So
why is the Acrolite the Champion of all snare
drums? To start off with, the Acrolite was made
in huge quantities and became the starter snare drum for
so many young drummers during the 60's and 70's.
And
the most important part of being the Champion is the sound!
These drums sound great for any playing situation. Add
that to a very affordable price makes the Acro the Price-For-Sound
champ!
Price
will vary on the Acrolite based on the different versions.
A basic price outline is the early Keystone versions from
the 60's that have the smooth aluminum shell sell for
more then the 70's version with the Blue and Olive Badge.
Condition and originality always play a role in value.
There
are also Acrolites that were "First Generation"
and Acros that are deeper
then the cataloged version. These will bring the most
money because they would be rarer then the standard versions.
