Here's a cool old drum that I'm selling to finance other purchases. It appears to be a really clean Fibes Crystalite snare from the 60s. It's missing the stick-on badge, but very clean otherwise. No cracks or anything goofy. I'm not sure if there was a muffler or not, but this one doesn't have it. Probably a good thing if you ask me. Chrome looks great. Add some decent heads and you've got a killer studio snare. Remember, this drum pretty much made Buddy Rich switch over to Fibes back in the 60s. He even played one of these after he left them for other vendors. If that's not a good enough endorsement, I don't know what is.
