Yes, Kent used that strainer only on Revere and Musketeer drums...Mikey

Jeff, Yes 75.00 for the drum and all was a great price.Yes the strainer is origional to the drum.Alittle history-[story i was told] about these drums.Kent made three lines of drums---Kent--Revere---Musketeer--The story goes that the Revere line was made for a music house that sold them on the east coast under the name..On the west coast the line was named Musketeer..Both of these place's sold snare drum set's the drum/case/stand/pad/ete..But Kent also made set's under these two name's but NOT many set's i have only seen one of each complete set's..I have seen more snare's these snares are RARE to fine..I know that the number of these snares are low thats because that Kent only made these two lines of drums for a short time.....Mikey

This is a photo of a Kent strainer that you would fine on most snares made with the Kent name on them..This one is on auction at shopgoodwill.com bid is 18.00 with a few days to go.....Mikey

Thanks Mikey, I think I have a Kent snare drum with that strainer on it. I did end up buying the Revere drum. THe chrome on the lugs is really cheep and acting like it wants to flake off in places. Very thin shell, no weight to this drum at all. BUt it is still neat.

Hello everyone. This thread is ancient but relevant to a snare drum I just bought. The guy working at the shop heard it’s a made in Japan brand that was actually made in the US. The rims may not be original, but the throw off is certainly interesting looking. Badge says “Revere” thanks for any assistance in dating this drum.
