Posts: 2 Threads: 1

hi there, i saw a metal snare on ebay up for bid and it has a slingerland strainer(old rapid)and it has a stamped marking gretsch american on it.the gretsch logo i've seen before be-

longing to the 1920's era. is there a connection between the two companies?who made what for who or should i say how was this snre sold before? can you guys give me a bit of history on this connection.at that era who sold this snare?

No connection. The drum has replaced parts if that is the case.

david,

i see the gretsch logo on some 20's marching drum/snare on the drum badges,but what puzzels me is the presence of the slingerland strainer on this snare.it looks unaltered to me.maybe i'm wrong.....
