Here we have a an absolutely stunning Brady 14 x 6.5 Marri ply 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. The ply construction drums are about ¼" thick, without reinforcing rings, and are unlike anyone else's as they are not cross laminated. Instead, all the plies are laid horizontally, glued and bent in a dry mould. They are guaranteed to be perfectly round for life. Because all the plies run in the same direction and the glue welds the shell into a solid whole, the drums produce a sound quality very close to that of single-ply solid shell drums.
Marri ply was one of Brady's lesser known ply shells. These snares are slightly brighter than the Jarrah Ply shells which suits this snare really well. If you like a bit more brightness and bite, this could be a perfect choice!
