Tired of all the new drums being filled with tons of low end resonance, no matter what the size or application? Introducing the Blue Note drums, designed with Jazz music in mind, it can be used by anyone that is simply looking for a that classic melodic, dry tom sound, complimented by a washy bass drum and snare.

Specs

Snare drums: Blue note snares start with a thin 6-ply straight shell. We add a rounded bearing edge and a shallow snare bed, for that warm, washy sound. Triple flanged rims are standard, but a popular upgrade is the vintage-style single-flanged "clip-style" counter hoops.

Tom toms: 8-ply shells with 8 ply reinforcement rings provide a higher, more melodic tuning than the more contemporary thin shell. Medium round bearing edges and medium vent holes provide a classic dryness to the drum. Mounting brackets are placed directly on the shell. This gives the drum a more controlled resonance to compliment this classic type of drum. Snap your fingers if you dig it, man.

Bass drums: We start with a thin 6-ply drum with 5-ply reinforcement rings, rounder bearing edges, and standard vent holes for a darker, warmer, less direct sound.We suggest a smaller size (16"-18"-20") all sizes in the Blue Note family.
