Need help to identify a snare drum Last viewed: 1 hour ago

Posts: 36 Threads: 14

Hey Guys,

Can anybody ID this snare? It is non magnetic and seem to be pretty old. It has trods that have a screw driver groove on the top. Anybody know where I can get them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Looks to be a 20's Leedy from what I can tell.

I'm not real versed on Leedy's, but i think those lugs came along in 1925. Took me a year to find 8 of those tension rods. Used some brass machine bolts from hardware store in the interim. Some of those Leedy drums had tension rods that were not the same thread pitch/size as other drums and even different than some of the Leedy drums as well.
