Dunnett Classic Drums

Ronn Dunnett IS known to many of us for his superb titanium snares and high-end throw-offs (like the new R4.0), but Dunnett also creates custom snares out of stainless steel, brass, bronze, copper, and, most recently, wood. Dunnett is the only drum manufacturer in the world who makes custom metal snares and drum sets. And yes, those include breathtakingly beautiful cocktail drums.

Since everything is custom made, you’d start with a cocktail drum constructed from titanium or stainless steel and add whatever additional drums or hardware you’d like à la carte. Dunnett mounts a 14" snare drum via a small carrier directly above the bass drum, resulting in a very compact vertical setup. One advantage of this is that you can remove the snare to use with a more standard drum kit. Cymbals and accessories can be added via brackets on the cocktail drum. This gorgeous 14" x 22" titanium bass drum/floor tom with wood hoops, extra-long tube lugs, and space-age legs would cost you about $2,000, which seems reasonable considering these unique drums do double duty as works of art as well as great musical instruments.
