Geo Way Snare Find Last viewed: 50 minutes ago

Loading...

The white interior is correct, wrapped drums were painted white on the inside. The butt plate I don't know. The current george way company makes a new version of one of the strainers but it doesn't look like it would be the one you need. Finding an original will probably be pretty hard or expensive though. Hoops should be easy to get correct looking ones.

I'm a big fan of George Way drums. Congratulations. That butt is correct (photo of mine below).

I also scored a vacation drum while visiting family in Ohio. Found this '67 Rogers Powertone in Cleveland. (She's stripped because I'm in the middle of cleaning)

Finding an original strainer w/ horizontal spacing will be next to impossible to find. I ended up getting one from a marching snare drum. Also keep in mind the 1st generation strainer hole spacing is slightly wider than the 2nd generation strainer with horizontal hole pattern. And just to make things even more complicated the later versions have a vertical hole pattern!
