Help identifying a snare drum please?

Posts: 4 Threads: 1

Hi,

I've recently aquired some equipment and am curious to find out what snare drum I have as it is unbadged.

It's chrome with a wood/ply lining I think, 14x6, 8 lugs, and has had a hard life. Has Premier on the skin but don't know if that is original and is on a new era stand but again who knows if they belong together! Probably better with pictures:

Looks more Beverly to me than Premier. Premier usually has a shoulder on the lug base. I`ve seen Beverly with those type of lugs. Premier eventually purchased Beverly.

I think this is a Shaftesbury probably made by Premier for Rose Morris in London. Rose Morris has a long history of instrument making under many brand names and still has a retail outlet in London.

Thanks very much for both taking the time to reply. Have been going around in circles trying to identify it myself so some new ideas is much appreciated.

I was thinking Beverly because of this throw and a similar lug over a crimp. This snare don`t have the crimp and I think the earlier was without the bead shoulder. The shoulder helps from rocking side to side.

Just putting it out there. Dallas supplied all these British drums for a while so similar or exact will be mixed in here and there.

It's definately from the Rose-Morris stable, could have been badged as RM, Rose-Morris or Shaftsbury.

There's no badges that I can find or any date stamps unfortunately. How much would it cost to get something like this rechromed and a new bottom head?
