A sheer joy in the studio, block shells differ sonically from ply shells in that a block shell has a very quick decay and a thicker tone; therefore sound engineers no longer need to use noise gates or heavy reverb plates to enhance natural tones. Renowned for their thick, throaty, woody bark, Brady block shell snare drums thrill, seduce and surprise.

This Brady snare is complete with Brady's signature snare strands and the Trick Drums' Aluminum Snare Throw-off (GS007). 

GS007 Trick Aluminum Snare Throw-off: Cam operated, helical groove design Close-tolerance CNC machined components Special synthetic lubricant for fluid movement Elevated body increases resonance manufactured from billet aluminum, and stainless, hardened steel.

The Brady snare wires are custom built using a high quality special tempered German wire. The head-plate has individual wire channels for an even contact and the ability to accommodate straps or strings for mounting. 

Brady is the only company to handcraft their drums from the tree to the finished product. From selecting the tree to all aspects of cutting and drying the timbers, they are 100% self-sufficient in the manufacturing processes.
