Thats a Buddy Rich model,as it does not have snare extenders.........

Rare drum in great shape!

Maybe it was made for Buddy himself,as it says "Artist" inside it,and is WMP!

Blairndrums is being a bit tounge-in-cheek here I suspect....lol

Please folks.......keep in mind that not everyone uses Facebook or wants anything to do with Facebook. Please post you pictures on this site.

No matter how far you push the envelope, it is still stationery.

You're not the only one, man.....

It's always best to post photos here on the forum...

They will remain and be useful to others in the future.

Links to eBay and photohosting sites change and die out eventually and become useless as a historical asset.

Still curious what is the little tab on the strainer? Has anyone ever seen one before?

I guess it's kind of a lock nut for the tension adjustment. Just a wild guess.

Not a Guru... just interested..
