The History of the John's Signature Snare Drum

In early 2016, John tried out several Hendrix snares and fell in love with the bright resonant tone, piercing attack, and sensitivity of their African Padauk snare drum. He went with a 14 x 6 size combined with the 1/4" thin stave shell wall, which gave John's drum optimum performance at any tuning, so much so, that he used two of them for every gig; one cranked up for his main snare and the other was tuned low as his side snare. Hendrix collaborated with John to produce a limited run of Signature snare drums, making only 30 of them in total. They became available in the summer of 2016 and sold out quite quickly. This drum is new stock and one of the original 30 made.

In 2018 Hendrix released another 30 drums in honour of John's life and drumming legacy, each of these drums featured a commemorative badge, showing the year of John's birth and the year of his untimely passing. With only 30 of the original drum and 30 of the commemorative edition available this is an extremely rare and special drum made for an extremely special drummer.
