That is a gorgeous snare! Congratulations.
My new Rukus Custom Snare!
I've been dreaming of this for months now, and after agonizing over the specs, I finally pulled the trigger on a custom snare from Rukus Drums. It is a 6.5 x 13 bubinga/poplar/wenge shell with an outer ply of santos and re-rings. Finished with danish oil/satin clear coat. Black nickel hardware with an INDe throw. Sounds as amazing as it looks, although my crappy phone camera doesn't do it justice.

Re: My new Rukus Custom Snare!
Zack, if you're ever in the market for a new snare (duh, who am I talking to?), you should seriously consider a Rukus. Pete will build you any combination of size, wood species, finish and hardware you want, and the results are outstanding!Originally Posted by SpazApproved

Re: My new Rukus Custom Snare!
I'm always in for a custom build!
Believe it or not I've been seriously considering selling off a bunch of my standard snares so I can focus on all custom snares lol

Re: My new Rukus Custom Snare!
If I bought one of those, it’d be like having a $1000 tie for my $200 suit!
Congrats on that gorgeous snare drum!
Re: My new Rukus Custom Snare!
Thanks! It did cost more than a few of my kits, but I figured, life is short, if I can have a snare made that's like no other, and my wife is OK with it, why not?
