Description
This Slingerland 5.5 x 14 sparkling blue pearl wood snare drum is in fantastic condition. It is in really nice shape and the laminate looks great. There are a couple of small spots where the laminate has been lightly scratched but overall it is in very good condition. The muffler and the snare throw are working and the snare throw works without any issue as long as you are not pushing the snare throw arm towards the drum. If the snare throw arm is pushed towards the drum it creates a minor hitch. The lugs do have some light pitting on them but this is typical age wear. This drum plays with a nice crisp sound!
