100th Anniv. Engraved Black Beauty Snare

[grumpy409]

Greetings Everyone, It has arrived just one day late for my birthday. A beautiful drum.

 

[John]

Nice!

 

[troymiller]

I don't think I could ever own a drum like that (or even be around one, for that matter), because my incessant drooling would inevitably ruin the finish...

(absolutely stunning, btw!!!)

 

[2000dan2000]

WOW! Happy Birthday indeed!

 

[Alex949]

Wow what a fantastic looking drum. Do you plan on playing out with it? Or is it more of a collection piece.

 

[Chunkaway]

Beautiful! I'd be too nervous to take that out to a show. Congrats!

 

[bellbrass]

Wow, that is a beautiful drum, and the one I wanted most from this year. Instead, I will have to live vicariously through you. Nice drum!

 

[Coelacanth]

I see you're wearing white gloves. Not a player drum, I'm guessing. I love that engraving, though!

 

[Bonzoholic]

I think I just cried a little. Gorgeous drum!!

Beautiful drum! It may not be a drum you play out with but you have to give it a go at home. I do the same thing with my AVH snare. What year did you get? Play it in good health my friend. Congratulations.

grumpy409------------- quick ?? did your drum come with a hardshell case or leather bag??

 

[Luddite]

Welcome aboard, Alex!
Grumpy, that is truly awe-inspiring. Congratulations on being fortunate enough to own one.

 

[bzzfkt]

wow......looks like a 6.5", yes?.......beautiful!!!!!!

 

[Gotdrums]

Still waiting for mine to arrive. Can't wait. This is the one to get. LUDWIG 100 years . For a new drum....what else would you want.

 

[grumpy409]

Greetings Everyone, Yes, it came in a hard shell case and is 6.5" deep. I handled it with the white gloves because it had zero prints on it from the factory. It won`t be played but put on display with the Bun E. Carlos snare and the engraved Black Magic snare which has yet to arrive. I consider the 100th anniversary special. All three drums will be passed down to my son who will hopefully pass them on to his son or daughter after I am gone. The last band I was in played a lot of bars where the women drink beer from the picther....they don`t need no stinkin` glass...and the last thing I would want is one to stumble up spilling beer saying "That drum sure is purtty". Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I bought this drum with my income tax refund....my part of helping the American economy recover.

Cherish that drum!
Beautific!

I don't know if I could buy a new drum & not play it. I wish I could say I could but I don't think so. I guess it would depend on how good the drum sounded & where I would be playing it.
Great looking drum, Congrats
