I know a little. I'm sure there are others on here that know more, but that's not a Hayman snare.

It has the oriental repro lugs that have been used on several brands of Asian snares in the last 12-15 or so years.

The Hayman brand is coming back under Chinese or Taiwanese manufacture, but the shape of the lugs is all they have in common with the original English made drums from 1968 to 1975.

Hi,Yes you are right ,the snare is not a hayman, The strainer is japanese inport made drum..Hayman made snares that were 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 " deep by 14" head,In chrome[metal] or wood never brass like the snare you posted..That snare posted in more like a Dixon made in the 1990s..Mikey

I have seen some modern stencils with the Hayman badge, so it is possible that it has the name Hayman, but is a Tiawanese or Chinese stencil.

My friend Paolo Sburlati told me that Hayman's name, dies and patents were bought by Dixon. That should explain this model...

Vintage Drum Bug is right, I've seen the Dixon snare drums in some smaller drum shops for sometimes lees than $100.00. I saw some of their stuff at the NAMM Winter Show in Anaheim last month.

Hi, thanks for the info. I have not seen this drum in person, just pics. Hayman was the only snare I could find that had these lugs. I knew that the strainer was not hayman, but who knows it could have been changed. Sounds like it is a Tiawan import. A dude at the guitar center said it was a 10 lug metal snare made by a company that was bought out by DW drum co. He must of thought it was a Camco maybe because the lugs kind of look like Camco. I know that this is not the case. He wants 50 bucks for it and a pear stand.
