  • Black Swamp Multisonic Concert Snare

    Four independent strand sets on one drum

    Concert percussion · United States

    The Multisonic carries four separate snare units — cable, coil, gut, and steel — each engaged independently, so a player can change the drum's character mid-piece rather than changing drums. It is a fixture in American orchestras.

  • Grover Projection-Plus Tambourine

    The most recorded orchestral tambourine

    Concert percussion · United States

    Grover's Projection-Plus tambourines use a stepped shell and hand-hammered jingles, and they are on a very large share of orchestral recordings made since the 1990s.

  • Zildjian Crotales

    Tuned bronze discs

    Concert percussion · United States

    Crotales are small thick tuned discs played with a hard mallet or bowed, sold in chromatic octave sets, and Zildjian's are the ones most orchestral parts assume.

  • Deagan Tower Chimes

    Tuned tubular bells for buildings

    Concert percussion · United States

    Deagan built tuned chimes for churches and civic buildings as well as for orchestras, and many of those installations are still ringing.

  • Black Swamp Concert Tambourine

    Tambourines specified by jingle alloy

    Concert percussion · United States

    Black Swamp's tambourines are catalogued by the metal of the jingles — German silver, beryllium copper, chromium, and combinations — because that, more than the shell, determines whether the instrument sits in an orchestral texture or on top of it.

  • Grover Concert Snare Drum

    Orchestral snare with adjustable strand sets

    Concert percussion · United States

    Grover's concert snares are built around interchangeable snare units and thin shells, aimed at the same repertoire the Multisonic serves and with a comparable following.

  • Black Swamp Triangle

    Orchestral triangles by alloy and bar profile

    Concert percussion · United States

    A triangle's pitch spread and sustain come from its bar alloy and cross-section, and Black Swamp sells them as distinct instruments rather than as one accessory.

  • Grover Castanets

    Mounted and hand castanets for the orchestra

    Concert percussion · United States

    Orchestral castanet writing usually needs a mounted pair a player can roll on, and Grover makes both those and the handheld sets in graded timbers.

  • Black Swamp SoundArt Concert Snare

    Single-strand concert snare

    Concert percussion · United States

    SoundArt is the Multisonic's simpler sibling: one strand set, a maple or steel shell, and the same bearing edges and hardware, at a price a conservatory can buy in numbers.
