This is our tribute to the life of Mel Taylor. Mel Taylor snare drums are widely used and appreciated by many drummers as well as Ventures fans. With an eight-hole die-casting hoop. you will have impeccable rim shot. Mel was well known for his unique snare drum sound and this drum was built with that sound in mind.
It is the best snare drum that I have ever used. The tone quality is great, the hardware is excellent. Not only is the tone great, but it has a lot of volume, and is clean & clear. I used it for the first time this month in the studio, and everyone remarked how great it sounded.
* The above is a recommendation letter on this snare drum written by Mr.Mel Taylor when he was here for their Japan Tour in 1993.
* A warranty certificate of Snare drum carries with an autograph of Mr.Mel Taylor himself (copy) and a genuine autograph of Mrs. Fiona Taylor.
