British Drum Co Aviator Aluminium Snare Drum

The Aviator is the first aluminium snare British Drum Co built, and the shell is the whole story: 1.2 mm of seamless spun aluminium with an anodised surface and a subtle inverted central bead that throws a shadow line right around the drum. It is loud, it is bright, and it cuts through without any help.

Every British Drum Co snare drum carries the same Palladium hardware: chrome-plated Art-Deco lugs with ThreadGrip tuning, the Palladium strainer, brass snare wires, and a laser-cut B badge that shows the shell finish through the negative space. Sizes offered here are 14 in x 5.5 in, 14 in x 6.5 in.
