This little hammered copper 13" x 3" has been taunting me for a week now on my local classifieds. I couldn't just leave it there! I'm assuming it's early to mid '80's" If anybody could bestow some knowledge upon me that would be much appreciated. Though I may leave shell in it's present state of patina, any cleaning tips for the shell would be useful. I kinda remember people talking here about having to remove lacquer on the shell first. I would rather live with the patina than go crazy though.
Sound-wise: I'm surprised at what this little wonder can do at low-medium tunings. Cranked up it's got lot's of crack, which isn't surprising, but I wanted a shallow snare with potentially medium tuning that I can put in a case with a shallow floor tom for smaller gigs.
I've seen a few proud owners of hammered copper luddies on here. Purdieshuffle: I know you love yours! Anybody own this model?
