Truly an incredible specimen here. Check out my video which explains the history of this drum and also discusses the many innovations that Billy created specifically for these Gladstone snares. The video is 13 years old now, which is when I originally sold this drum. Since that time I have brokered more of these rare drums, but suffice it to say that these rarely surface on the market, and this one is exceedingly clean. Truly the Holy Grail of snare drums. Currently set up with wire snares rather than the coated gut shown in the video. Contact me directly for pricing and more details at 630-865-6859 or by email at vintagedrums@aol.com
