Nothing on this drum looks like it has ever been banged, just played and handled over the years. Hardware looks good for it's age.some scuffing and scratching with maybe a hint of pre-pitting but no rust. Most of what you see in the pictures is either fuzz/lint or reflection. You can spot some of them in pictures # 4, 5, & 6.only they are not white like the picture makes them look.the flash just made them look that way they are black and blend in with the rest of the drum unless you are looking closely (the long straight line you see in picture #4 is the shell seam, not a scratch.and it's not white either.just the flash making it look that way.you don't normally see it unless you're really looking and it's just part of these drums). I couldn't get them very well in the pictures. There are mild scratches and scuffs here and there on the shell but you have to look for them and they are not deep into the finish. Condition: Excellent condition for it's age. But I'm sure if you're seriously looking at this drum, you probably already know all about it. I'm not sure why exactly.maybe it's just the perfect snare drum configuration. Tuned low it can sound seriously fat, as you could imagine.tuned high it can still compete, tone-wise with 6 - 6 1/2' drums for some reason. In my opinion these 9' snare drums put any 8' to shame.much more tunable, playable and versatile.

I had always kept an 8' drum in my arsenal.until I played one of these. You would think the deep 9' would be too fat but it's surprisingly versatile. They both sound as good or better than any other snare drum I've ever played. It's one of my prized possessions and I would never consider selling it except that I have two of them. They only come along once in a while and when they do they usually aren't black.and they are almost never in this condition. I can't say enough good things about this drum.
