Dunnett Classic Drums

Vancouver maker of titanium snares and throw-offs

Ronn Dunnett is best known for the R-Class throw-off — a strainer sold to drummers rebuilding other makers' snares — and for being among the first to build production titanium shells. Dunnett also revived the George Way brand.

Models

  • Dunnett R-Class Throw-Off

    The R-Class is a snare strainer rather than a drum, sold as an upgrade for snares whose original throw-offs slip or rattle — one of the few percussion components with a following of its own.

  • Dunnett Titanium Snare

    Percussion · Canada

    Ronn Dunnett was among the first to build titanium snare shells in production, producing a drum that is light, extremely loud, and unusually resistant to choking at high tension.
