lets see if this works...

Nope. Sorry folks. I am a complete idiot with attaching and sizing pics.
I will try to post some on myspace because I know how.

Give me a couple days to get some shots of the new snare.

Just testing to see if I can post one from your myspace album.

Here are the steps to adding an attachment (do not use the Insert into Post button)

Thanks! I'll try later, right now I have to think about shoveling a foot of snow off the driveway : (

he we go...

It worked!
Thats a 7" teak, solid.
I put those wood hoops on a Maryland Drum brass and it was a good trade.
I'll post more. I have yet to take shots of new "Super Drum 24 lug (12+12) and the granite snare I saw at NAMM.

Gold leaf scroll work on my Camco Oaklawn 14".
Interesting story behind this.

That is a beauty Bob. Did you do the scrollwork yourself?

It's a long story, but ...(brief version)
My uncle was a drummer and I came to have his Oaklawn Camcos (13,16,20,14.) Pink Champ. was not something I wanted. Now remember, I'm about 17 or 18 at the time. So I stripped them down and poly u'd them.
We'll. Obviously I came to regret that. Fast forward...
My father,who was a sign painter, passed in '94. He was quite the pack rat and we are still discovering things. Anyway, he became quite good at putting gold leaf on decal for fire trucks, etc...really nice stuff.
While cleaning I came across this scroll work and thought what would be more honorable for it then such a great snare drum.

I made a new folder with some snares on myspace under pics-drums

I will add some more including an old Super Sens. that rocks the world and an unidentified snare from my youth. The lever goes through the shell.

Fire truck is exactly what I was thinking! It looks great!

Thanks, Kevin. I really appreciate that on a couple of different levels.-Bobby
