"Ply" Question

Posts: 3165 Threads: 969

First, let me state that I'm not a "ply guy". I'm trying to determine whether the shell in the attached pic is a single-ply or a 3-ply. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. The attached pic is from a 1966 Slingerland Artist snare. I wish I had a better pic to offer, but this is the only one I've got. Thanks in advance for your time and your help. I appreciate it!

It's not a solid shell.

I thought they did make solid shell artist models.(?). I am viewing on my phone so I can’t really get much detail on the picture. Are the plys visible?

Not a Guru... just interested..

Jim they did, but this isn't one of them.

I'd be in agreement. The solid shell is a pretty thick drum if I recall recorrectly.

Now there's a new word: recorrectly. That's what you get at 5:45 AM.

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.
