Hey everyone, I haven't contributed anything in a while so I present to you all my shiny new custom snare!! It's a custom job courtesy of Kevin from Crazy 8's Drums.
It's a 70's era Ludwig marcher shell that I scored off ebay. When it came to me it had a ratty chrome wrap on there. Fortunately it had a nice maple layer under the wrap. Just got it today and I'm super stoked!
It's a 14x10 with Kevin's fancy Karma balanced tuning deal on the shell. The only holes in the shell are for the mounting posts and the vents. The strainer and butt plate are mounted on wood plates and hang off the posts.
I haven't really given it a really good beating but from what I've heard so far this sucker is LOUD when I need it to be. Kevin really put a lot of work into this baby and I think it may be my new favorite snare drum. I'm hoping to take her out on a gig soon.
Here are some pics and one of her with my kit. It looks like it could eat my rack tom...
