Per the engraving on this Stainless Steel Drum, it was specifically made for Elvin Jones by Keplinger.
The size and other details are chronicled by Donn's Drum Vault who have been entrusted by Elvin's Estate to catalog, authenticate, and sell the mountain of drums Elvin left behind. Per Donn's Reverb writeup:
This drum was custom made specially for Elvin Jones in 1978 by drum maker Gregg Keplinger. This is the first actual production model of the legendary Keplinger steel pipe snare ever made (serial #0001). This is also the first of several snares Keplinger made for Elvin throughout his life.
In the video titled "Black Hole Sun: Inside the Song with Michael Beinhorn – Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro," Michael Beinhorn discusses the use of a Keplinger Stainless Steel Snare Drum 14" x 8" at the 0:58 mark, referring to its role in the recording of "Black Hole Sun" at Bad Animals/Studio X in Seattle, WA.
