Maybe I'm opening Pandora's box here, but Brady snare stands (I can't say anything about the sets), more precisely the Jarrah blocks, are partly subterranean.

There was a 12mm snare floating around on eBay classifieds recently, which I talked to member Niles about.

The snare had staves of different widths, the groove of each stave was of different width, sat in a different place on each stave, the staves that were too short were made to fit with some kind of filler (glue, silicone, I'm not familiar with that) and A Nickelworks plastic lift-off was installed on the outside.

All of this on an instrument that, even when used, still scratches or skips the four-digit euro range.

In an American forum someone wrote about the withdrawal that it was possibly installed on the snares in order to be able to see more of the shell.

Classic fanboy move.

There are many fake Brady snares on the market. Made in Australia by people at home using Brady parts. Maybe that was the case with the drum you mentioned. If you have a photo, can I review it for you if you would like?

Zitat von nils

Brady has been history since 2015, partly because production was massively affected by family squabbles. They have completely ruined their reputation within a short space of time.

Brady wurde 2015 geschlossen, weil es Chris Brady nicht gut ging. Es hatte nichts mit einem Familienstreit zu tun. Ihr Ruf ist nur noch besser geworden, da Menschen überall suchen, um einen Brady zu finden, da sie nicht mehr hergestellt werden.

No idea what that is exactly. Maybe it's perfectly legit, but the website looks extremely questionable. It's all very unprofessional and the methods used cry out for security vulnerabilities. I would hate to put my full name, email and address there.

I have a response from Kelly below:

"Thank you for your message. I understand your concerns.

Owner registry submissions are not shared with any third parties under any circumstances.

Multiple high profiles Brady owners, including Aaron Comess (Spin Doctors) and Dave Abbruzzese (ex-Pearl Jam) have also submitted their information and sent videos for the birthday project.

I'm simply trying to do something nice for my aging father's milestone birthday, who has brought innovative new products for drummers to enjoy.

I hope this helps clarify.

You are welcome to email me at kelly@bradydrums.com.au.

Thank you."

It's legit, you can have a look at the Brady Drums official Facebok and Instagram posts to confirm. Any concerns in terms of address etc can just be omitted from the submission.

Apologies for not writing in German.

Hello drummers.

Chris Brady of Brady Drums is celebrating his 75th birthday soon and I've copied a message below on behalf of Kelly Brady as she's locked out of her account (Kelly is Chris' daughter). This is a surprise so please don't email him if you have his contact information. Message below:

"Calling all owners of Brady snares and drum kits...

My Dad, Chris Brady, turns 75 in January. Since his retirement 7 years ago, it's become abundantly clear: drummers around the world LOVE their Brady gear, and Dad really doesn't comprehend the reach and impact his creations have had.

For his milestone birthday, I invite all Brady owners you to record a short 30-60 second video of yourself with your Brady gear (no, you don't have to play anything). Just say a little about the history of your Brady gear &/or what they mean to you, and wish him a happy 75th birthday.

This will be a surprise from all of us to him. Dad's not on social media, but if you could, help keep this surprise secret from him. He would be delighted to see everyone again and how much you all enjoy the drums he handcrafted for you over 35 years.

Please also tag your fellow Brady owners in the comments section. We'd love to get as many drummers from around the world to participate by December 30.

Here is how it works:

1. Input your Brady gear into the Brady owners registry at http://www.bradydrums.com.au/registry

2. You will receive a private email address to submit the video to.

3. Record your video and email the video to the private video submission email address

4. Dad will receive the master file on his birthday in January 2023.

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Kelly Brady"
