Unleash the iconic rock sound of the 70s and 80s with the Gregg Bissonette "Big Bud" Signature Snare Drum by Dixon. This 8" x 14" powerhouse delivers a boisterous, versatile sound that pays homage to Gregg Bissonette's father and mentor, Bud Bissonette.

Key Features

  • Walnut/Maple Shell: A 6-ply, 4mm blend of walnut and maple (2 walnut/4 maple) offers a unique sonic combination. Walnut delivers warmth and depth, while maple adds crispness and punch, ensuring a well-balanced and powerful sound.
  • Versatile Sound Profile: Whether you're after fat backbeats, reinforced fills, or classic rock and roll grooves, the Big Bud delivers. It's a snare that's equally at home as a main snare, a side snare, or even played between the knees for a classic feel.
  • Retro-Inspired Hardware: Double tub lugs and 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops provide a classic aesthetic reminiscent of the drum's inspiration. The lugs securely hold the shell while allowing for maximum resonance, while the hoops offer crisp articulation and rebound.
  • Precision Engineering: Unique bearing edges, with a rounded top and 45-degree bottom, maximize shell-to-head contact, optimizing vibration transfer and creating an expansive tone.
  • Reliable Components: Equipped with a Dixon exclusive slide-lever throw-off, adjustable butt plate, 42 strand snare wires and high-quality Remo heads (Coated CS batter, Clear Ambassador resonant), this drum ensures a professional playing experience.
  • Stunning Aesthetic: The natural walnut satin finish showcases the wood's beauty, creating an instrument that looks as good as it sounds.

Experience the rich character of walnut combined with the crispness of maple, creating a tone that's both powerful and articulate. The 8" x 14" size provides a deep, full body to the sound, making it perfect for driving rock anthems or subtle rhythmic nuances.
