Taking inspiration from the stylishly sleek, streamlined looks of aviation's history, British Drum Co have designed their Aviator snare to have a cool, understated aesthetic.

The aluminium shell features a subtle inverted central bead which, in addition to creating a stunning shadow line around the drum, helps to create the controlled tone of the snare.

Adding the level of attention to detail we've come to expect from the British Drum Company, the Aviator snare is fitted with a B badge that has a cherry veneer insert to add a hint of warmth to the otherwise metallic look of the shell.

The air vent also features a stylish Aviation flight wings badge design to give a clear nod to the aircraft inspired aesthetic.
