Shawn - how often do you use your Kent and do you like it? Curious. Thanks.

Plougman great Rogers collection!

I have 20 snares, this is a stack of 'some' of them.

Great stuff everybody!

John-those are some beauties. That one at the top left is your project snare (slingerland?) that you built instead of your bronze supra isn't it?

Mike - The 6.5"x14" Slingy isn't in the photo. The drums are scattered all over the house and it's hard for me to round them all up for a family photo. I didn't show the orange-peel Acro, the snare from Big Blue, a bunch of them didn't make the photo-shoot. I thought these were cool enough to show off the collection, but it's only a little more than half of what I have. The upper left drum is my hammered bronze Supra. I love that drum, one of my favorites sound-wise.

I have a vintage Slingy copper shell (virgin) that is next on my list. It's an un-drilled 6.5"x14" NOS Slingy copper shell. It's going to make for a nasty sounding snare.

Shaking my head. I must be going blind! Wouldn't doubt it.lol. I see the imperial lugs now and the top die cast hoop. I know that drum!

Mike

LOL You should!
