Natal start the new year entering the world of acoustic drums, and they've done a sterling job.

First stop: snares.

Snares include: US Ash, Maple and Bubinga as well as a range of steel snares. All snares include a three-position throw-off (see video below) and Natal Custom snare wires and copper-plated mounting plates.

I'm MusicRadar's eCommerce Editor. In addition to testing the latest music gear, with a particular focus on electronic drums, it's my job to manage the 300+ buyer's guides on MusicRadar and help musicians find the right gear for them at the best prices. I dabble with guitar, but my main instrument is the drums, which I have been playing for 24 years. I've been a part of the music gear industry for 20 years, including 7 years as Editor of the UK's best-selling drum magazine Rhythm, and 5 years as a freelance music writer, during which time I worked with the world's biggest instrument brands including Roland, Boss, Laney and Natal.
