Verdict

MusicRadar rating: 3.5 of 5

Pros

This is a beautiful snare drum. Lovingly made with superb sounds.

Cons

It's hugely expensive and is in very short supply.

The bottom line

As birthday presents go, this drum is certainly on the generous side. Years of expertise and discernment have gone into the design and it delivers the goods when hit. However, can any drum, no matter how good, be worth this kind of sum? Despite its astronomical price, the limited number of drums available means that they will be snapped up by drummers eager to own a piece of history.
