Hi fellas, I don't post much but here's a snare I found. It's a Star Imperial King Beat parade drum that I bought for €50. The condition wasn't all that great but not horrible either. Just some rust here and there and some pitting on the lugs and other hardware.
Everything works as it should so I'm glad, and none of the parts are missing except for the tuner, but I don't mind that.
Two of the lugs were changed to and older style lug. That's my only "issue" with the drum. I would like to replace them with the original Sharktooth lugs. Does anyone have 2 laying around for sale or trade? Some of the other top lugs are cracking on the inside where the screw connects with the lug, I assume of the high tension the snare was in and considering its age. I tuned the snare a bit lower then when I found it.
Also the wrap isn't in great condition but I kinda like aged color it got.
The wrap is warped at the lugs and the overlap. I'm not going to change the wrap anytime soon but any ideas are welcome.
I would love to hear if anyone can help me out. Thanks guys
