Ayotte Keplinger steel shell snare drum. 5.5x14 with wood hoops. Fabulous Ayotte, Canada quality with the incredible Keplinger shell. This drum is in fantastic condition as shown. Of course, this is a VERY heavy drum. Incredible projection with an emphasis on ‘fatness” with the wood hoops.

DONT MISS THIS ONE!!!

  • Keplinger Ayotte snares from the 1990s are simply one of the crowning achievements in all of drum building. Combining Gregg Keplinger's stainless steel shell with Ray Ayottes wood hoops and hardware results in one of the most sonically unique, and desirable snare drums ever created. Both companies can be heard on various Soundgarden recordings and live shows. Superunknown and Down on the Upside feature some of the best drum sounds (and rock drumming!) ever recorded.
  • The Ayotte Keplinger snare drum is considered a go-to for recording by many studio engineers. It offers a unique and powerful sound with a bright, articulate attack and high sensitivity. It's often compared to the Ludwig Black Beauty and favored by drummers seeking a more distinctive tone.
  • This snare drum has light signs of use such as normal light scuffs, and marks on head. In overall great condition. Strainer and wires are in fantastic condition and fully functional.
  • Mint condition for a drum of this kind and find!!!
  • Highly Sought and Rare to find.
  • ALL Original Parts and components!
