My new 1960's Beverley 4"x14" Single Tension in Blue Oyster

Posts: 876 Threads: 77

I came across this 1960's Beverley 4"x14" Single Tension snare in Blue Oyster and I thought the wrap was way too cool so I had to add it to the collection. . . it is now on its way to my home !

I didn’t know too much about the company and did a search on our forum to see what the members said and saw the same type of drum from Guru member Adam aka thisbright14

Also came across a great article by Mike Ellis article about the Beverley drum company on the VDG which helped me to understand more about the company. http://www.vintagedrumguide.com/beverley_history.html

grantro,

It is in transit, I will give it a good run in about 2-weeks when I am back in my CT house. Hoping it sounds a good as my 66' Downbeat Piccolo. Might be a little harder to tune with 6-lugs and single tension so if you have any hints it would be appreciated.
