Here we have the ultimate offering from VK drums. The VKast B12 bronze snare is the bronze snare drum every drummer should have in their collection. The finished machined thickness is available in 4mm (around 10kg). Cast from the classic bell bronze alloy, B12 (12% tin, 88% copper) which is the best alloy for that classic bell bronze snare sound. This drum comes with the matching VKast hoops which are just jaw dropping!
The Van Kleef cast bronze shell has a unique sound that range from dry, crisp tones at low tuning, to subtle, articulate tones at a slightly higher tuning. The construction of these drums is another reason the drums sound so good.
This Van Kleef drum has found it's way into the hands of many drummers including Steve Gadd, Steve White, Thomas Lang, Matt Cameron, Dre Boyd, Craig Blundell, Sean Moore, Matt Chamberlain, to name only a few.
