Members lossforgain Posted September 3, 2010 Members Share Posted September 3, 2010 This is one of the modern George Way snares. It's a fantastic sounding drum with a heavy brass shell and chrome plating. The tone is a round "pahhh" sound that isn't harsh or unpleasantly complex, and has a great finesse to it, allowing for very articulate response with a rich brass tone. Eight beautiful lugs and a very effective but understated throwoff and butt. The drum is in very good condition with a couple of minor blemishes on the rims (see pic #4) and one flat spot on the shell which looks like it was a dent that was repaired. The bearing edges are perfect and in-round, the drum tunes easily and quickly and suffers no problems from the flat spot. I've shown the area in pictures #5, 6, and 7. As evidenced by the photos, you can see the flat spot when looking "up" toward the bearing edge (pic #5) or from straight on inside (#6) but the normal view of the drum does not show anything (#7). This is how I got the drum and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Feel free to PM me with any questions. This is one of the best sounding brass snares I've owned, and I think the best value in a heavy brass shell today. The other options, like Joyful Noise, are far more expensive. New examples of this drum sell for about $500, this one is much less! EDIT: $279 including shipping in the US48! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lossforgain Posted September 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 8, 2010 Price lowered on this killer drum. It's now about 1/2 the cost of a new one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
