Yamaha Hybrid Maple drum set with Eugene Geisler & Co. snare drum

Showing the sound of my Yamaha Hybrid Maple drum set in vintage natural finish. This video has the very rare Eugene Geisler cast aluminum snare drum - it's tuned using the same mechanism as a banjo. I believe this drum was made in the early 1900's - probably 1910-1916 or so.
