I salvaged this from a water damaged kit and i got the edges re beveled a few years ago. this was the only drum that survived really. Anyone know what this wrap is called? I love the way it looks and honestly since i got the edges fixed ive been loving the sound and ive had quite a few compliments at venues about its sound. I dont know much about these besides that its a Pearl offshoot from the 60s but is there anyway to tell what year or anything else of interest? Thanks for looking folks.
Coronet snare
One of many name drums made by Pearl-somewere in the late 60s[[1968-72]] snare..i can't recall the name of the finish but still a cool looking drum..By the way two toms that match that finish are up on c/l in ca for 29.99 for the 12" and 39.99 for the 16" floor tom..Mikey
Cool, thanks for the info. I use this snare with a 1954 WFL bass drum n tom and a 60s Ludwig floor tom, so ideally id like a ludwig snare but this one does the trick while im broke! The wrap looks almost like the set of 70s Olymipas that someone posted in the gallery though i dont know if theyre called the same thing.
Maybe il post some pics of the WFLs if people like checking them out, i know i do!

I imagine by the time i got it shipped to Canada it would be a lot more cash..
Oh yeah,thats the one factor thats stopped me from having a house full.In a way i suppose its a blessing.

Darn...old thread, but I'd buy those two toms in a second. I just got a free Coronet snare in the same finish. Needs a little TLC, but would love to find other pieces to make a complete kit.
That's the same finish I have on the Tempro set I bought two weeks ago. I think it's called red grain pearl.
Darn...old thread. Got me too.
Those went? at a good price.
Thanks to Mr. Jerry Jenkins
Mikey is a bit off on the dating. Those lugs indicate 72-74.
I had a snare from that era. Recut the edges to 45s and it sounded great after that.
