Does not look like t this drum was originally made for marching. Looks like someone attached an eye hook with a piece of bent wire. The cymbal and attachment looks like a Charlston cymbal that was attached to a bass drum rim and was struck by a beater, that was attached to the foot pedal, when the drum was played.
ReplyDeleteNice drum though.
