My Snare Drum Collection

In this video I'll talk about my current snare drum collection - the stories behind how I got them, my favorite things about them, and of course I'll be playing them. Which is your favorite?

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I have received feedback that it sounds like I ripped off the "kid" (actually 20-something) who traded me the Ludwig Standard. I realize that the way I chose to tell the story here makes it sound like that. I did inform him of the price difference when we met to trade, and he still chose to trade. Later, I caught him at a show where he was playing the piccolo, and offered to trade back if he wasn't happy. He said he was good. No ripping anyone off.
