Wormy Chestnut (Eucalyptus obliqua/sieberi/fastigata) is a combination of several Eucalypt species including Messmate. This specific example is very local to us having been harvested in our region Gippsland. Wormy Chestnut features a unique rustic aesthetic with bold black squiggly markings created by the Ambrosia beetle that weaved its tracks through the tree. At approximately 800kg/m3 density this is considered a fairly hard timber.

This drum is most favourable in mid to high range tunings. Tuned at its lowest, this snare produces a meaty punch with a resonant underlying pitch, particularly with dampening assistance. As the drum is tuned up, it retains its great body with the addition of a dry snappy throaty crack and musical ping.

Drum #450 built 15th May 2021. It has remained in Mat’s collection until now, since which time public exhibition of any Red Rock stock has not occurred.
