I buy and restore snare drums as a hobby, and am very proud of this one. This is a Slingerland Festival COS snare drum from the 60s-70s. To cut down on unwanted overtones, I applied several coats of an automotive sealant to the inside of the shell. I felt the original strainer had a bit too many miles on it, so I replaced it with a better one, a Ludwig P85. It fit perfectly and no additional holes were needed. Even though the chrome finish is in very good condition, I decided to cover the drum with a blue-white marine wrap. It can easily be removed, if you want it that way. It has new Aquarian American Vintage heads and new snare wires. I spent well over a hundred hours on this project. The sound is wonderful! It now sounds like a cross between wood and metal, and weighs over 10 pounds! Shipped free in the Continental US.
