Tempting...

Is that a seamless shell? How thick is it?

 

[drummertom]

Hi K.O.

Not a seamless shell but not sure of the thickness. Pretty heavy shell though.

Thanks, something to ponder...'cause I really do need another snare drum . Not that that has ever stopped me.

 

[drummertom]

It is a really nice snare.

And I know you need another one!

Did you sell it?

So nice. Nicely priced too.

Great price. I also have one for sale, but at a higher price based on shipping costs. Still, I am having second thoughts about selling mine since I own two Yamaha kits in natural finish that the drum matches very well. I also like the sound of copper, which has a hybrid sound that reminds me of wood and aluminum. Hmmm ... I am talking myself into pulling mine off the market, but I am pretty much guarantee that whoever buys this one will be very pleased.

Beautiful drum! Great deal on this one, folks!. Great seller too!

This is still available for sale and I’m back in MA so can ship it out.

At this price, how is this drum still available? These drums are incredibly hard to to come by these days. I am not even sure if they are still making a bonafide copper snare like this one anymore? At any rate, the minute this sells, someone will post that they are desperately trying to find a George Way Copper 6.5x14 snare drum... It never fails!
Please, someone jump on this one before I have to buy it.

Being heavy is not Ronn’s motto. I’m surprised to read that.

The George Way Hollywood COB snare drum is a heavy weight brass shell.
