1925 Wilson Bros. Snare drum

Two remarkable finds on the same thread. One snare, one friend.
something old, something new.
 
That huge rim seems like it'd make playing it tricky.

Not really, It offeres a superb platform for that nice rim-click-with calfhide/snare sound. It's beautiful.

I'm really surprised at how sensitive the "thumb-screw" strainer setup is.
I'll be using this snare with the 58 Gretsch kit (calfhide heads on the toms) - should be fun.
