HAHAHA sorry I just love that you said bloke!
I only hear that in movies here
So you bought a 8" deep snare I assume.. not 8" wide?
Is it a 14" wide?
I bet it will sound so thick and rich!
Have just ordered one of these for my 8" Pearl Free Floating snare drum which currently has a maple shell which I am not too chuffed with.
Anyone out there have any experience of these shells? I spoke to Alan at Tee Drums who's a lovely bloke & he said it will fulfil my needs.
Looking forward to it arriving in a couple of weeks or so

Do you know how many ply it is? I have a couple maple snares. All sound different depending on how many ply it is.
Oh, I have no idea I'm afraid. Only sounds nice when cranked up. I also have the Brass 8" Free floater which is amazing but I only use this for the heavier music I play. Maple is quite soft & it does tend to ring quite a lot. The Bubinga/Birch is a lot harder so should make for a more controlled sound???
Bloke in U.K., Mate in Australia, Dude, Bro in the U.S and Man in Canada lol
I use a Pearl MCX 6.5 x 14 7ply Maple and love it. So I am sure you will love your 8x14 FF.
Any pics of said snare drum?
Coming on nicely

Pic of the snare it will be fitted to -
That is going to be gorgeous!!!!!
Should put like 20 coats of lacquer on there...
Gone for the satin finish as recommended. Really looking forward to getting this shell now
Thinking about Alan doing an entire shell pack for me. Maple shells with Bubinga outer ply, 24", 13", 16", and snare. I can do the rest. That is one gorgeous shell. Good luck with it.
Really looking forward to it arriving now.
Alan is a top notch shell builder, you will not be disappointed.

At long last it should be arriving tomorrow.
New Tee Drums Bubinga/Birch Shell for my Pearl 8" Deep Free Floater. looks lovely. Nice matte finish as I didn't want the gloss. Shell is a lot thinner than the Pearl Maple shell. Fitted with a new Evans Level 360 reverse dot batter. Looking forward to giving it a bash tomorrow

Wow that's very nice. .I'm looking at a Pearl maple free floating piccolo. ..are these drums fairy loud due to the gap at the bottom? Sorry to hijack your thread but i can't find info on this
wow that looks 1000x better than the factory pearl shell. Great choice!!
That's absolutely stunning.
Mmm... Saturns.
OK... enlighten me,if it fits snugly,I can't figure the concept ,...
