Hi Blairn,

That's a rare 6.5" Silver Beauty. How does it sound?

This would be the only Snare (next to a Golden Sun HiFi) that would trigger my 'Collector's Feeling'.

Hi Lars,

Haven't even played the 6.5 since I detailed it out.....top rim is wrong,so it is bumming me out....

I am sure it is a firecracker though!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the nice words....glad you like.....

Those lugs are the 70's ones...I need 60's.....thanks though.....

I will reshoot the pics of the drums someday...when I feel like lugging them upstairs into natural light...pretty dark in the basement!

3: 14x5.5 2000 alloy snare from around 1972

They are all stock spec except for the nylon washers on the tensioners as I find them easier to tune with than the steel ones.
