OCC Snare Drum

The 14" x 6" OCC Snare Drum is a replica of the one featured on the American Chopper TV show. The drum is finished with graphics inspired by a bike built for The OCC Band on the show. The snare boasts a flat-black powder-coated finish, red powder-coated hardware, laser-machined skull vents, a GS007 throw-off, and pin striping hand-done by hot rod pin striping legend Jim Brando.

The Trick OCC snare has a numbered badge and was personally signed by the president and founder of Trick Drums, Mike Dorfman.

Known for its sonically superior machined aluminum creations, Trick drums is considered a leader in artistic graphic design for percussion instruments, specializing in high-end powdercoating and cutting-edge art.

A custom drum kit built by Trick Drums for the OCC Band was featured on the popular television show about Orange County Choppers, a New York-based motorcycle company that specializes in custom motorcycle design and graphics.

Trick snare drums
Manufactured from the same AL13 shell as Trick's drum sets, Trick snare drums feature lathe-cut bearing edges, solid machined-aluminum tuning lugs, and precision snare beds. Trick snare drums provide the player with amazing sensitivity, projection and cutting power. With simple head changes, the Trick OCC snares will cover every type of musical situation. Trick's snare attachment cable is made from aircraft grade, interwoven stainless steel cable, which is sealed in nylon.

Trick's AL13 alloy
Trick drums are manufactured using the AL13 resonant alloy. This material comes certified from the mill with a guarantee that every Trick drum shell has a 1/8"-thickness. AL13”combined with Trick's manufacturing process”provides pureness of tone, resonance, durability, and performance. By taking this uniform approach, the shells separate tonally”in relation to their size increments”with no other variables, allowing Trick drum shells to tonally descend in a perfectly pitched separation.

The reason this doesn't apply to wooden shells is because they're manufactured from numerous plies, each of which can differ in hardness and moisture content. Most shells made from wood contain several plies held together with glue. That process has a negative effect on any drum shell's ability to resonate a clear and true tone.

Trick drums feature double-45 lathe-cut bearing, which allows for superior attack, sensitivity, and faster tuning.
