Just saw a great Buddy Rich solo on youtube. I fell in love with the sound of this snare. It looked like a Slinglerland 1970 Chrome over wood Buddy Rich model with the bottom lugs right next to the top lugs. And a stick chopper rim. I sure would love to find one of these!

Good luck! Start looking around your area. One sold for $1100 and another sold for $700 recently on Ebay.
Finding an original with the choppers will also be hard to do...
Look at the one on this page of TommyP
I know what he paid for his a few years back and now they are even harder to find and much more expensive...
If you find two, send me an email!

I don't know how true this is, or how big of an impact it would have over a "stock" Snare, but I read somewhere that Buddy always requested that any Company making him a wood shell Snare add extra coats of lacquer to the interior.
I guess he was looking for more projection..........

I always wondered where that chrome over wood phase came from, as it is a little unpopular nowadays. Could it be Buddy's influence?
