VIDEO - Product Close-Up: Masters of Maple Black Ugly Snare Drum (From the March 2014 Issue) buff.ly/1hZcD6h Original post: buff.ly/1hZcDmz Founded by Southern California--based drum tech/builder Sahir Hanif in 2002, Masters of Maple began as a custom company that manufactured its own ply shells, with a special emphasis on exotic timbers. These days the company also offers a range of metal-shell drums, including the 6.5x14 vintage-inspired nickel-over-brass Black Ugly. Masters of Maples take on the highly coveted nickel-over-brass shell begins with a rolled 1.2 mm sheet of high-grade German brass thats brazed for optimal stability. The shell is then torched to ugly it up and create a one-of-a-kind patina finish. The Black Ugly comes standard with 2.5 mm brass triple-flange hoops and is offered with eight or ten lugs. Trick Multi-Step throw-offs and twenty-strand snappy snares are standard. The edges are folded over to 45 degrees. The street price is $850.
