The best snare drums in the world today

Metal, wood and synthetic, from budget to custom-built

Tom Porter and Rhythm Magazine

MusicRadar’s verdict:

Keith Keough uses a variety of construction methods - including ply, segmented, stave, steam-bent, vented and one-piece solid - to produce a beautiful range of custom drums. The segmented construction is unbelievably strong and drums can be made in a variety of exotic hardwoods, such as padauk, purpleheart or rosewood.
