The unmistakable character of aged metal, reimagined through the warmth and resonance of wood.
From Italian boutique drum maker VARUS comes the striking “Fake” Metal Snare, an exceptional marriage of unconventional aesthetics and thoughtful craftsmanship.
Dressed in a beautifully distressed Vintage Metal finish, this 14" x 7" snare captures the raw, industrial elegance of weathered steel while retaining the tonal character of its carefully constructed maple and beech hybrid shell. Rich copper, oxidized orange, and deep charcoal hues create a remarkably convincing aged-metal appearance, complemented by polished chrome hardware.
Beneath its distinctive exterior lies a 6-ply, 5.4mm maple and beech shell, combining maple's natural warmth and fullness with the focused attack and articulation associated with beech. The generous 7-inch depth provides a foundation for a commanding, full-bodied response, while the 45-degree bearing edges and oversized vertical air vents contribute to its distinctive design.
Chrome triple-flanged hoops complete the instrument, offering a familiar playing response and a clean visual contrast against the weathered finish.
