Handcrafted in Britain, the British Drum Co. Merlin 14” x 6.5” Snare Drum blends classic Art-Deco design with modern performance. Its 20-ply hybrid maple and birch shell delivers a powerful mix of warmth, clarity, and projection, while remaining highly responsive across a wide tuning range.
Finished in a black tulip veneer with an inlaid double maple pinstripe, the Merlin features premium Palladium hardware throughout. The Palladium snare strainer offers smooth, reliable operation, and the chrome-plated Palladium lugs with ThreadGrip technology ensure rock-solid tuning stability.
With its deeper 6.5” shell, the Merlin provides added body and low-end punch, making it equally at home tuned low for rich, controlled groove work or cranked higher for crisp articulation and cut.
