In fact the serial number suggests 1969 while the original Super Classic has all 1976 serial numbers. The added floor tom has no serial number, which indicates 1972. No matter, since the whole kit matches perfectly.

Johnny Craviotto and Adrian Kirchler have done it again! The two "Masters" have come together to create the latest Craviotto/AK metal shell snare drum and this one is the best yet. The "Masters Metal" series is a hybrid metal shell snare! The top part of the heavy two-piece shell is brass and the bottom is copper. The shell has a beautiful matte finish that highlights the natural color of both metals. And the sound is incredible. This one is my personal favorite. I like it better than the first run (brass) and the second run (copper). Both of those runs were incredible, but this drum captures the essence of both metals and gives you and incredibly articulate and full sounding drum. Features include all chrome plated hardware as well as the chrome plated Trick GS007 strainer. Also, there is a strainer option that includes Adrian's P-338 style vintage strainer as well. Prices are $1770 for the standard drum. The vintage strainer will be extra. Sizes will be 5.5x14 and 6.5x14 and each size will be limited to 50 drums, each with it's own serial number.
