Solid Cherry Snare Drum featuring Coyer Drumworks Drum Lugs
Check out Garrett's spectacular cherry snare drum build using Coyer Drumworks 100% brushed aluminum and brass lugs. I enjoy the stories behind projects such as this. Garrett's father purchased this cherry shell with the intention of building it into a snare, but just never got around to it although he had applied red dye and shellac. He gave it to Garrett as a Christmas present so Garrett went to work on it by removing most all of the red dye and shellac. Eric contacted me about making some brass/aluminum lugs for him and I was happy to do so.
Here are some comments from Garrets:
“Thank you so much for such a well made and classic looking product to compliment all the hard work that was no doubt put into the manufacture of this solid shell and the fun I had building it. This snare sounds incredible but I think it might even look better. Thanks again, Ken!“
“I’m really glad I went with the brass tubes on the lugs. I think it’s a great and different look. Not unlike a Noble and Cooley SS.“

“The finished drum the way I envisioned it. I couldn’t be more happy with it!“ “Thanks again for your work on the lugs!“
