Prussian Army Snare Drum - c. 1789–1815

The drum embodies the powerful military heritage of the Prussian and Napoleonic era, reflecting the instruments that marched with Prussian troops during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, during the period of European conflict with Napoleonic Wars and the rise of modern military traditions. Featuring authentic tricolour painted hoops in red, blue, and white and classic rope tensioning, it mirrors the drums that once led soldiers into battle across the European battlefield.

Its construction meets the standards of a true professional instrument, built for performance rather than display, making it an excellent choice for professional musicians, historical reenactment groups and living history organisations.

It offers a rare chance to own a piece of Prussian military heritage, crafted with the same level of workmanship that has stood the test of time.
