John Grey Piccolo Snare Drum

Posts: 904 Threads: 127

heres my latest acquisition.. a 14" x 3" single tension 6 clip steel hoops John Grey.

Unbelievably it still has the original top skin with John Grey inscription..

Possibly early 60's, but not too sure..

Hi Mikey, I agree,its definately got the 50's look to it, but i am unable to locate the badge anywhere-maybe a forum member knows where to find it or has one also??

it has a pretty good sound..would be great in a skiffle type band..
