Our currently featured Exotic timber "Tasmanian Blackwood" is unusually soft for Australian standards. Its character is much different than the usually harsh sound of the desert timbers, in the way that it produces an extremely warm and full bodied "vintage" sound. We chose to add it to our range as it is a new character for our family of block drums.

Brady’s international reputation for exceptional snare drums has been achieved predominantly through the introduction of our Block Shell Snare Drums in 1982. We are the only company to handcraft our drums from the tree to the finished product. From select-ing the tree to all aspects of cutting and drying our timbers, we are 100% self-sufficient in our manufacturing techniques.

Block shells have a different sound from a ply shell in that a block shell has a very quick decay and thicker tone. Sound engineers no longer need to use noise gates or heavy reverb to enhance natural tones. Accordingly Brady Block Snares have been the secret weapon behind countless sessions & live performances over the past two decades.
