Yep!
14x6" Tama Warlord Athenian.

1mm Brass shells, with the RSE (bearing edge is very VERY obtuse and is solid, like literally solid)

Weighs a lot, havn't played it yet because im going to be replacing the skins tomorrow! I'll take more pictures and tell you how i go!

P.s. i bought this snare used for $550 - and it retails for over $1,500!

I am absolutely in love with the Warlord snares, and I've never been a Tama fan.

I'm dying to know where you got it for that price.

Also......... SOUND CLIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn!! That snare looks like you could kill someone by throwing it at them, haha.

Great for gigging, may come in handy on a bar fight. lol.

Now seriously, it looks awesome and I bet it sounds great too.

Congrats!!

I'm dying to know where you got it for that price.
one of the guitarists in my band was filling in bass for another band, and the drummer for that band just bought the bell brass warlord (the one that retails in AUD for like $4,000) and he felt like he didn't need it.

i don't have any decent recording equipment yet, however in about 2 weeks i'm hoping to get a zoom q3hd recorder, so stay tuned for that!

I can tell you that its very, VERY loud, and has this absolutely beautiful high pitched cut that none of my other snares have.

Sounds nice and sensitive, and probably contrary to popular opinion, I really dig the ring.

You lucky SOB. :)
