Members HBdrummer Posted December 24, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 You might find it's age here. http://www.vintagesnaredrums.com/drum_questions.html Naw..This thing is prolly like mid 80's or even later. I don't really care so much about the age of the drum. I just the acrolite sound. Could possibly become my main snare!:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Carminemw Posted December 24, 2007 Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 It's not anywhere near vintage...probably late 80's or early 90's I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HBdrummer Posted December 24, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2007 1993 or later. http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30000 Thanks for the "werd up", Mr. Fish. I figured it to be from around mid late 80's or thereabouts. The thing is MINT and prolly has not seen much use. I have the rest of the kit (molded case, snare stand, and rubberized practice pad) all in tact and not showing much wear. Looks like the original batter head as well. These drums have always been a fave of mine. It just took me 32 years to actually get my own! This drum does have a very nice sound (W I D E) tuning range and just looks pretty. It is destined to be my "main" snare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
