Meet the Archer, a spectacular new snare drum from the British Drum Co. The Archer really is quite a special drum. Handcrafted entirely from English Yew, a rare and sumptuous hardwood that generates a rich, warm tone with fast attack. Traditionally, Yew was the preferred timber of the longbows favoured by medieval English archers. Its durable flexibility tempered with robust strength offered supreme power and reliability - qualities which we endeavoured to incorporate into the Archer. Handcrafted in the UK, the Archer is a 14โ x 6โ, 10-ply shell with 30ยบ round-over bearing edges, constructed using our unique cold press moulding process to create a shell with exceptional structural and tonal integrity. The Archer is a breathtaking drum with a variety of eye-catching features including vintage style mini-claws, gold-plated tension rods and a beautiful golden badge embellished with green sycamore in recognition of our English heritage. #britishdrumco #britishdrumcompany #britishdrums #snaredrums #drumlife #drummersofinstagram #drumphoto #drumphotography @britishdrumcoaus (at Mooloolaba Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC8InufBk0D/?igshid=1admtcnb8hp2j
