Productive Wood Drum Shell Manufacturing and Testing
All of our drum shells are manufactured from hand picked quality poplar wood panels. The wood mill cuts and delivers to our factory proper sizes for our shells by a computer-controlled saw. After the gluing, rolling, drying, and sanding process, the drum shells are checked for a level check, and measured for accuracy at a 15% sample rate. Next, the laminate wrap is applied, and holes are drilled into the shell for hardware, and sands down the edges of the shell for snare beds. Next, all hardware, drum heads, and snare wires are assembled to the drum shells. Finally, before packaging and shipping to our warehouse distribution location, our quality control technician visually inspects all the drums, and does a performance sound test with a 5% sample rate. Once the testing and inspections passes our standards, the finished production ships direct to our loading dock, where our sound technicians perform yet another & final sound test before we enter the inventory as ready to be fulfilled.
We Take Sound Testing Serious.
Our instruments and studio equipment are sound tested by our hired sound technician. We focus on being competitive by offering affordability, all while not sacrificing quality of sound. Since most everyone at our brand has an extensive musical background, we are very rigorous in the sound testing process of equipment. Additionally, it allows us to act quickly and communicate efficiently with our factories production manager on when we see a need for improvement. Before and after each batch run from the factory, our instruments are tested to confirm the quality, pitch and sound specs remain consistent from our previous production orders.

INSTALLED SNARE BEDS FOR YOUR SNARE DRUM SNARES
Snare beds are now carved in the drum shell for a tighter snare sound. Curved depressions are cut opposite each other into the bottom bearing edge of the drum, parallel to the snare throw off / snare strainer and butt plate. The installed snare beds are very popular with drummers as many drummers like a reduction of snare buzz and rattle. This makes all the snares rest flush alongside the bottom of the drum head.

I got this to add some acoustic elements to my drum machine beats. Not a drummer. I saw some videos on how tune a snare, tuned it tight, put some gaffer tape on it to mute it a bit, and I was set! Great for practicing. I practice with both brushes and drum sticks. I also think it sounds good, but I'm no expert. Just a fun thing to have to bang on throughout the day.

This snare drum is amazing! It has good drum heads so if you're low on cash you won't need to replace them immediately. It has good hardware other than the tension rod washers. It's great for kids and adults!If you're looking for a cheap but good snare buy this Griffin Piccolo.

Better then expected. Didn't even had to tune it. Verified with a tune bot and it was perfectly tuned. Started to play out of the box. Great quality and it looks great.

You don’t always have to spend a fortune on percussion! This was a very inexpensive piccolo snare, and was my sons favorite Christmas present. He is a percussion name brand snob to boot! So I was very surprised that he loved this so much!

I’ve been a percussionist for 30 years (not professional). This drum is cheap, and it shows. But for the price, it works well, and would serve anyone well as a beginner’s first snare, a practice drum, or a backup. I purchased it to be part of a portable suitcase drum kit for camp and small spaces. It is perfect for my needs.Even beginners will want to change the heads and lube the tension rods before any real playing. Other than that, not bad for $38.

Great project snare if you want to replace everything but the shell and rims. I'm still having trouble finding a new throw off that will fit. With what's existing and just replacing heads it still sounds nothing like a typical piccolo the snare just won't tighten enough. Keep in consideration this is a cheap snare. I really only bought it because my last name is Griffin and thought it would be cool to have a Griffin snare hahaha
