I Porked My First Pie Tonight

The only Pork Pie gear I have at present is a 13x6 steel snare drum but it's a keeper. Built like a tank, sounds great.

I would love to try out a shell pack one day. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

did they have an arrangement with Guitar Center at one time early on at least for the snares; seem to recall many PP snare got circulated East Coast (east of Mississippi at least ; ) that way- I know I had one offered in a trade to me for a cymbal- I almost took it

Am I the only one that's bothered by how much his throne moves around? I thought at times it was going to fall apart. Does Tim Alexander have back issues?

I don’t know if it’s the throne or someone not tightening it enough. It’s a Tama

I see Sweetwater has something too…just didn’t see then in DCP or some other shops. They are basically mainstream now.

I have a 7x14 Pork Pie maple snare in Porcaro Blue lacquer finish. It is a great snare. It can do anything. I also have the PP BOB (black on brass), the economy drummer's Black Beauty, and it is wonderfully crisp.
 
Just picked these 2 Pies up yesterday at a consignment shop each with a hard case in good condition. Both for $270 out the door. Couldn't say no to that.

One is a typical Little Squealer 7x13" with the vents but the other one is labeled as a "Gum Wood Snare" on the case.....and the outer ply certainly looks similar to a Tama Spotted Gum. So far I haven't been able to locate any similar Pork Pies for confirmation on really what it is but I can't wait to get it home and cleaned up a bit. 6"x14" made in 2014. I can try reaching out to PP with the serial number to see if they can tell me what it is exactly.....
