British Drum Company Aviator 14 x 6.5 Snare Drum

This stylish, elegant snare drum delivers a dry, controlled sound with a sensitive response over a wide dynamic range. Aviator inspires you to articulate your sticking from graceful ghost notes to a full-throated roaring backbeat. This drum offers you the full range of crisp, clean sounds to suit all types of playing.

Crafted from a seamless 1.2mm solid aluminium shell, Aviator looks stunning with its sophisticated anodised surface, beautifully complemented by our stylish Palladium hardware. The cool, understated aesthetic of Aviator is highlighted by the subtle inverted central bead, presenting a stunning shadow line around the shell. The cosmetic appeal of Aviator is delicately enhanced by an element of warmth courtesy of the Cherry veneer insert integrated within the iconic British Drum Co. badge. Aviator is, in every sense, a classically beautiful snare drum.

All British Drum Co. lugs contain ThreadGrip technology. The plastic retainer inside the lug that normally holds the ferrule nut in place has been deliberately under-sized, allowing the tension rod to bite into the plastic and provide a tighter grip in the lug. The result is a drum that will hold the drum skin under tension far more reliably for longer periods of time, making your drums sound amazing all the time!
