Natal's snare drum range is built around a simple philosophy: every drum should have genuine character. The Arcadia Acrylic is the most visually striking option - a transparent acrylic shell available in 14"x5.5" and 14"x6.5" in Transparent, Red, and Orange - bright, projecting, and impossible to ignore on stage.

The Natal Café Racer steel snares bring a vintage-inspired aesthetic to a modern instrument - available in 13"x7" Beaded Steel, 13"x7" Hand Hammered, 14"x6.5" Gloss Inlay, and 14"x7" Beaded Steel. The deep 13"x7" and 14"x7" dimensions give these snares a powerful, full-bodied tone that is distinctive and immediately recognisable.

The Originals range covers three exotic wood options. The Originals Mappa Burl in Black Smoked Gloss is available in 13"x7" and 14"x7" - a deep, powerful, and visually stunning instrument using one of the most distinctive tonewoods available. The Originals Walnut delivers a warm, full tone in 14"x6.5" Natural, while the Originals Walnut/Maple hybrid adds maple's punch and projection to walnut's warmth in 14"x5.5" Black Burst Pewter Grain. The Natal Brass rounds out the range with a powerful 13"x7" brass shell.

If you're looking for a drum shop UK or drum store near me stocking the full Natal snare drum range, Into Music Store is an authorised Natal dealer in Horncastle, Lincolnshire. UK next day delivery is available on all Natal snare drums.

Frequently Asked Questions

Natal produce four distinct snare drum ranges - the Arcadia Acrylic (transparent acrylic shells in multiple colours), the Café Racer (vintage-inspired steel shells), the Originals (exotic wood shells including Mappa Burl, Walnut, and Walnut/Maple), and the Brass - each with a distinct character and aesthetic.
Mappa Burl is an exotic tonewood taken from the burl (a rounded knotty growth) of the Mappa tree. Its highly figured grain produces a visually stunning appearance, and its dense, complex structure contributes to a warm, full, and distinctive tone with excellent sustain. The Natal Originals Mappa Burl is available in 13"x7" and 14"x7" in Black Smoked Gloss - one of the most visually and sonically distinctive snare drums in the Natal range.
Both the Beaded Steel and Hand Hammered Café Racer snares use steel shells in a 13"x7" configuration. The Beaded Steel has a smooth, beaded surface for a bright, focused tone. The Hand Hammered version uses a hand-hammered surface treatment that adds warmth, complexity, and a slightly drier character to the tone - similar in principle to the difference between smooth and hammered brass snare drums.
Yes - the Natal Arcadia Acrylic snare drums are particularly well-suited to live performance. Acrylic shells produce a bright, projecting tone with excellent volume and cut-through, and the transparent shell looks spectacular under stage lighting. Available in Transparent, Red, and Orange in 14"x5.5" and 14"x6.5".
The Natal Café Racer snare drums are available in 13"x7" and 14"x7" depths - significantly deeper than the standard 14"x5" or 14"x6.5" snare drum. The extra depth produces a fuller, more powerful, and more resonant tone with greater volume and sustain - a distinctive character that suits drummers who want a snare with real presence and authority.
Yes - Into Music Store occasionally stocks ex-display Natal snare drums at reduced prices, including the Natal Brass 13"x7" and Café Racer Hand Hammered. These are fully functional instruments in excellent condition - a great way to get a premium Natal snare drum at a reduced price.
