I don't know about having 12 lugs on a non-marching snare, but that amount of chrome looks really great on that shell. I am tempted to buy one of those shells now. Very, very slick looking drum.

Their is one for sale locally here, asking price is $500, it is deeper though than this one, nice drum.

Yes, I agree and it's a nice sounding cake that wants you to wanna play more : )

Thanks,

Hi, I have 3 spitfires now. two are 5" by 14" and one is 5.5" by 14".

My favorite size is 5" by 14". The sound is very crisp and clear. Perfect when I play my drum solos.Clapping Happy2

Thanks,

Yes, it makes me happy just by looking at it and it sounds very crisp and snappy!Cool1

Thanks,

Fred

Yes, the sound is amazing...! When I saw this shell on ebay I imagined how it would look like to dress this baby in Chrome Jump For Joy

4 vent holes (including badge hole) had to be drilled though...and all the holes for TDR-strainer and butt plate and tone controller!

Spitfires of brass is my favorite choice when playing drum solosThe Band

Thanks,

I totally agree on that, they look as good as they sound!

Thanks,

Fred

The contrast created by these two metals was for me a fascinating experience. And I have always loved copper very much! Now I saw an opportunity to use it in my project.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks, and here is also a pic of my little "Spitfire" museum : )

All three of them!

enjoy,

Fred

Very nice indeed. Apparently the Spitfire is a 12 lug snare by design. I did not know that. (spoken like Johnny Carson to add a touch of humor)
