Hi, Are there any leedy experts here?
I want to know about the broadway snare drums. I bought a snare which is probably Broadway. The bagde is around 1930-1948 according to this website. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/leedy_badges.html
It's 3 ply maple? shell with solid ring. and I know there are solid shell Broadway snare at that time. How did they divide? Different model name or anything?
Mine is a solid white interior with the same badge with a slight differeence.I was told to submit pics when i asked a similar question....They sound wonderful dont they?
It appears we have a drum that not a lot of people know about considering no one has chimed in..I think i,ll start digging around...I might find another treasureJump For Joy
Thanks Wayne!
Here are pics. I bought this on the eBay, and there were some troubles with a seller, but I think this drum is nice.
Is yours 1 ply shell? I'm wondering how different between 3ply and 1 ply. When I bought this I thought Brian Blade's leedy. I don't know his Broadway is 1 ply or 3ply but sounds amazing. He plays it back in the days with Joshua Redman and most of his early era I believe.
If you could, please post pics!
Very nice drum.Yes,mine is a white solid shell with gold hardware and single flanged hoops.The top hoop is stamped Leedy,and the bottom says Broadway Standard.There is also scrolling on both hoops..Im getting a digital today,to post pics.
I had one, but 5x14.
It was single ply and sounded fantastic. The collector who sold it to me asked to buy it back. So i did...
