This is a stunning and rare Limited Edition Galaxy Snare Drum made by the company Drum Heaven in the 1990s—a collaborative effort between Jon Cohan as designer and Steven Schifer, who built the drum itself. It is one of a limited edition run of only 10 drums made, and was engraved by John Aldridge. Made from timpani copper with a heavy, hand engraved 6.5x14" shell, brass reinforcing rings, eight solid brass tube lugs, gold-plated triple-flanged hoops, drop throw-off, and Puresound snare wires. The drum is in very good condition, with light but notable surface pitting around the hardware and shell. This drum is a joy to play and sounds incredible—equally at home providing rich, warm tone and powerful, pingy rim shots.
From Jon Cohan:
"After two prototypes, which had brass re-rings that doubled as bearing edges soldered onto the copper, we landed on the idea of laying the hand hammered copper walls inside a slot on rounded (and very strong) brass bar stock onto which we machined the bearing edges and snare beds. I originally had ten 6.5x14" shells made, which were engraved with a classic pattern by good friend and master engraver John Aldridge."

Brand New items are sold by an authorized dealer or original builder and include all original packaging. Products listed by authorized dealers that are unopened, new in box and are covered under the manufacturer’s original limited warranty.

Items that were opened and returned, have a cosmetic imperfection or were used as demo units in a shop. Many B-Stock items come with a limited manufacturer’s warranty.
Mint (Used)
Mint condition items are completely blemish-free and have not been modified in any way. If there are any blemishes and/or modifications, the item needs to be listed as a condition less than mint.
Excellent (Used)
Excellent items are almost entirely free from blemishes and other visual defects and have been played or used with the utmost care. When an item has been used, but only has minor cosmetic defects, this can be considered Excellent. Minor surface level scratches, such as fingerprints or stick marks from regular use, would qualify.
Very Good (Used)
Very Good describes items with more cosmetic imperfections than Excellent, but are still in great condition overall. There may be some scratches, finish dings, slight keyholing or light pitting, but nothing that affects the playability or function of the gear.
Good (Used)
Good condition includes items that are in fine working order, but have significant cosmetic imperfections. A cymbal with substantial fleabites, or an old snare drum with some surface rust on the lugs would be classified as Good. Items with dents, or corrosion qualify as Good as long as they are still playable and fully functional.
Fair (Used)
Fair condition items have various imperfections that impact the function of the item. Fair items aren’t broken, but have some minor functional issues. Examples of items in Fair condition are cymbals with repaired cracks, or a playable drum kit with several extra holes.
Poor (Used)
Poor condition items have clear functional problems that will generally require repair. Examples of items in Poor condition include a snare drum with broken lugs, a cymbal with substantial un-repaired cracks, or a drum kit stripped of its finish and missing hoops or other hardware.
