hey all , here is the lastest snare i built ! it was built for jennifers drum teacher casey grillo to show our appreciation for everything he has done for jennifer ( and also as an early christmas gift ) . i had to wait to post the pics until we actually gave it to him.
this started life as an early 80"s ludwig acrolite snare . we bead blasted it and put on a beautiful black galaxy powder coat . we ended up doing it twice as the first time we did the whole shell the heads would not go on due to the thickness of the coating . the second time we masked off the areas where the heads slide over the shell.
we used a legend strainer because of the nice round logo area , which was perfect for the groups logo .
all of the badging was do by a local engraving place and the results were perfect .
we decided to use s-hoops to see how well they would work and after talking with casey he really likes them .
for snare wires we went with 30 strand puresound wires.
everything worked perfect together and it turned out to be an awesome sounding snare .
well i went to upload the pics but i have to resize them first . this may take awhile !!!!!
