bark. It’s bold, growly and earthy character suits styles where a powerful and resonant sound is desired. Mahogany: Warm, deep, and rich sound with a smooth midrange and muted highs. Its sound is often described as vintage, resonant, and powerful, making it a popular choice for styles like jazz and classic rock. Block vs Ply Shells: When you move into the boutique space, you will find block drums. In case you are not sure what a block drum is, we will give you a quick rundown. Instead of plies that are bent and glued together, block drum shells are comprised of solid pieces of wood arranged in a circle. These pieces are cut and joined into a solid shell. It is a more natural method of building drums and more costly due to an increased amount of timber while requiring additional build time. A ply drum typically uses 30% to 60% glue in its construction. Our block shells use less than 1%! This allows the drum to resonate more freely and gives Entity snares a very wide tuning range. Our Signature bearing edge: Provides a warm tone with a fusion of crisp, articulate attack. 9MM Shell Thickness: Provides a balance of sustain, sensitivity and rich tonality. Hardware: The INDe SBMini Drum Strainer: Perfectly complements our boutique stave snares, offering a sleek, lightweight, and reliable throw-off. Providing ultra-smooth snare engagement. When disengaged this strainer ensures the snare wires are far from the resonant head and cannot be heard even under the heaviest hits! Puresound Snare Wires: Professional quality wires that work beautifully with our block snare drums. Tube Lugs: Classy, timeless tried and tested lugs. Die cast hoops: Provide extreme focus and volume. Drum Heads: Batter side: Remo coated ambassador. Resonant side: Remo diplomat hazy snare side. Badge and Signed Shell: In addition to the ‘Entity’ badge, the date of manufacture, serial number and Salvador Morales’ signature are included inside every Entity shell. Finish: Entity drums are sealed and finished with a unique hand rubbed oil and wax recipe. Sonically, this ensures your drums' voice stays as open and natural as possible. Visually, it appears as a soft matt finish that further enhances the timbers’ true beauty. Have a question? We would love to hear it! Please get in touch via the contact page.
