Remo D. Belli Signature Snare Drum
The snare drum is really a one-time limited edition, of which only one exists on the planet. It features pictures of the founder of Remo Inc. Remo Belli at different stages of his life. Including pictures with Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson and it was signed by all artists playing at Drummer Night in Manchester. It also features the phrase "60 Years of Innovation," because the company is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2017.

The snare drum is made with the same specs as the Louie Bellson Limited Edition Snare Drum that Remo made in 1999. The Louie Bellson snare was limited to a 1,000, and Remo's one below is now at the home of its proud owner who paid a £1,000 for it at the auction. Watch the snare drum being auctioned by drummer and comedian and host of Drummer Night John Thomson.

The sizes are 5.5" x 14", and instead of the white marine pearl shell with gold-plated fittings on Louie Bellson's snare, this one has some of the iconic Remo Belli photos on it and the hardware is chrome. The snare is made by Remo Inc. in Santa Clarita, California, and the shell is made of the company's famous shell material Acousticon, the material used on the majority of world percussion products that are produced in the Remo Inc. factory.
