Other snare drums include the Hand Hammered Bronze snare, Birdseye Maple snare, and the solid steel “Grey Ghost” snare drum among many others.
ddrum also produces deccabons, which are similar in concept to octobans, except that there are ten drums in a full set (hence “decca”) as opposed to eight (“octo”). All deccabons are six inches in diameter. They are available with shells made from either clear acrylic or black fiberglass. Drum depths range from 6 inches to 24 inches in 2-inch increments.
Supplies of DDrum kits outside the USA, particularly to the UK, are sparse with long wait times for customers who pre-order kits such as the 7-piece Diablo Death Punx.
Ddrum also makes two different styles of electronic drum triggers, the Pro Acoustic Trigger and more affordable Red Shot Trigger. They also make an electronic drum brain, dd1m.
