I can hear the power from here! Walnut is so beautiful as well.

Ah man, after getting the pleasure of meeting, and even playing a bunch of the Doc's drums....I can attest these are absolute beaats and beautiful.

If I could afford this, I'd absolutely buy it.

Also, if you ever get a chance, try their stave kit. They make the bass drums in 20", 22", and Im fairly certain up to 24". I know someone that has the 20"...it legit sounds deeper than my friends 26" Gretsch bass drum... I'm dying to hear what the 22" and 24" sound like

I totally agree: Doc Sweeney drums are fantastic. I have a 20/12/14 set of steam bent birdseye maple, and they look and sound incredible. I would like to check out their stave sets some day.

Man, I'd love to hear that thing. I wonder how different it is from my N&C SS Maple in the same size.

That's gotta be one of the very nicest looking drums ever built. The drum shop I work at got a bunch of doc sweeny stuff in last year and I was super impressed by the build quality and attention to detail, and the overall unique vibe of the drums. A very far cry from the average run of the mill "custom" builder. Not cheap stuff, but seems like you get what you pay for. Good deal here.

Thanks Kevin! I totally agree with your assessment about build quality and attention to detail. Doc Sweeney drums are top shelf.

Timing is everything, if I just hadn’t pulled the trigger on another snare a few weeks back I’d be all over this. Have been looking for a solid walnut for some time...oh well.

I hear you - I could just as happily keep it in the fold, as it is a rather unique piece. As several on DFO have mentioned over the years, a Walnut steam bent shell make for a superb sounding snare.

If this happens to be around in January, it will be mine.

Come on, people...where can you find a solid, steam bent walnut drum that beautiful for $565? This is the perfect deal for someone who doesn't currently own any solid shell snare drums. You are in for quite an experience! This is downright cheap...someone jump on this!

 

[NewVintage]

This is a crazy good deal for a single ply snare drum and Doc Sweeney’s drums are among the best out there.
