Few years ago I find a Slingerland snare,chrome on brass,14x6,5,1o lugs without snare strainer.On both sides of snare it had two vertical holes with 2,5" distance from center of holes.After searching cat scans here and posting pics of my snare,conclusion was it is TDR snare.I find TDR snare strainer(Mikey thanks again!),and when I put it on shell I come with problem!When I put extended snare wires,wires are lifted,they not sitting on head.With "normal' snare wires,shorter ones,snare works perfectly.I took a pics of line between bottom of TDR strainer and bearing edge of snare and bottom is higher than edge.I measured distance between center of bottom hole in shell and bearing edge and it is 30mm(1,181").So my conclusion is that I totally detected snare as wrong one or I am doing something wrong!
Slingerland TDR? Last viewed: 3 hours ago
At first glance, the strainer gates appear to be about at the correct height in relation to the snare beds. Exactly what "extended" wires are you using? Attached are some pictures of a COB TDR I had. I was using Puresound extended wires and it sounded great.
Dule,Its sounds like the snare wires you are useing are to short..Used P/S wires. On a 14" head drum the wires that you should be useing are 15" long...Mikey
Also, there is a dent in the shell at the lug on the right side (when shell is upside down). That may also be causing the bottom edge to be pulled up a bit. I would find a good metal worker and see if he can GENTLY work it out and see if it pulls the edge back into place. Good luck with it Dule!

Thank you all for your replay.I menage to put snare and but plate so they are under the edge of drum.Now it works! I don't know from what snare are those snare wires,but i will purchase Pearl snare for free floating snare drum,it have same dimensions 15 3/4 total,and this one I am currently using is 15 6/10,so there is space for Pearl FF.But definitely this shell have some issues.It is little harder to put bottom head,need some pressure,top had just slip on the edge,but after all it sounds great ,and i think that will be even better with new wires,those ones are worn
