Snare drums

The new American Percussion wood snare drum shells are produced from a special kind of plywood .  Pictured are two Colorwood shells 14"x 5.50", This type of wood construction is unique because you can literally have any amount of colored plys in any order of color.  For instance:  3 plys of red, 4 plys of natural, 2 plys of green, 2 plys of dark brown and 2 plys of yellow.  As long as we don't exceed 12 or 13 plys.  Pretty cool!  It brings a whole new meaning to the word custom colors.  Other types of woods available are sapelle,  jequitiba and okoume, which are various shades of brown.  The shells are priced according to each custom order.
