show off your snare

[Tommy_D]

Its a damn shame to see that much lug splay on a drum that cost more than most of my drum kits. Is the hoop and head seated correctly on that shell, or is it just that undersized?

Could it be because those are not die-cast hoops that they just look different?

2 of the snares I use. I just brought the D525 out of retirement and put on PureSound snares. I forgot how good it sounds! (the 'marks' are dust reflecting)

Lots of lovely gear. I have a humble collection of not-so-rare snares, but here's my Beverley Cosmic 21 which, while not rare in the UK, may be interesting to folks back in North America.

It has "that" classic 5" alu sound. Really great snare. One of those "best kept secrets" of the snare world.

Beverley "Cosmic 21"
You can hear it here, on this track (on Spotify).

No up close pics but I ordered this Tama 14x8 Bubinga Snare 6 months ago and just got it today!

I created a thread with my collection but I can't resist an opportunity to show off my snares.

14x10 Crazy 8's custom snare "Richard the Red". Probably my favorite snare that I own.

And here's all the gang on the couch. The COB Leedy on the upper right is my other favorite.
