Hey guys,

I saw this snare here a while back. Anyone know who made it?

Thanks.

That's my drum!

14x5.25 (yes 5.25" deep) maple/purpleheart stave. Generic tube lugs, strainer/butt, and 2.3mm triple flanged hoops. I have since put a pearl style Gibraltar strainer on it since the original one kept slipping and wouldn't stay tensioned at all. It had really sharp double 45's for edges, but I rounded those off. It had too much of a metallic ring to it, not as warm as a maple drum should be. It's a fantastic drum now.

Cameron Spencer of Orpheus Custom Percussion made it for me. It was a straight up trade for a 14x5 Pearl Brass Free Floater.

Cool! Thanks for the info. This drum was posted originally under the username drumzac. That account was no longer valid so I couldn't send a PM to them.

Again, thanks for the info.

Take care.
