Joyful Noise TKO Bronze Snare Drum 14x6.5 Tailpipe Patina

The TKO/ Bronze

The JNDC TKO Bronze is a hand-selected seamless bronze shell chosen for its extraordinary vibrance and pronounced upper register. As a result, these drums speak with exceptional ease and produce an extremely wide range of color, delivering an explosive presence that is literally felt, as well as heard. Once the shell is hand-selected, the bearing edges and snare beds are finished by hand in order to refine and optimize the sonic performance. The shell is bright polished in preparation of the patina process, rendering an unrestricted finish that resembles a scorching hot tailpipe, and heat-sealed with 100% Carnauba wax.

The TKO Bronze is explosive, sensitive, and full of color, both visually and sonically. As a result of the higher copper content in the TKO Bronze, the shell has a more defined middle and lower register, as well as greater focus and articulation. These attributes enable crisper ghost notes and ruffs, while still providing the musical color the brass shell version embodies. The TKO Bronze model design and hardware consist of 2.5mm solid brass bright nickel-plated triple flanged hoops, ten solid brass bright nickel-plated Corder tube lugs, bell-flanged bearing edges, vintage-inspired crimped snare beds, 24k gold-plated brass JNDC feather motif drum badge, and the bright nickel-plated proprietary cast bronze JNDC “One Touch Classic” snare drum strainer (throw-off) system.

A certificate of authenticity, serialized lapel badge, JNDC Strainer Tutorial DVD, and a complimentary embroidered soft shell case accompany each instrument. The JNDC TKO is available in 6.5x14, 5x14, and 4x14 sizes.
