Slingerland 4x14" Buddy Rich Model Snare Drum - 1970s Refinished
Couldn't load pickup availability
A pretty rare Slingerland Buddy Rich Model 4x14" snare dating to the 1970s. This is a wood shell that has been refinished with a delightful nut brown veneer, original double-flanged hoops, replacement Pearl throw-off, and 16 side-by side lugs. There are extra holes drilled for the throw-off, and the original badge vent is covered by the veneer. Tone control works fine. In clean, original condition these snares are bringing $700+, and this one, with medium chrome tarnish and the refinish is a great opportunity to get that crisp, wet, slappy sound at a much more affordable price!
From the 1973 Slingerland Catalog:
"Here's true snare drum tone, designed for the world's greatest - Buddy Rich. The strongest power stroke or the softest whisper touch projects a new brilliance never before offered in a snare drum. Featuring every possible advancement in quality construction. Exclusive Uni-Mold shell. Sixteen straddled triple chrome-plated lugs for separate tensioning. Shell 4x14 with Zoomatic strainer and top quality plastic heads complete this Rich drum to give you the most exciting response ever!"

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.
