Used Slingerland Gene Krupa 8 Lug Chrome Over Brass Vintage Metal Snare Drum 14"

Description

This Used Slingerland Gene Krupa 8-Lug Chrome Over Brass Vintage Snare Drum (14") is a true piece of drum history. Revered for its warm, full-bodied tone and exceptional sensitivity, this COB (chrome-over-brass) model captures the unmistakable vintage character that made Gene Krupa one of the most influential drummers of all time. The 8-lug design gives it a slightly more open, resonant voice than its 10-lug counterparts, while the brass shell delivers rich mids, articulate highs, and a musical, dynamic response. This snare is equally at home in jazz, rock, and studio settings, offering a classic sound that modern drums can’t quite replicate.

Condition

This snare drum is in used but fully tested condition. All tension rods, lugs, throw-off, and snare wires function properly, and the shell and hardware are structurally sound. Expect normal cosmetic wear consistent with its vintage age, but it performs beautifully.
