Hi Folks,
I picked this one up from Ebay a couple of weeks ago.
It's my first George Way drum and as you can see, it's in great condition.
Great woodwork, the chrome is superb and the strainer works flawlessly.
The drum sounds very open and woody with lots of buzz.
Probably not a day to day snare but I do like it and absolutely usable in certain settings. Sounds killer with brushes.
All the lug-casings suffer from the notorious cracking and damages on the lug-insert-holes. To prevent permanent damage, I inserted thin washers, hoping for stress-relief and improved dispersion on the holes once under high tension.
Can somebody tell me which model this is and what would be its manufacturing date ?
