Nice find. Your Drum is on my wish list. Enjoy it

A beautiful and spectacular sounding snare,... love it !

I got ahold of an NOS mid-70's raw brass shell for that same drum and made myself a home-made version of the snare. It is one of my very favorite snare drums. Great find, that's a real nice one. They sound awesome don't they?

Thanks.. I am amazed how thick it sounds.. my band players like it too..

Hang in there jomelei 57.. It's 30 years since my original one got lifted from backstage.. either never really had the bucks, or saw the right one come up till now. (Hope you don't have to wait that long)..

Stef.. never got to find out what your fellow Muso's thought of yours??

Purdie.. I'd love to do that too one day..

Cheers

That's a real beauty. I'd love a COB. Enjoy.
