It has been recognized by The Music Industry Association and received a stellar 5-star review in Rhythm Magazine. If you need a snare drum that you can rely on in any musical situation, the Merlin is the perfect choice. Just like the top-notch Rolls Royce aviation engine that served as its inspiration, the Merlin excels in delivering exceptional performance exactly when it counts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis gorgeous instrument is meticulously crafted with a shell made of 20ply veneers. It combines maple for a focused and warm tone, as well as birch for brightness and projection. The shell is expertly finished with a black tulip veneer and adorned with a sleek double pinstripe of maple. When you start playing the Merlin, its musical versatility truly shines through. No matter how you adjust the tension of the heads, its responsiveness is unrivaled. You can tune it down for a rich and warm resonance, perfect for creating that classic dry and funky sound. On the other hand, tightening up the tension gives you a bright and clear attack. Whether you prefer extremes or something in between, the Merlin allows you to hear and feel every subtle nuance of your playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 ply Maple\/Birch Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalladium Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass Snare Wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerlin Vent Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerlin B Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolographic ID Badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlso Included:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBritish Drum Co Drum Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14\" x 5.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCode:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMER-14-55-SN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"British Drum Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46329762939093,"sku":"MER-14-55-SN","price":619.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/2835\/files\/MER-14-55-SN-1.jpg?v=1742209889","url":"https:\/\/www.drumshop.co.uk\/products\/british-drum-co-the-merlin-14-x-5-5-snare-drum","provider":"Drum Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
