Very nice drum Derek and great sound gary

April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp





once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

They dont get the love they deserve.

I generally prefer an 8 lug drum so the shell is more resonant and therefore more involved in the drum's sound.

Someone snag it! I've already got a '65 otherwise I'd buy it. Best damn snare drums for all around purposes! Heck, I think I even like mine more than my Jazzfest..
