That's it!! (Almost)

Looks GREAT, and sure brings back memories!

My first snare drum ever, purchased at Avenue Pawn Shop in Pauline, Ks (just south of Topeka) when I was in the 5th grade, mid 60s. Mine was "white ripple" but the badge, strainer, "floating" type shell, slotted tension rods... all the same!

Have you had this long, or is this a recent find?

Nice! That wrap looks like the red oyster pearl on some Kents I have. Is there a little silver in the wrap?

I believe this was called Raspberry Ripple. I will play any snare, & I honestly find little difference between the greatest & the lowliest. I've had this for about 10 years. There is no silver in the coloration. I can't imagine what White Ripple would look like.

My "white ripple" looked a lot like this:

That's pretty close anyway, as I remember it...
