    Cast Bell Bronze Snare 6.5x14- The Black Bell SOLD

    Sorry bubo, many people have asked for that but I don't feel comfortable releasing that information into the wild. All I can really say is that the alloy is not as big a mystery as people think it is. It also cost $400/day to rent that gun.

    Yeah it's just for recording, moon gel is WAY too heavy imo, that just a couple pieces of gaff tape rolled up on themselves. When I practice, she will be wide open!

    Radio King Help!

    I was replying to you.....I just mean when the split lugs are tensioned higher, they pull the shell in at the top and bottom, cracking the wood/wrap....just wondering if there's a way to help prevent the shell from doing that, as I like to tension a bit higher!

    Radio King Help!

    Thank you guys for the info, that knowledge helps so much! I was going to use it in my recording studio. It doesn't look barreled but I'm concerned about that. Can I add larger washers to the interior to help prevent that?
