British Drum Co. Bluebird 14” x 6” Snare Drum

A classic in every sense, Bluebird’s 14" x 6" chrome over brass shell forms a foundation to the resonant character of this drum, with a stylish double bead to focus the sound.

At the heart of your kit, you need a snare drum you can depend on, an instrument that responds to every nuance of your playing, whatever your style. The Bluebird is the snare drum that sings, from a whisper to a scream, giving you the freedom to express your music the way you intended. From the acoustic demands of a club gig to the amplified roar of the concert stage, the Bluebird will always respond to your playing style.

A classic in every sense, the Bluebird’s 14" x 6" chrome-over-brass shell forms the foundation of its resonant character, with a stylish double bead to focus the sound. The art-deco inspired Palladium hardware is elegance defined, designed to optimize the connection between the shell and the heads, creating a snare sound that is inherently more musical than metallic.

The exacting build quality of the Bluebird delivers superb sensitivity across the entire surface of the batter head, ensuring precise and crisp sticking, deep and defined rimshots, and tight, cutting side-sticking. This level of sensitivity shines when played to extremes, delicate brushwork is rich and expressive, while hard playing reveals the drum’s confidence.

Clear, defined, and articulate rolls cut through at every level. This drum responds easily to every demand you make, no need to labor your playing, as the Bluebird cuts through effortlessly.

All British Drum Co. lugs feature ThreadGrip technology. The plastic retainer inside the lug, which normally holds the ferrule nut in place, has been deliberately undersized, allowing the tension rod to bite into the plastic and provide a tighter grip in the lug. The result is a drum that holds the drum skin under tension far more reliably for longer periods, ensuring your drums sound amazing all the time.

All British Drum Co. drums feature bespoke laser-engraved acrylic interior plates.
