Snare drums

Precision in every strike
At the core of every Natal snare drum is a dedication to quality and precision. Designed in the UK and crafted with expert care, our snares deliver cutting attack, deep sensitivity, and punchy articulation—perfect for stage or studio. Bringing traditional craftsmanship into the modern day, each snare is engineered from premium materials for unmatched durability and performance. Whether you're locking in a solid backbeat or exploring ghost notes, Natal snares respond with clarity and character, empowering drummers of all levels to own every beat. Wherever your rhythm takes you, Natal snares are built to inspire and are the perfect balance of tone, playability and performance.

Hand hammered snare
Indulge in dark, shimmering tones. Hand-hammered for added depth, this 1mm steel snare delivers richer, darker tones than its non-hammered counterparts while maintaining solid sustain. Chrome-plated Tru-Tune tension rods ensure precise tuning, while the Tri-Throw snare mechanism offers versatility. Perfect for drummers of all levels.


Beaded/hammered snare
Cut through the chaos with the beaded/hammered steel snare, ideal for a range of genres and playing styles. Its steel shell offers high-end projection and plenty of attacks so your sound really stands out, and the hammered section adds depth and dryness to your tone. Like most of our snares, it features chrome-plated hardware fittings, including Tru-Tune tension rods for pitch-perfect tuning and a Tri-Throw snare mechanism for more sonic variety.

Café Racer snare
Hit the stage with the Café Racer snare drum. Designed to complement the Café Racer drum kit, this elm/birch snare delivers warm, resonant tone with balanced projection. Equipped with chrome Tru-Tune tension rods for precise tuning, it's the perfect snare drum for gigging drummers, built to perform on the road and in the studio.
