DescriptionTechnical description: Design identical to (3809). Aluminium shell; 8 double tension rods; shell and both heads can be dismantled and folded for easy transport. A red line is clearly painted inside at one tension point, one tension lug on each hoop also shows red paint; these are aligned for correct assembly. Repair History: One skin (attached to the hoop with the spurs) appears to be a replacement since the edge of the vellum is cut unevenly. |
Other InformationSpecific usage history: Part of gig drummer's kit. |
