British Drum Co Talisman British Steel Snare Drum

Talisman is the steel drum in the Nicko McBrain pair, seamlessly spun in the UK from British Steel at 2 mm. The ridges running across the outer surface are left from the spinning, so the finish is different on every single drum. It is understated to look at and not remotely understated to play.

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 6.5 in.
