Introducing one of our most visually striking and conversation-starting snares to date—the Big 'Caws,' named after the Welsh word for cheese. A must-have for any drummer seeking a powerful combination of massive attack and volume, complemented by a jaw-dropping high-gloss hand-painted finish.
Originally conceptualised to achieve an immense sound, this drum's design evolved through experimentation with added holes to the shell. Once the success of this approach became evident, the decision was made to transform it into a visually stunning block of cheese. With its distinctive yellow interior and whimsical mouse companion, this snare stands out as truly unique.

The Big 'Caws' delivers in a colossal way. Its bold and uncompromising sound makes it equally at home in both studio and live settings. This snare is the perfect addition to any drummer's arsenal, offering a blend of sonic impact and distinctive aesthetics that set it apart from the ordinary.
Indulge in the artisanal craftsmanship of our Big 'Caws' cheese snare. The 15-ply shell, cold-pressed and handcrafted, is exclusively fashioned from 100% Scandinavian Birch, cross-laminated to ensure maximum strength. Additional air vents contribute to a resounding 'crack' that quickly dissipates, while the birch maintains a warm and inviting tone.
Each cheese snare undergoes a personalized touch with a hand-painted finish, culminating in a high-gloss water-based lacquer. This bespoke process ensures that every drum is a unique work of art, with no two snares sharing the same finish.
Adorned with premium black nickel hardware, this snare is available in a 14x7 size with single-ended lugs or as a highly effective 12x5.5 side snare featuring double-ended lugs. Whether a focal point or an impactful addition, the Big 'Caws' promises both visual allure and a powerful sonic presence.
The Big Caws snare comes equipped with custom wooden washers engraved as a standard feature. The laser-engraved poplar wood washers add a distinctive and captivating touch to the interior, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Additionally, each snare is accompanied by our quality assurance sticker, symbolising our commitment to excellence and guaranteeing that our seal of approval is embedded in the crafting of every individual shell that leaves our workshop. These drums really are value for money!
