Yes, it's a marching snare. Probably 10" x 14". The shallower depth (for a marching drum), "only" 8 lugs, and triple flanged hoops would normally make it a lightweight or lower-end model, but those features actually make its construction pretty much identical to a typical drum set snare of the same age other than the depth and long or "mach" lugs.

One thing you'd want to find out is whether it has wire snares or catgut/synthetic.

What's the asking price? Marching drums like that one can often be found on the cheap.

I concur that it is a marching snare drum. If you use it in a drum set application, be aware that you will need a snare drum stand low enough to accommodate the extra depth.

The Ludwig LM822SL and LM922SL may be the lowest stands on the market. The Pearl S1000D is in the same ballpark with a 14" height.

You can also use a multi-clamp to make some stands go lower. Pull the top half out and clamp it to the outside of the tripod's tube as low as you can.

yeah it was only $125. And it was 10x14. My buddy has a 9.25"x14" Premiere that is chrome over maple and it sounds amazing! I am trying to find something like that! I hear you with the snare stand too. My friends snare was uncomfortable to play just because it was so deep!

I played a 12x14 Premier COB marching snare for a long time. I sat pretty high back then, and I'm 6'3", so I was UP there. Even then, I used a cut-down Ludwig student snare stand to get it low enough.

It'a an 8-lug drum. Sounded huge when Mic'd up through the PA system...my soundman loved it. Most of the original strainer unit was MIA when I got it. I put dual strainers on it rather than a strainer/butt combo, and regular 20-strand snares.

I used one years ago and cut down a snare stand to fit it in. They take up a lot of room.
