[A used snare drum from Chicago Drums, a USA custom drum maker that carries on the tradition of Slingerland, has arrived!] -Chicago Drum- Chicago Drums is an American custom drum manufacturer founded by its president and founder, Jim Moritz. Jim Moritz, whose father worked as a craftsman for over 30 years at the legendary American drum manufacturer Slingerland and served as head of the woodworking department, inherited various craftsmanship skills and knowledge from his father. He also worked at Slingerland's Niles factory in the mid-1970s. As a result, he has a complete understanding of the construction of Slingerland's classic drums. With a background in woodworking, cabinet making and finishing, and machining, he founded Chicago Drums in 2011. With deep respect, we handcraft vintage-style drums, carrying on the tradition of Slingerland. - Chicago Classic Series - The Chicago Classic series features a thick 5-ply maple/poplar shell. This 5-ply construction was originally developed by Jim Moritz's father, Jack Moritz, for Slingerland, and is a specification that Chicago Drums is particularly proud of. It features specifications reminiscent of classic Slingerland drums, such as a 30-degree rounded bearing edge for improved contact, a deeply designed snare bed, a steel stick saver hoop, and beaver tail lugs. You'll get a smooth and gentle attack and sound onset, a rich and deep mid-to-low range, and a quick yet well-controlled snare response. This snare drum can handle a wide range of playing styles, from delicate expressions to powerful backbeats.
