Awesome!!! Congratulations! Great freebies!

[@musicstream26]

I saw Alex recently. Talked to him about the rosewood snares. He says you can't take them out of the country cause it's a protected wood. Don't try to leave the country with it. 😂

[@gomagsgo]

Wow! Please thank him next time you see him. Maybe show him this video so he can see how fucking pumped we are to have one of his signature snares. He can borrow it anytime!

[@musicstream26]

@gomagsgo he can borrow it. 😆 Yeah, I'm definitely gonna show him this next time I see him. He's very appreciative of people buying his gear. The rosewood snares are the best items of the lot in my opinion. Al's secret sauce.

Jesus,i am happy for you,but also so jealous.....To actually own one of AVH's rosewood TAMA snares is wow!, mind blowing.Wonder if the chrome wrap was to match his tour kit or fool the ludwig endorsee cops thinking it was a LM-402 supraphonic? whatever the reason that fawking snare is bad-ass.happy drumming.(play along to ill wait and see if it cuts through the mix in your headphones like a true alex snare should)

[@DavidMendez-il9lf]

Man, I'm still floating around the house!!! I'm going to do something special with it. Record release party coming up soon!

[@tweevers2]

Nice snare drum ...I am waiting to se if someone posts a video that bought his 'Holy Grail' rosewood snare drum I think the starting bid on that was $12,500.I wonder what it ended up selling for.

[@pacificplumbingco.7372]

Last bid was at 17K (plus 22% buyers premium and $350.00 shipping) the auction ended right after I saw that bid come in.

[@contramachina354]

@@pacificplumbingco.7372 thats nuts

[@thomasbritt6606]

That's really awesome. I bid on a couple of items, but they quickly left the range I was willing to pay. Wasn't there supposed to be a COA signed by Alex?

[@gomagsgo]

Yes. There is a certificate of authenticity. See thumbnail.

[@Slingudwig]

So what if anything was this particular snare used on? Congrats BTW

[@gomagsgo]

​@Slingudwig if you pause at 0.04 seconds, it has all the details. This is one of the best items in the auction IMHO.

[@IIIElijah]

Sad

[@DavidMendez-il9lf]

Not so bad. Alex wanted his drums to be played, and I am honored to have it. I'm going to use it as he did. You can count on me Alex!!!
