DRUM COMMEMORATES 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 1906 SAN FRANCISCO
EARTHQUAKE AND FIRE.

This San Francisco Drum Company snare drum commemorates the centennial anniversary of the Great San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. This drum was inspired by the military and pit orchestra drums of the era and includes design elements representing the elements and events of the time. This instrument is designed with a unique combination of silver-plated and decorative brass components inspired by the events of the 1906 earthquake and fire. The drum is finished in a custom mahogany stain with an antique oil and varnish polish, and features a custom silver-over-brass metal inlay with engraving by John Aldridge. The snare strainer is hand-crafted by Adrian Kirchler of AK Drums/Italy. The inlay is set into a channel created by cutting the all-maple shell into two sections. The shell is rejoined with additional plies to symbolize the San Andreas fault line that exists under the city today and the rebuilding of San Francisco after the fire. “I wanted people to be reminded of facing a severe setback and overcoming adversity,” said Garry Williams of SF Drum Co. “I combined wood and metal, which was used to rebuild the City, and the drum represents the vital role of the military in keeping down chaos.” This special limited edition collectable instrument includes a custom-made wooden case, certificate of authenticity and a historical book. * Collection piece, never played. New-Old-Stock condition with original logo heads included. * Wooden box has a small ding on one edge, as well as mark on logo, please review photo.  * Please note weight for shipping consideration, the wooden box is very heavy.
