I just built this drum last week from parts I got from Explorers, eBay, and Precision Drum Co. I bought the shell nos on eBay with a badge. The lugs, die-cast hoops, grommet for badge, tension rods came from Precision Drum Co. in New York. The Lightning strainer and butt plate came from Explorers. The Purecussion 30 strand snares came from Guitar Center here in Jacksonville.

The drum below is the idea I was going for except mine is a different color and 5x14 and not 4x14...It sounds awesome. I will try and upload a song I recorded over the weekend that features this snare.

A really nice snare you have there! For some reason it will not let me watch your vid drummingbulldog. It says "this video is private"
