A snare drum at this level of quality and this price point not made in Asia is simply amazing. This could be ANYONE's primary snare. We visited Portsmouth for a few days this week and I was able to make it into the store twice, once alone and once with my wife and daughter. I was beyond impressed with British Drums and when my wife was with me the second time, they were the only ones that got her attention. She thought their finishes were stunning. Intro on this video was hysterical guys!

These guys are the best! I love their humour and commitment to excellence.

Came for the demos, stayed for mixes, then came a second time for the highly entertaining stupidity. Bravo all around.

[kevinremsen]

A+ for the intro. I'll be ordering one. I'll admit I overlooked this snare but I'm glad this video showed how sweet a drum it is... regardless of price!

[CornerStoreDrums]

AMAZING! The production value y’all put into these is simply incredible!! Much respect! 🤙🥁💯

[carlupthegrove]

You guys flat out OWN the music store video !! And you keep out doing 👍

[CaptainBlueSam]

Wowza! I've never liked Birch snares, but that one has changed my mind!

[rogerpye]

Great Video! Love the intro. The Snare sounds epic - nice tight & snappy sound. Love it too.

[anthonymedd]

When I first read the specs of the Raven when it was launched, I was astounded. As far as I could tell, it had all the things the rest of the range have, but it was about half the price. If this had been around last year when I bought my Big Softy, I'd have bought one of these instead. And I wouldn't have felt I'd compromised, I'd have been too busy just being pleased I owned a BDC drum and counting the money I'd saved.
By the way. I pissed myself laughing at the intro. Great work fellas 👍😂

[Juniscrazy]

The theatrics lol your videos are always on point lol

[gary]

You’re getting good, I love the intro

[iorijones]

Love the video intro - more please 🤣
I own this drum - and it’s fantastic and have had good comments from the band and others. Fantastic snare at this price.
I only live 40 miles from the factory in Stockport near Manchester- so have to support them.
One of the first gigs I ever played in was in a pub called ‘The Raven’ (in Flint, North Wales) so it was another reason to give to my wife when I bought it.
Thanks again guys 😀🥁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥁👍🏼

[Cspags]

I love this drum and the company and i love this guys playing

[petermasalsky]

Pretty darned nice. And good job on the video, guys.

Love your videos and sense of humour, guys! Yes, the British Drum Company do make beautiful drums, with great attention to detail, they have kind of set a standard for others to follow. Even though I prefer metal snares, I have a 14" x 6.5" Big Softy, which is a lovely drum. It came with Remo (USA made) heads, which was a plus, and the drum itself is a cracker. Look forward to your next instalment.
