Sure thing! I just realized it's "Edgware" and not "EdgEware" as I was spelling it. electricit

Agree with all said. Definitely not a Sonor if made in England. Sonor's were beech which is darker in color than what your pic shows. I'm thinking maybe poplar??? Nice drum.

And should anybody in Europe ever want any refinishing Eddie Ryan does an awesome job - re-finished a beaten up Camco kit I had in the mid-80s. Best wood lacquer job I've ever seen.

Edgware were the 'budget' version of Ajax. Edgware were Birch shells with Beech cupport rings, Ajax were all birch, otherwise they were identical. Drop a mail to Eddie Ryan, he made them so he'll have all the answers.

The Edgeware drum is as professional as any imo.You have a lovely drum there.I had a WMP and foolishly "traded" it:(

Hi Isaac

Did you find info on this snare?

I have one too, in fact I have a kit that needs to be restored but the Snare is in great shape and I like you am trying to find out more about the drums, company and history.

Yes! The info that O-lugs left on this post helps. Check it out.

I still haven't seen another B+H EdgeWare in person. I would love to see pics of your set and snare. What is the color???

[COLOR="DarkRed"]English made birch shelled and the t-rods look like the slotted Premier-esque ones. Hardware looks nice and substantial.

dang...I bet it's a very GOOD snare drum.....[/COLOR]

Hey

I own a whole 4 pc kit, in blue w gold sparkle. 20" kick, 14" snare (like yours)12" kick mounted tom and 16" free standing floor tom. All concert toms, with no bottom heads. They all have same badge and snare strainer. I have been trying to find out more about these drums for some time.... Is great to see your photo !! What I do know is this..... Edgware is a city in England where they were made. Boosey and Hawkes are a woodwind manufacturer that put out a limited edition of Drum kits in 1954 and 1955, called Edgware. The hardware is ALL origional die-cast Premier, thats why it is not rusted out. I have the origional Premier kick pedal as well. There were only a handful of drum and drum hardware manufacturers around and Premier was the biggie at the time. B&H most likely comissioned Premier to build the kit for them and badge it as Edgware B&H. From my research, there were many companies that did this. Rogers etc etc.... Thats pretty much all I know. I do know that it sounds great... I'll see if i can get some photos up... cool feature of kit is that it has a kick mounted telescopic cymbal boom stand. Cheers Dave

Hi,

I also have an edgware b&h snare drum, similar to yours, i will try and get some pictures up asap.
