British Drum Co TAL-14-65-SN Talisman Series 14x6.5-Inch Snare Drum, Steel Finish
Product Overview
The British Drum Co. TAL-14-65-SN Talisman Snare is the result of a lifetime of passion and precision from legendary Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain. A true signature instrument, the Talisman embodies Nicko’s uncompromising standards and obsession with tone, power, and design excellence.
Handcrafted in the UK, the Talisman is seamlessly spun from British steel, giving it a distinctive voice that’s both commanding and musical. The undulating ridges across its 14" x 6.5" shell are not just decorative — they are the mark of the artisan’s skill, ensuring every Talisman snare is unique. The result is a drum that’s loud, vibrant, and rich in tone, delivering cutting projection and musical warmth that responds effortlessly to every dynamic.
The Talisman combines refined Palladium hardware with bespoke signature detailing, including the Saturn Seal of Protection vent badge and a gold-accented "B" badge featuring Nicko’s name in Iron Maiden’s iconic font. This drum is a visual and sonic masterpiece — a perfect union of British craftsmanship and heavy metal legacy.
