The inward bead has been a Yamaha thing for a long time. Just browsing thru Reverb, I found the Mike Bordin Sig., the Roy Haynes Sig., and both the Steve Gadd Sig. Black Aluminum and Nickel Over Brass snares to all have that inward facing bead. Wouldn't surprise me though, that Gadd talked...

Yes. At the bottom of the badge, in the black field. Really hard to read.

Are the bones human bones, dog bones, or trombones ????

Yeah ..... I'm getting that same error prompt, on and off.

The aluminum SD-3465 is in transit to me right now (coming from Austin, TX.), but I am familiar with the Evans Genera. It's similar to a Powerstroke3, with a built on richie ring. I had one on my Musashi 13x6.5 for quite a while. I've also used Genera Dry, Genera HD and Genera HD Dry on my...

Hard to find a lot of catalog info. on Yamaha. I can go back to 86/87 where the fancy Yamaha snares don't seem to be "proprietary" to the RC line per say ..... but certainly reflect the RC line. https://www.drumarchive.com/Yamaha/yamaha1986.pdf Earlier 78 catalog shows snares that pattern the...

I believe all these snares were a stand alone series, but I could be wrong. I also have the SD-2340, SD-2355, and SD-4365. This aluminum snare is "in transit" so I don't have my hands on it yet. From what I do know, these drums were MIJ while a lot of Yamaha's production was coming from...

So ..... I just pulled the trigger on this snare. Hoping it scratches my "aluminum snare" itch. Hoping it is Supra like, or Supra adjacent. Certainly looks like it could be, but I've never seen one of these before. Anyone here ever played/owned one ????

Your B/O badges have rounded corners. That started around 1979. Shells would be 6 ply maple/poplar/maple.

I'm a little older than that. Ringo's rooftop kit. And then later, John Bonham. As soon as I could afford a second crash, I bought one.

Correctomundo Sir !!!! I've been a 1 rack tom, 2 floor tom guy forever. I've got bigger kits ..... and smaller ones. Do whatever you want. Most gigs can be done with a 4 or 5 piece kit, hats, a ride and 2 crash. I could pair that down to 2 crash/rides (Sabian HH Vanguards are fantastic).

Like Stx said ..... 14% or thereabouts. You can pay thru PayPal FOR items ..... but eBay pays me thru direct deposit.

eBay is the primary vehicle I use to sell gear.

Welcome to Drummerworld & back to drumming. Great choice of kit. Smart choice to buy used. I'd say very little has changed over the last 20 years, as far as acoustic drums and cymbals goes. Maybe a few more cymbal companies to choose from, and a few less drum companies, but that's about it...

No band in particular ...... but :LOL: ....... the guy I bought the 14x10 and 18x16 from had a 26x14 also. I offered to buy that too, but he wanted to keep it, and was moving to Texas (5 years ago). So, I played the waiting game, and finally it paid off. I love me two floor toms, and I'll...
