Hi,
I have a Broadkaster snare, that I aquired some time ago, from a friend who bought it from a Pawn Shop. The drum was painted over in a crappy flat black, so I had it stripped, and put a Tama cam-action throw-off, and Preimer 8 hole diecast hoops. It sounds great !
It has a seriel number engraved in the top reinforcement hoop.
#712
Also, there is a stamp on the inside "Jamestown Plywood"
Does anyone know anything about this drum ?
thanks
Yes, you do! Excited
I think you described it rather well, is there something you have a question about exactly?
If so then you should show us a picture.
The plywood reference is interesting.
Photos, photos.....

Here are two pics of the markings inside the drum. I'm trying to find out what year this drum was made.

More pics.
Nice drum. I hope you didn't put new holes in it to mount the strainer.
I had to put a few new holes in there to mount the strainer, but they are not nothing too drastic. Besides, I wanted to play the drum. It's one of my favorite snares.

Next time you need to do that (and I totally understand) check out this link. http://www.prestoplate.com/ This way you can play the drum without hurting it's value if you want to sell it later. It's a nice little service and Ryan Bennett is a good guy.

Thanks for your adviceCool Dude . I don't plan on selling that puppy.Walking But, I do have a few 60's Slingerlands that are all original. I love old snares.:D
