The series

Custom snare drums

Four series, 27 instruments already built. Every NFM snare drum is made to order: what you see is where yours starts from.

Constructive perfection at the service of sound: shell and hoops turned, cast bronze hoops, the whole NFM hardware line.

Impeccable finishes, the whole NFM hardware range, materials and sizes chosen with the musician.

Shells obtained from old milk cans: cast, without welding. Each instrument is unique and unrepeatable.

All the advantages of a handcrafted instrument with simple, functional hardware. Refined and sober finishes.
