I've got an L.A. maple Camco snare (14" x 6") and it's cracking - frankly, as is every other Camco wood snare I've ever played. Not aware of this being a standard model though I gather they did do these as special orders (here's a pic of a special order Oaklawn chrome over wood) - http://camcodrummer.com/oakcowsnare.htm - and by the time they were producing in L.A. it wouldn't surprise me if they were standard issue.

In the unlikely event you don't go for the drum, put me in touch with the guy 'cause I would definitely be interested.

Cheers,

David

And a little postscript - just checked one of the old L.A. catalogues online (1973) and there is no mention of a chrome over wood snare as an available model.
