Everyones seen my snare (and if you hadnt, you have now)

So i decided to do a little research on it as i cant find photos of one like it anywhere and heres what i found.

The snare is a pro-level snare built around the same time as my ludwig shells, so this means its around 20-25 years old (1980-85ish) and judging by the throwoff it may well be an orchestral snare which explains the weight.

Thought i'd share my findings with you all

Looks cool, what's the dimensions on it?

[RushHourSoul]

Nice, that things a beast. however new pics would have been nice!

14x8

Sorry bout the lack of new pics, im lazy :D

[Postman Pie.]

Blimey. Its like two snares on top of each other.

How did you aquire it? I have a similarly old yet professional snare that I bought from my friend who quit drumming, for £5. Best deal I ever had, 'twas a nice Premier.

Off a mate who had to move down to uni :D

[TreMitchell14]

Uh... why's it outside?

[Drum Phil]

So i could take photos of it in decent light? :rolleyes: That a problem?

[puppet.master]

i just noticed it got internal muffling

do you ever use it?

thats one sexy snare though

i wish i had one like it

[Drum Phil]

Only when im up in the loft. Never use muffling (except a lil in the bass) in the rehearsal room or live

Wow 14x8.. steel? Killer man!

[osiecki]

what he said ^^^

[ThugsRook]

that thing is soooo killer :thumb:


is it just the pics or is it looking a little pitted?
id suggest taking it apart and cleaning it up real nice with never-dull or a really good chrome polish before it gets any worse.

:wave:

[Drum Phil]

Cheers guys.

Yeah its a bit dirty, im gonna do all my rims and lugs as well as well

Its partly due to the light as well though

[spirit]

Wow, that's huge. Cut much?

[Drum Phil]

Like a knife through water
