Here we have a lovely Leedy Reliance series snare drum from the 1930's. This drum is completely original with the exception of the more recent heads and pure sound snare wire. It's a lovely and very dynamic snare drum with a fantastic dry tone. Back in the day Leedy had a formidable reputation in drum building and this was one of the snares to own! It's quite unbelievable to look at one some 90 years on especially with so many companies now replicating features such as tube lugs, single flange hooks and Nickel plating. This one has completely stood the test of time and I have no doubt its got another 90 years of service in it and some!!
