The combination of this perfectly blended mahogany and birch shell gives life to a vibrant, full-bodied tone which is aided by our rounded over 30 degree bearing edge. The kit is then beautifully finished with BDC's trademark mahogany and birch bass drum hoops, which are produced from the same mahogany and birch as both the Lounge and Legend Series drums.
Hand made in our Cheshire workshop by our team of skilled craftsmen.

Lounge Snare Drums
Lounge Series drums are formulated from a combination of 9 ply Mahogany and Scandinavian Birch which has been cross laminated and cold-press molded into a shell only 5.5mm thick. This results in super-strong, super-thin shells that produces a warm and complex tone. Like the Legend Series, these are precision hand-crafted drums and are incredibly versatile. The addition of Mahogany and 30 degree round-over bearing edges add a tremendous darker warmth and projection synonymous with the best vintage kits. These drums share the same wide tuning range to suit any musical situation producing low fat tones when tuned down and a brighter warmth when tuned up.

Icarus Snare Drum
What a stunning snare drum.
Nicko McBrain demands the very best. Working closely with the British Drum Co. team, Nicko’s non-compromise approach dictated that only the highest standards would make the grade for Icarus.
Nicko wouldn’t put his name to just any snare drum. Now you too can get your hands on Icarus, the wood shell snare drum that Nicko has always dreamed about.
Handbuilt in the UK using the British Drum Co.’s unique cold-press moulding process, Icarus is a 14” x 6.5” 10ply shell, crafted from Black Oak and finished in a spectacular Black Fishtail Oak veneer, creating a very special appearance reminiscent of a hand-hammered shell - but made from Oak! It really has to be seen to be appreciated.
Icarus sounds natural, deep and warm but with a bright presence under higher tension. Designed to powerfully cut through the high volume of rock and metal, Icarus responds equally well to softer, quieter playing, allowing the tonal qualities of the oak to shine through in any musical sitiation.
Nicko himself said, "Icarus is the wood shell snare drum I have dreamed about - it's my dream come true!"

When you need your snare drum to deliver deep, warm and mellow tones, your first choice has to be the Big Softy.
This drum is designed to do all the hard work so you don’t have to. Recognised and loved by professionals as their “go to” studio snare drum, Big Softy also performs magnificently onstage, from the intimacy of a club jazz gig to the bombast of a full-blown arena rock show.
Handcrafted using cherry inner and outer veneers, Big Softy’s 14” x 6.5” shell encircles a central core of kiln-dried Balsa. Yes - Balsa! Don’t be turned off by thoughts of model planes and crafting, Balsa is a seriously underrated wood and is perfectly suited to the Big Softy. This surprisingly light, open-density hardwood possesses a micro-pore grain structure which actively filters out higher frequencies, giving you a massive range of tonal possibilities. Big Softy is designed to enable higher batter head tension for a truly responsive rebound and still achieve bigger, warmer and funkier sounds without the need to detune. Absolutely at home in the studio, Big Softy is adored by drummers, producers and engineers.
Big Softy articulates every stroke so your playing is efficient and effortless whilst creating huge sounding backbeats.
Whether you want that classic “fatback” snare or a more contemporary complex tone, Big Softy is the drum for you.
