I am offering this early marching side drum. that measures app. 15" wide and 11.5" tall. The drum is in good shape. The skins do need to be replaced, and it is missing one leather tug. The birdseye maple is in great shape. There is wear to the black bands which you would expect from a drum this old. There is a name printed on the leather that anchors the gut snare that looks like RANDL? ..see pic... With a little work this would be an awesome drum!

Bird's Eye Maple Drum
