Well... Here it is again.
After a long nightmare with a deadbeat bidder, I have once again listed this incredible snare drum for all to see and bid on. This drum is the first and only one, that I know of, to be made in orange abalone by Bill Cardwell of C&C drums. No wraps here. The abalone is real and the process C&C used is pure class. Bill made a whole kit which was featured in the 2004 Modern Drummer magazine. Read the article here:

This drum has to be seen in person to fully appreciate. I've owned it for over a year and treated it with very special care. Rarely has this drum been removed from it's padded SKB case in a climate controlled environment. No studio or gigs for this snare. The only time I took it out of my home was for a picture at a show and then right back into it's case.
This insane 7X14" maple snare drum is set up with a Trick GS007 throwoff, classic tube lugs and Puresound Percussion snare wires. It also comes with a new condition SKB padded harshell case and a DW drum key.
USA winning bidder pays a flat fee of $30 shipping fully insured through Federal Express. Shipping outside the United States will cost more so please contact me for an overseas shipping quote before bidding.
I've started this NO RESERVE auction at a rediculously low $100. There will be a winner to enjoy this gorgeous instrument.
Please see my perfect feedback. I do everything possible to make my auctions run smoothly.
Thank you and good luck!!!
