Chaos Elite Custom Snare Drum American Maple Re-Ring & Mappa Burl

American Maple Clarity • Reinforcement Ring Precision • Mappa Burl Prestige

American Maple forms the foundation of the shell, delivering exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic sensitivity. Built around an ultra-thin 5-ply American Maple shell, the design produces a lower natural shell frequency with effortless resonance and outstanding articulation. Mappa Burl reinforcement rings strengthen the bearing edges, allowing the shell to remain exceptionally thin while sharpening note definition, improving tuning stability, and enhancing projection. The result is a snare drum that combines vintage-inspired openness with modern boutique precision, offering remarkable sensitivity, crisp attack, and exceptional dynamic control.

The finish is executed to an uncompromising standard, with premium Mappa Burl veneers meticulously selected and laid to showcase their distinctive swirling figure and natural depth. Each shell receives multiple coats of high-gloss lacquer before being carefully polished to a flawless mirror finish. The rich grain movement and intricate burl patterns remain clearly visible beneath the deep gloss, creating remarkable dimensionality while preserving the wood's natural beauty. Every snare possesses its own unique character, ensuring no two drums are ever exactly alike.

Customised in Melbourne, Australia, with your choice of hardware in Chrome, Black Nickel, or Gold. Complete your build with either Triple Flange or Die-Cast hoops, allowing every snare to be tailored to your exact sound, feel, and playing style.
