Metal drums are not as interesting to me as wooden ones but this one was offered cheap(60.00). The pictures I saw didn't do it justice and I had no awareness of the models existence but when it arrived I was glad I had strayed from my wooden snare, snare. The drum appears to date from the early '60's,based on features,such as screws.muffler type etc. There is no serial # inside,like the wooden ones carry.

Heavy C.O.B. plain shell, with finely furled bearing edges. 16 individual lugs,12 strand carbon steel wires.
