Only the second one of these I've seen and the first in 20/14/12 sizes. I have an orphan 12" tom and it sounds very good!

Never play it the same way once.

Actually found some NOS 1960's Japanese heads that work perfect on it.

Hey guys. Are these shells stainless steel?

Or are they regular steel that is chrome plated, like most common MIJ snares are made?

They are very cool looking.

Thanks
