Thanks guys. Not growing up in USA, I didn't know much about these snares. I suppose if I had grown up the states I would have a 70s Student Acrolite in it's original case under my bed. After much research, I am inspired by all the great Acrolite and Supraphonic info and stories on the internet. I have fallin in love with them. They look beautiful and like most of us, I did in fact grow up listening to them on all the classic rock music I grew up with on vinyl and radio: The Beatles, Led Zep, Hal Blaine, Steve Gadd. I can't really make up my mind which one is the best for me. I would love to have a 67 Baseball Bat Acrolite. Or a 60s 6.5" Supraphonic. Or a 70s Pointy B/O Badge. It's too hard to pick, so I might get one of each.

That and the wanted sections of the drum forums............
I'm looking too !!
Hi everyone. I'm after experienced advice on what to buy. I'm after an Acrolite and a Supraphonic. I keep doing my research and I'm learning lots about these beautiful snares. I'm not sure weather to go for a baseball bat or the round knob muffler. I will be playing them lots. So I do want everything on them to be functional. I have heard that some baseball bats slip.

that's becsuse no maintaince has been performed on them, the basball bat lever can be tighten or loosend to your prefrence! I don't know of a single drum company that put mufflers on drums anymore y for a reason! the old single pad muffler has it's pros and cons.
Oh cool. Thanks for that. I think I'll look for a 1967 BB.
