Here we have the famous Brady 12 x 7 Jarrah Block snare drum
Brady's enviable reputation is based on the use of Australasian desert hardwoods which are harder than the familiar maple and birch of western drums. Block drums have a different sound from a ply drum in that a block drum has a very quick decay and thicker tone. The block snares are twice the thickness of the Brady ply snares.
The Jarrah block drums put Brady on the map in the early 90’s this drum with the original Gold Square badge and original Gladstone type snare throw off will date somewhere between 1990 and 1992 making this almost vintage.
