I used to use this as a timbali but recently found some 6 lug rims for it and i am digging it as a snare. Such a great jazz sound! Here is a pic of the sound hole if that helps any. I think the rings around it may have been caused by me. I think I used to attach it to a cymbal stand through the sound hole with some threaded rod and nuts and washers. I think it is possible the washers may have scraped into it slightly. At first I thought these marks may have been left by the original badge and some of them might be that?

I'm interested in any responses you get about your drum. I have a 5x14 NOB snare with the exact same strainer and butt. The problem with mine is that the shell is only 13 3/4" on the bottom side and I can't get the tension rods to line up good enough with the tube lugs to put the head on. Hope you hear something.

Sure don't know that strainer!Help2Hmmmm

The 1 hoop with hooks belongs to it, get another snaregate one for it and matching hooks/rods. The strainer looks familar but can`t place it yet !i Looks like there was a gromett on the vent hole.

wow I am surprised no VDF members know what brand drum this is?! Thought you guys knew it all.lol

Snare strainer reminds me of some brand,but can't put finger on it..

L&S maybe?

British? Premier?

well thanks for the guesses. So I take it that it is not a ludwig or leedy or slingerland or gretsch or someone would recognize it????

Any idea how old it is?
