Pork Pie

collapse expand iconDescription

Because Pork Pie Percussion is best known for challenging the status quo, this snare drum was designed with innovation and style unlike anything available in the acoustic drum market today.

This snare drum, like all other Pork Pie products is made with only the finest materials available today. This shell is 100% 6-ply birch, cross laminated for strength and tonal qualities. Pork Pie Percussion is known worldwide for hand cut, sanded and trued bearing edges and snare beds. This attention to detail give this snare drum amazing attack and sensitivity.

The painted finish on this snare drum is called Blue Fade Dip. This finish is applied over the Birch shell in a way that makes every shell one of a kind. No two are alike. Once you play this drum, the sound and unique look will make you feel that this snare was made for you by hand at Pork Pie.

    I bought this drum as my first wood snare. I love the deep warm tone. Bill makes a quality drum and every drummer should own at least one of his snares.

  • The BEST snare drum I have ever had....Hands down !!

    Not only is it BEAUTIFUL to look at, but it gives me that "deep" sound I was wanting. By using certain damper rings, I can get almost any tone that I want ! Luv it...Luv it...Luv it !!!

    If your getting this drum for the "Gold Rims" lol don't . They picture looked like it had gold hoops but they are silver. Apart from that the snare has a mid deep sound with stock heads by Remo. I am however buying Evans genera dry batter head and keeping the snare side head as is. Responsive and great overall tone. My church uses DW drum set and to be honest I kinda like this snare more than the DW. Keep in mind that this one is 14x7 and the one at church is 14x5.5

  • If you want something other than Maple...

    I have many Pork Pie Snares, Maple, Brass, Acrylic, Cherry/Bubinga, Birch/Bubinga-USA and overseas versions. All in all, Pork Pie makes quality products no matter where they come from. This Birch snare is one of their finest. Looks and quality are awesome along with ease of tuning and sound quality. If you want a great all around snare for many types of music this is it! and at a price that is way under what other companies would charge for this quality.
