My Snare drum collection Last viewed: 7 hours ago

Posts: 333 Threads: 51

It's not much and it's not all vintage but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

My absolute favorite is my 1960 Ludwig pioneer. I play it more than any other. In the metal category, the Slingerland Gene Krupa Sound King Chrome over Brass is the overwhelming winner. I played the Supraphonic last night for the first time and I absolutely hated it. LOL

I'm still trying to clear up some dates and information but attached is the list so far.

Again, congrats on your amazing collection.

What a snare-hog. Too bad there's only a Gretsch Catalina in there. Your collection is quite lop-sided, without the presence of few vintage Gretsch 10-luggers (kidding, of course). Very nice rack system, too.

Yeah, I have been on the lookout for some Gretsch snares to fill in the gaps. LOL

I wish I could display all my vintage sets at one time like this. Simply no room in my house big enough for that.

@Retro: There's a closeup pic of the snare in this thread http://www.vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=12181

The first post has a before pic and the last post has an after pic.

Thanks for all the comments.

Wow! Cool collection of drums! I don't have that many snare drums, but I would like to build some kind of rack like that to store the ones I do have.
