Sean, you're right! With good heads and some proper time spent tuning, these snares sound great! Nice job, Sean!

Excellent job on the restoration! I've had quite a few MIJ snare drums, both steel and wood, that sounded great!

Thanks Mark As you know these are solid snare drums. The condition of this one for year is really good. They certainly dont make classy drums like these vintage guys any more.......sean

I gotta ask - do these Vintage Star Steel snares sound any different than the Vintage 10 lug Pearl made snares from the same era. (See attached pic). I gotta know!

and how do they compare?

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!
