I have seen some of Rod Kampa's shells at the Drum Maker website.. He does some great work.. I believe only a few of the bell brass models were made and are collectible.. for big bucks.

Cheers

If this the Craigslist add I think it is. It is a 13" diameter snare.

Yes it is . I'm on the fence because I've been looking at supraphonics . But this came out of the blue .

Is it brass or bell brass? I've never seen or heard about a 13 bell brass snare. I know that there are some 14's out there made by Sonor and Tama and ¿Drumcraft?.

I recently sold a 14x4 GMS Bell brass snare and 1) it's heavy 2) despite it's depth it has a lot of body.
