1970's era Pearl Jupiter snare drum, made in Japan. 10 lug, chrome over brass with parallel strainer system. The snare Stewart Copeland snare drum he used in the early days before the Tama King Beat on the Police albums. Good overall condition, some minor rust on rims that should easily clean off. Some scratches and wear on the shell. The overall functionality is very good, and it's a fantastic sounding snare drum. The original internal muffler is still intact, and works perfectly. The parallel (super-sensitive style) strainer system is all original and functional. The snares look to be original as well, and are straight and true. This drum was certainly played, and doesn't seem at all abused, but it shows it's age for sure. Weighs in on the scale at 11 lbs, 15.7 ounces. Has that elusive "crack" you get with a brass shelled snare drum. With the internal tone control, you can reduce the ring significantly. A great reasonably priced value snare drum. Doesn't have quite the cachet that the Supra or Black beauty does, but does have an impressive pedigree all on it's own.

The Peavey EVH Wolfgang guitar series is the result of the collaboration between guitarist Edward Van Halen and Hartley Peavey's company, Peavey Electronics. Peavey included the following endorsement in their advertising: "For as long as I've been playing guitar, I've always been searching for a certain feel and tone...I've experimented by tearing apart and reassembling hundreds of guitars in different ways searching for these qualities. Although I've ruined a lot of great guitars by having done this, I have learned what it takes to make a truly great guitar. The Wolfgang, after years of trial and error, (for me) is that guitar. Our collective efforts in designing the Wolfgang guitar have resulted in a versatile, quality-crafted guitar that feels great, sounds great and is truly inspiring to play. I've already put mine to the test in the studio and on tour and now it's your turn." The EVH stands for "Edward Van Halen" while Wolfgang is the name of Edward Van Halen's son (born in 1991). Production of the Peavey EVH Wolfgang began in late 1996 (after a year-long development process) and lasted until 2004, when Edward Van Halen and Peavey parted amicably. Production of the Wolfgang guitar (along with other Peavey models) occurred in a dedicated Leakesville, MS plant but was moved to Meridian, MS in early 2003. Van Halen had also developed three amplifiers with Peavey, starting in 1991.
