Snare Drum Servicing
We offer two levels of snare drum servicing, starting from £30
Basic "MOT" (£30)
(Can be done while you wait)
The basic snare drum MOT involves a shell clean and tune up, getting rid of rattles and overtones as far as possible.
New heads/wires can be fitted at extra cost - please ask for a quote
"MOT" includes:
-
a basic clean of shell and external hardware, whilst still in situ on the drum
-
bearing edge clean
-
a full tune up with existing heads and wires (or the heads and/or wires of your choice - charged separately or supplied by you).
Full Service (£55)
The full snare drum service involves a strip-down clean followed by tune-up, getting rid of rattles and overtones as far as possible.
New heads/wires can be fitted at extra cost - please ask for a quote
Full service includes:
-
disassembly of all components and full strip-down of individual components such as lugs and inserts
-
all metal work will be polished and where possible corrosion and rust spots removed and treated
-
moving parts will be cleaned and re-lubricated
-
chrome work where possible will be cleaned and polished
-
unless bespoke, all parts covered and fitted
-
drum will be reassembled and re-tuned with existing heads and wires (or the heads and/or wires of your choice - charged separately or supplied by you).
-
a range of basic modifications can also be requested.
Please note that especially heavy rusting will incur a £25 surcharge due to the extra work and materials involved.
I will give a full quote before starting any work.
I can supply and fit Code, Evans or Remo heads/snare wires if required when servicing your snare drum.
Code snare drum heads start from £15.49 for a 14" batter head (DNA coated).
Please ask for a quote for Evans or Remo heads.
