Hal Blaine's Custom Made Blue Sparkle Fiberglass Snare
The custom made blue sparkle fiberglass snare with Rogers hardware is particularly notable in the evolution of Hal’s drum set.
In 1959 Bob Yeager opened the Hollywood Professional Drum Shop. The shop soon became the epicenter of the Los Angeles area drum scene. Yeager employed Allan Blaemire in his repair department. Blaemire was constantly tinkering with inventions that could be useful to drummers. By 1962 he perfected an exceptionally deep and resonant fiberglass drum shell. The drum was soon in high demand amongst top Los Angeles drummers like Earl Palmer, Joe Porcaro and Hal Blaine. These three drummers were amongst a handful fortunate players who received one of these snares with an engraved “Custom Built” nameplate.
