Dresdner Apparatebau Snare Drums
In the Royal Concertgebouw we play on many beautiful old instruments. Our vintage snare drum collection is one of the treasures we are very proud of. The most important drums that give our orchestra that personal sound, are the Dresdners.

At the moment I have 2 Dresdners in my collection. These instruments are of outstanding quality and has the awsome powerful and deep sound that gives it its famous reputation in the orchestral world.
All drums are made with a seamless brass kettle and string snares.
