Engraved Snare Drum?

Posts: 299 Threads: 27

Hello everyone,

I (as you might've heard) am working on a leedy project right now, and I am looking for a nice OLD (like 20s-40s) metal snare drum. Thing is I want a cheap one. Something kind of like this slingerland:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEDW%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200037231828&rd=1&rd=1

I dont think I shouldve let that one go but oh well.

Anyways any ideas? Im looking for a rag time kind of sound.. I would like it to be engraved but it doesnt matter. Does anyone know of a company that made snares back then that is a deadbeat collectors item?

Thanks

Harrison

I know where you can get a pretty nice 1929 Leedy Black Elite for $500. It's missing the original tension rods and snare wires, but otherwise nice. Not cheap, I know, but a good deal, and perfect for the project. PM if interested.
