Thanks for viewing my listing for my Holloman Custom Drums 14″ X 3 1/2″ Maple Stave Piccolo Snare drum. This is an 8 lug Maple stave snare drum that was hand crafted by Holloman Custom Drums in Toledo Ohio. The drum is in excellent condition. I just installed a new Evans batter head prior to listing it. I haven’t see many Piccolo maple snare drums listed for sale, they seem to be a rare find. Please view all the pictures as they are part of the description. Here’s some info on Holloman Drums. Holloman Custom Drums is a father-and-son business dedicated to crafting handmade stave and segmented drum shells. Based in Toledo, Ohio, we-Bob and Rob-build each drum by hand, one at a time, ensuring that every shell is truly unique. What’s up Snare Geek family, back again with another snare review from an amazing company named Holloman Custom Drums. This is a father (Bob) and son (Robert) duo in making amazing and well crafted stave snare drums. First off what is a stave shell, well they give a fantastic explanation on there website that is located below.. Stave shells are comprised of vertically oriented pieces of wood joined with precision angles to form a ring -think of a barrel. After the shell is glued, it is turned on a lathe and then sanded before the finish is applied. This method of construction provides multiple benefits. Compared to a ply shell there is very little glue; glue does not resonate sound waves as well as wood. The other major benefit is the orientation of the grain. A stave shell is much less likely to go out of round and is very stable. This snare drum really represents the journey of a woodworker and attention to detail that is needed to create an amazing stave snare drum! Here’s some information on Stave snare drums. Unlike mass-produced drums, our approach focuses on individual craftsmanship and sound customization. We take the time to understand your preferred sound, wood species, shell size, finish, and hardware to create a drum that fits your style perfectly. This one of a kind stave drum was hand-made by a talented wood-worker in Toledo Ohio All quality stave shells consist of vertically oriented blocks that are beveled and glued to create a cylinder. Allowing the grain to run in its natural direction and the staves bonded without any unnecessary stress plays a significant roll in achieving this superior sound. By constructing solid wood shells in this fashion, it eliminates the deadening effect of multiple layers of glue. Having the bearing edges placed on the end grain also allows for maximum transfer of energy down and through the wood fibers. The advantages can clearly be heard in the natural resonance and projection stave shells produce. This piccolo snare drum sounds pure and pops, yet sensitive to light sticking. It works well in any musical situation.

Older model, collector series predates the design series. No issues, some small scratches and small minor pitting on inside on drum.

Letting a few rare gems go. Japanese drum building and design at its very best. The Sakae-era snares are legendary. This brass piccolo is no exception. This is the original 80s version. Favored by Yamaha artist and studio engineers alike. Fantastic sounding snd easily playable snare. But, you know that already. This drum was a live and studio workhorse snare. It was well cared for and is still in very good used condition for the most part. Strainer and adjustable butt function smoothly and used Evans heads tune up with ease. Original Power Hoops are solid Additionally, original wires were replaced with 80s Pearl Free Floating extended wires. They lay perfectly flat. Edges are clean and integrity of the shell is excellent. Drum was used a lot, but still sounds, feels and records great! This is a players drum. Upon close inspection, youll find scratches, fingerprints, smudges and oxidation marks on the brass shell and lugs. Lugs are slightly bowed – still solid and hold tension perfectly. Very common with these lugs. Plenty of scratches and dings on the hoops and strainer. Drum is complete, except for one missing outer spacer-bar from the strainer. The bar on the butt side is present. The missing bar has no effect on the performance of the strainer. It just serves as a spacer for the tightening bolts of the wires level rod. Excellent rare find for the player. Drum weighs roughly 9#s. There are more photos of this drum available to view on my Reverb Shop page. Tracking will be provided, as well.

Letting a few rare gems go. Japanese drum building and design at its very best. The vintage Yamaha brass piccolos are legendary. This Garibaldi spin on the 80s classic is no exception. Made as much popular by Questlove, as by the Man himself. But, you know that already. This is a very rare, early example of this coveted drum – square badge #159. The plain square badge is the original run, while the more ornate rectangular badge is a later production. The drum is completely factory original, except for the Aquarian batter head. This snare drum is in very good used condition. Absolutely no issues of concern with this fine instrument. Strainer and adjustable butt function smoothly and heads tune up with ease. Drum is used, but still looks great! Scrutinizer Note: Upon close inspection, youll find a few scratches and nicks on the blue shell and marks/scratches on the badge and chrome. Brass badge has a few oxidation marks along its perimeter. Chrome and brass badge still shine and blue finished shell gleams. Both heads are used and show it – tiny dent in the middle of the Yamaha branded resonant head. Too, the original Yamaha 20 strand steel wires lay flat when strainer is engaged. But, several of the wires are askew when the snares are off. There are more photos of this drum available to view on my Reverb Shop page. Tracking will be provided, as well.

Factory original drum – except used batter head. This model ST1340BN snare was available in 2010. It has been kept in the weatherproof soft faux-leather Tama case when not in use. This version has a thicker shell (1.2mm), compared to the current Metalworks 1mm black Steel Shell line. The black nickel finish of this snare looks really classy, too. Especially the contrast between the shell and hoops. Make a reasonable offer or BIN immediately. This drum is also available on Reverb. If needed, more photos available there. I have fully scrutinized this drum and conservatively determined it is in very good used condition. This drum is NOT mint. But, as youll see, shes a beauty still. There are very lite micro-scratches on the lugs and rims. Integrity of the shell and edges are excellent. Nickel finish is very clean. Just a few superficial micro-scratches/nicks. Badge is clean. Rims are good. But, batter has some nicks. Original bottom head is clear. Top Evans is good. Both tune up fine. Original Starclassic snare wires are excellent. Strainer is excellent. Rods and steel/plastic washers are very good. Just some very mild fade on some rods. This is an exceptional used drum with no real issues of concern. This is one stellar snare for the player, recording engineer or collector. The sound, of course, is exceptional. Please examine all photos.
