Hi there, amateur beginning drummer, so don't really know what I'm talking about. baby crawl2

Recently returned from a job in Japan, while I was there I bought an old snare drum from a jazz cafe owner for about $200. He said it was a special model(?) I'm back in the U.S. and not sure I'm gonna keep it, so I tried to find info on Google based on the model number plate, but came up with nothing. Does anyone know this model and how much I should sell it for?

$120, if you're lucky

steel snares don't have a high demand here

True on the value here. However, it should be a great sounding snare though, and a 10-lug instrument with that strainer system is certainly a cool find. I have a late 80s 8 lug steel Yamaha with a 6 1/2 depth and it sounds dynamite - lots of projection with a wide tuning range.

I had a wood Yammie with that system and it sucked.

Almost impossible to tune.

Reminds me of the Tama ImperialStar Kingbeat vs the ImperialStar Powerline.

The Powerline although cheaper to buy originally,nowgoes for about a $100 more used .
