Black Beauty snares -- Olive or Keystone badge? Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 877 Threads: 324

Alright guys, this is purely a cosmetic quesion. Which one is more hip to you? Black Beauty with the blue olive badge or keystone badge?

Of course it doesn't really matter, and they will sound the same (all other factors equal), but after all we ARE the voice of vintage drums...and we worry about the little details.

Oh, and the drum can new or vintage...mainly just a question about the badge style...

I'm a big fan of the keystone badge.

I'm no guru, just a vintage drum junkie!

As a child of the 70's, I love the blue/olive badge. When I ordered up my new-era Black Beauty, I made sure it had a b/o badge. Awwwww yeah...

What if it doesnt have a badge? Does engraving count?

The Olive badge screams "Brady Bunch". The Keystone badge is a classic. But as Legacy Drummer alluded to, a real BB doesn't have a badge.

I loved Brady Bunch. The more I think about it, the more I dig the Blue Olive.

I'm partial to the B/O badge for these.
