unknown snare drum

Loading...

Hi everybody,

I'm new in the forum and I'd like to know if there is anyone that could help me in identifying a vintage snare drum that I restored a few months ago. Unfortunately, on the shell there aren't holes for the badge and no logos stamped on the old wrap that I replaced. Thank you in advance for your time.

From the way the shell is build-i would say this is Tromsa! Also RKB brings me to that point! But i never saw a strainer and those lugs on Tromsa Drums! Could be Trowa or Tacton also! Some german brand i am quite sure!

Thank you so much!

I have been searching for days on internet about the west german drum companies but I can't find nothing similar to this snare.

The strange thing is that it has no label or badge: how it is possible?

Also the lugs mounted are not helpful to determine which model could be.

Grazie Luca!

Mi hai tolto da una situazione che mi stava facendo diventare matto! hahahah!!! :-) ero indeciso se fosse un rullante tedesco o di una marca vintage italiana ma non sapevo dove e cosa cercare nell'ambito del vintage made in Italy così mi sono focalizzato solo sulle ditte tedesche... peccato che purtroppo quando me le avevano dato aveva tutto il rivestimento originale rovinato ed ho dovuto sostituirlo.

Grazie, ora almeno so dargli un nome! :-)

Hexagonal head bolts immediately tell us about italian drums... :)

Cheers,

Hi Luca, I never personally have not seen any Eastern European old drums with hex head bolts - always slot only, or square.

Well, but I really heard about some models of polish Szpaderski drums with hex bolts.

Cheers,

George.
