Hi,
I have what i believe to be a 1930's Leedy snare drum 5"x14" but i am not sure what model it is as it has obviously been painted at some stage,it looks like the layers are black,silver and what may be the origonal colour a matt gold,i took the top off it and took photos of the inside and also found that the rim of the shell polished up so i suppose its brass.
What i dont know is should it be all brass colour on the outside ? i dont know,there does not seem to be any engraving on it just the stamp Leedy,indianapolis on the drum and also on top of the tenstioner bit.
Whats the best thing to do with this ?
