Built this snare to sell, but ...

[motleyh]

... now I'm having second thoughts. Took me about 15 seconds of road-test playing to fall in love with the sound and feel of this drum. And then, there's the look.

Steambent solid bubinga 6.5x14, with matching rerings, black nickel hardware, and solid brass lug posts. All-black Trick multi strainer, Evans heads, Puresound wires.

What to do, what to do?

You can’t sell that!!?

 

[MrInsanePolack]

Simply gorgeous. I wouldnt sell it, but that's just me.

That thing has a fat snare bed.

 

[johnwesley]

Beautiful. I know how you fell. I refurbish drums, put custom patinas on brass, copper, bronze snares, buy junk kits and make them new. Once I'm done I like the work I did so much I find it hard to part with them.

 

[RickP]

Sell it - you can always make another

 

[crashtest drummy]

What a beauty!!!

 

[Larry]

Jeff if it speaks to you, keep it.

You deserve to have the very cream of what you build

 

[Bozozoid]

You've cadeeated a moanstare.

 

[steadypocket]

If it sounds half as good as it looks... Stunning. I’d be trying to talk you into giving this masterpiece up if I didn’t already have a couple bubinga drums.

 

[Drum Guy]

please upload a good sound file, would love to hear it.

 

[johnjssmith]

I myself wouldn't be able to justify buying it, and if I can't have it nobody else should, so keep it!

 

[roncadillac]

Wooo doggy, that's a nice drum. Bonus points for the Evans heads. That said, I'm not one to keep stuff I don't use regularly so regardless of quality, value, 'cool factor', etc... If I don't hit it with a stick most of the time I play then I don't keep it. If you really enjoy it and previously planned on selling it then maybe consider selling what other drum it would replace.

Well, okay, I volunteer to give it a fair and thorough review. Just PM me for shipping details.

Good idea. When you are done, I'd like a turn. Then I'll send it to someone else. We can all review it!

If you really want others to decide....

Take a glamour pic of yourself holding the drum.
Take a glamour pic of yourself holding the drum's equivalent in $20's
Post both pics to tinder
See which one gets more swipes.

That's a great looking snare Jeff - beautiful depth in your finishing

Gorgeous! I'm going to own one of your snares one day. Anyone know when the next stimulus check is going out?

Probably never. Congress is on vacation until after labor day. They have been on vacation since August 1st. Things have happened since then that will distract their attention. Besides, they dont care. They arent financially hurting like most everyone else.

 

[motleyh]

Oops, I did it again ...

I finally sold it.

Sigh.
