Black Swamp 30 years !!

Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Black Swamp Percussion with a snare drum that combines artistry and craftsmanship in every detail. The heart of this limited editionsnare drum is a 5” x 14” ply-Jarrah shell wrapped in a stunning Sottsass design veneer,crafted by Evetts Drums. Jarrah is an exotic hardwood native to Australia, with aninherent clear, crisp response and exceptional projection.Distinct black nickel straight hoops and chrome claws secure a kangaroo hide head,hand-made by Kentville Drums in Australia. Kangaroo heads play with a naturalwarmth, feel and body, complimenting the articulation of the Jarrah shell andspeaking with a balanced, musical voice.Details like the matte black Multisonic strainer, black nickel air vent, and engravedanniversary badge complete this drum’s sophisticated look, culminating in a 30thAnniversary snare drum that both displays and performs like a work of art.

The 10” SoundArt tambourine was one of Black Swamp Percussion’s first instruments, reinventing the standard for orchestral tambourines. The 30th Anniversary tambourine serves as a modern interpretation of the classic design and unmatched performance of this premier instrument.

The toasted jingles are heat-treated German Silver, which fuses texture and articulation with the bright and wet characteristic of a standard jingle material. A new voice emerges from a timeless sonority. Unique engraving matches the Sottsass veneer of the 30th Anniversary snare drum, adding a dimension of artistry to the jingle.

Our solid ash shell has been the core of a SoundArt tambourine for 30 years. This limited edition run of tambourines features a contemporary matte white finish over the enduring Ash shell, serving as a canvas for the toasted German Silver jingles and producing a striking impression on stage.

A traditional calf head completes the instrument. Why mess with the success of 30 years?

Each tambourine also ships with an exclusive commemorative token, a final touch marking 30 years of World Class manufacturing from Black Swamp Percussion.
