snare identification help Last viewed: 8 hours ago

Posts: 89 Threads: 22

Does anyone know which "signature" snare drum was constructed of - I think Maple - but the oddity is that it had small brass dowels inserted into the bearing edge? I remember reading about it a couple years ago but the make/model completely escapes me...

Thanks for the help!

I hate it when that happens, and it happens to me more and more these days.

Starting with an all birch, 14 x 5 1/2 inch, 7-ply shell we drove 20 copper pins into the shell's edge to obtain the particular sound that JR desired. Compared to an all-wood shell this unique design delivers a sound that is amazingly tight and focused. The shell is finished with a covering sheet of White Gold. It also features Zinc diecast hoops and a 25 strand snare wire.
