Most Expensive Snare Sold?

[drums_to_go]

There's a Tama bell brass snare drum on ebay going for $3,000 right now and it got me wondering: what is the most expensive snare that you have ever sold / seen sold and for how much?

I once saw a Tama bell brass go for about $3,300 on ebay several years ago. I almost passed out when I saw that auction!

Personally, the most expensive snare I ever sold was a DW 14x6 bronze for $550. Wish I hadn't sold it, may look into getting another one sometime.

I was going to mention both of those snares (the second is acutally called the Triumphal), but I've never seen either of those snares sell on the ebays. They're listed for a ton, but I've seen the same drums on there over and over for a long, long time.

Being made of titanium im guessing it has a KILLER rimshot, but bad overtones. Although thats just a guess. I''ve never played a metal snare.

Killer rimshots, "Yes"; bad overtones, "No". Titanium sounds more or less like a louder aluminum (to be simple), which is a fairly dry metal drum.

Yeah its a 100th anniversay re-issue hence "centenial." But yeah you are correct on the model name....

Wha wha what! Someone get this kid a brass snare immediately!

I know of a guy that sold a 1920s Ludwig and Ludwig Gold Triumphial for $46,000. But the seller REALLY wanted it!
