This tasty 100% birch shell, handcrafted with Brownie birch reinforcement rings, has proven to be a favorite and one of our top selling products. Birch's tonal qualities are an ideal choice for creating versatile and projecting snare drums for a wide variety of genres and applications. Birch's pronounced high and mid frequencies generate bright attack and crystal clear notes. With the added clarity, each subtle ghost note and touch of the drum head is crystal clear. Unwanted overtones and latent harmonics are of no concern with this snare model's quick decay and fundamental crack of the whip. Producing loads of volume with minimal effort, the Birch Brownie Classic is the perfect snare for live performances and daily work-horse to include in your arsenal.

Brownie Snare Drum Standards

Brownie Drum Co. snare drums are baked with all of the delicious characteristics one expects from a great sounding and playing snare. Each Brownie snare is designed to be highly sensitive, articulate, pronounced and dynamic. Although certain models highlight particular attributes, all Brownie snares are made with special ingredients that keep you wanting more.

Each snare is designed with a specific formula of wood species, shell thickness and Brownie signature reinforcing rings that produce magical tonality and playability. Perfectly contoured bearing edges and proprietary snare bed design are two key features that distinguish Brownie snare drums from all others. Exceptional sound quality in combination with our mouth-watering finishes makes owning a Brownie snare an absolute necessity. 

All Brownie snare models come standard with:

  • Evans Hazy300 resonant head
  • Evans Power Center Reverse Dot batter head
  • Trick multi-position throwoff
  • PureSound Custom snare wires
  • Premium diecast lugs. 

Metal Flake

Our exclusive metal flake finishes created at Brownie Drum Company are absolutely like no other. This proprietary process of combining real metal flake with epoxy resin produces a result with incredible luster and superior durability. These dazzling finishes dance and flow as if they are alive! We use an industry standard 2-part coating resin that is extremely durable and crystal clear. The resin cures with a strength that makes our metal flake finishes the most durable and impact resistant drum finish on the market. All of the great Brownie tonal qualities are preserved due to the resin's elasticity and elongation properties. Our metal flake finishes breath and flex with each hit of the drum, and will never crack and become brittle over time. Brownie metal flake finishes are 'forever finishes.'

Developed over a 5 year process and using metal flake sourced from North Dakota, we were able to encapsulate flake with epoxy resin to create a fabulously dynamic drum finish. Each flake color choice or combination of colors have a 'retro' feel that are both captivating and elegant. 
If your goal is to shimmer and shine on stage and to turn heads, then Brownie Drum Co. metal flake finishes have heads on a swivel. 

Wood Dye

natural wood dye drum finishHigh quality liquid and powder wood dye concentrates are used to create just about any wood color imaginable. Whether light browns and olive greens to bolder dark walnut and ebony, each dye color ultimately delivers a classy and timeless finished product. Unlike common wood stains, these metallized acid dyes penetrate deep into the wood fibers and cells; revealing all of the wood's natural characteristics, grain pattern and dimensions. Our wood dye finishes are clear-coated with high gloss polyurethane until a perfectly smooth and incredibly reflective finish is achieved. Although polyurethane is not as scratch and impact resistant when compared to epoxy, polyurethane is a very durable and long lasting protective finish for drum shells.

Oil & Wax

Let the natural beauty of your premium wood shells shine with our oil and wax finish. We use several penetrating oils, such as orange oil and tung oil, to absorb deep within the wood's grain. Beeswax and carnauba waxes are then buffed onto the surface to shield the wood from the elements. This process conditions and protects the shells from drying out, deteriorating and mold/mildew prevention. Our oil and wax finishes have a rustic and natural matte to satin appearance, and is a wonderful choice for those wanting an organic and classic look.
