What is this snare?

Posts: 425 Threads: 20

All threads are metric, yes.

I don´t know about drums - but on bikes I am pretty sure chrome took over from nickel as polished plating shortly after the Korean war - mid-fifties.

That would be similar to drums, where by the late 50's , nickel was offered as an option. Some drummers ,who had always had nickel , preferred it but ,certainly it was almost non-existent by the early 60's.------just a thought to help date your drum.

M-mm... bicycles also is not a very good example here, Jon. :)

I have some old bikes ---- f.e., a pre-war Russian-American bike (Dux) - it has nickel covered details, and two german - one of them is chromed (Wanderer) and another one is nickeled (Diamant)... Moreover, the original german set of bike's tool-keys has inches sizes but all of parts have the metric thread of course...

So, suppositions are continued..

Well, to snare --- it seems to me also that will be a correct to suppose about a lot of small italian makers.

From Jon Petersen

If you mean the #925 strainer, of course they share the principle, but I think there are many, many differencies. I have put both into one picture here:http://www.gratisimage.dk/image-7946_4F82DFF5.jpg[COLOR="Navy"][COLOR="Navy"][Sorry to shoot that down, but I don´t think it is a Star. Good eye, Jon...I did not look close enough to get the subtle differences.[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"][COLOR="Red"]By the way, have you ever seen a woodshelled Star with 10 lugs?[/COLOR] Well, yes. It was a Pearl. I cannot recall the stencil badge name, but a sweet sounding snare it was. Precision made, 6 ply shell, 10 heavy lugs, quite uncharacteristic of Pearl, but cast with their name inside.[/COLOR]RegardsJon

OK.

I have only seen japanese 10-luggers in steel - and almost all from the midseventies and newer.

Found this thread on the Pearl Drummer's Forum. Seems to be a similar snare. The owner ,from Lithuania, claims it is Trowa http://www.pearldrummersforum.com/showthread.php?264073-my-first-vintage-score

Thanks!

Yes, the lugs looks very much the same, unlike the hoops and the strainer.

Interesting.

May be a W&A drum. They seemed to use a random assortment of shells, rims, lugs etc and they used 5 sided lugs.

Just a thought.
