Fabulous snare Stef. Been after one of those for a while and narrowly missed one here in Sydney, Australia quite a few years back.Still on topic, I just happened to be in Brisbane and visited the unexpectedly large and fine drum hire outfit The Drum Cartel.....and here were just three of the many, many snares (and kits) they had on hand - 10 lug 6 1/2" LA badge, a 10 lug 5" LA badge and a Geo. Way student model. Also had a couple of LA kits there. These were all in pretty good nick (the owner wasn't there to ask but wouldn't surprise me if the 6 1/2" deep was the same one I'd been after way back). Hope springs eternal.

Ah yes the Drum Cartel, he bought my 1977 Marine Grade Stainless Steel kit with a Virgin 14x24" BD, 16 & 18" floor toms and 12 & 13" rack toms both with small classic lugs.

The kit was an 8pc from the factory with 8 and 10" concert toms and an LM402. The rack toms were on two stands with clip mount tom brackets.

I only used the 13,16,18,24" and it was really great that all the tone controls were opposite the badges on the back side of the toms..

He got one Bad A** drum kit..

Almost as wicked as an L.A. era C-650.

With a L.A. era COB 10lug 6.5x14" one would never need another kit..Bowing
