    Default Ddrum 13x7 Dominion maple snare

    I went to my local shop a couple months ago and found a Ddrum 13x7 dominion maple in blue fade in like new condition.Drum has New heads Evans St dry batter/Remo clear ambassador snare side with new snare wires 20.He wanted a 100 for it which I didn't have so I put it back,not like I really need it anyway.I went back yesterday to get a few snare heads and here in the corner all covered up is the Ddrum I looked at previouslyI dug it out and started messing with it a bit.After a few minutes he came in and said 50 bucks out the door todaynot what I needed to hear.I played it and looked it over with a fine tooth comb.I told him I'd give 40 for it,that's all I had on me.He took it and I got a new snare.

    My wife's face when I came out was great,go in for a couple heads and come out with a snare instead haha.I brought it home and took it apart,inspected,cleaned,tightened all hardware ect.It's construction is great nothing shabby on this drum,Anodized hardware and die cast hoops look great as well.I got it back together bottom tuned med tight batter med tight and whoa what a great snappy crack.I haven't played with tuning yet to see the range becouse I liked my sound from the get go.I'm stunned by how nice this drum really is,looks amazing and sounds just as good.I'm really liking the st dry head as well,never used one before but it's nice.

    I always see reviews about Ddrum and most talk about shabby bearing edges,crappy hardware and such so I was a little Leary looking into this drum.I'm glad I bought it and will keep it and will possibly look to Ddrum in the future.Thought I would share my new snare excitement

    My wife had a mishap with the camera at a school party,no camera at the present time.I bought her a new one for christmas,so plenty of pic's to come after the holidays.

    Thanks for sharing a great story. $40.00 for a great snare? I paid more for pizza. I love reading stories like this. We as drummers spend so much money on our gear, it's good to hear some getting their fair share of breaks.

    Can't wait to see the pics...and the new camera! Congrats!

    Congrats to you buddy good deal and hope you have many years of good use out of it. I agree a pizza and a date cost more than that snare.

    Score!! Congrats on that snare

    I guess you could tell the wife you really did get a couple of new heads, they just came attached to a snare. LOL

    Thanks guy's,I had a chance to put it through it's paces yesterday.I played around with tuning and found it has a pretty big tuning range.I seem to like it on the tight end for that good crisp crack.I was worried it wouldn't go well with my kit since there different colors of blue,drums Sapphire fade,snare I think is blue burst.To my surprise they look great together,match pretty good.This is the first snare I have had that matched the kit and I like it better than my chrome or black snares.My black Panther was my main snare with the Slingerland as backup.I think the Panther might be the backup now with the Ddrum being my go to snare.Thanks again guy's

    Nice going, Skimp. I agree DDrum has some surprises. I had a complete kit and liked it very much!

    You'll have many years on that snare and I know the color you are referring to. Excellent choice!

    I've always been a sucker for 13x7 snares. That size just seems to give you the perfect body and crack. My Pork Pie little squealer and my first snare from my sponsor TMD are both 13x7. Can't wait to see yours!
