The shell design on the Big Softy is something truly special. The core is made from kiln-dried Ochroma. This is a light yet highly resilient wood which features a micro-pore grain structure. These micro-porous grains actively filter out higher frequencies, giving you a deep array of tonal possibilities that can be achieved through your own tuning.
With the Big Softy you can also achieve greater head tension for effortless, responsive rebound. You can achieve warmer and funkier sounds without the need to detune. Every stroke is articulated with crisp precision and tone; no energy is wasted while you are playing the British Drum Co. Big Softy.
The British Drum Co. Big Softy 14'' x 6.5'' Snare Drum achieves its unique sound through its carefully considered design aspects. The shell is cold-pressed which means it is moulded without the use of heat. The lack of a heating process means you get the best possible sound from the drum, as its sonic qualities are not altered. This takes longer, but it's worth it for the far superior tone it provides.
The British Drum Co. worked long and hard on the development of Palladium hardware. Inspired by the Art Deco period of art and design with its unique geometric patterns, both the sound and appearance were a careful consideration in its design. The chrome plated steel design ensures your snare drum is practical, sounds incredible and looks beautiful.
