Leedy VINTAGE 6.5" x 14" Professional Model Snare Drum - White Marine Pearl
This item has sold and is no longer available.
From what I can tell this is a late '20s or early '30s Leedy Professional model snare drum. The drum is in really great condition and sounds wonderful. Drum is built from a single ply of mahogany with a white marine pearl wrap. I have cleaned the drum up a little and added new heads and snare wires.
While all the parts are not completely original, they are at least fairly accurate to the drum:
- The throw-off is Leedy but is a chrome-plated brass model and not original. At some point in this drum's history, a three-point throw was added to the drum and extra holes were drilled and are now filled.
- The butt plate is not original, but it is a leedy brand and is also chrome-plated brass.
- Four of the bottom tension rods are Leedy but from a different time period; the slots are a thinner design.
- A few of the swivel nuts also look to have been replaced with chrome-plated brass versions.
