C & C Drum Company - Tris Imboden's, Chicago, 5x14" Custom Walnut Snare Drum, Immaculate 2010's - Natural Stain (TI C&C #1)

The Tris Imboden Collection,

Tris Imboden’s professional career has spanned 6 decades and is going strong!  From his first professional gig was in 1970 with the now legendary HONK, and his current gig with The Tris Imboden Yacht Stars, Tris has performed with A-list music icons including Neil Diamond, Kenny Loggins, Firefall, Richard Marx, Steve Vai, Roger Daltrey, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Chicago, Anita Baker, Julio Iglesias, Stevie Wonder and many more. Highlights of his career include driving Kenny Loggins' "Footloose", and "I'm Alright” to the top of the charts plus a 28 year gig as a member of Chicago.

Tris amassed a massive collection of drum gear over his six decade career. He’s decided to keep just enough to cover his current gigs, and asked my help to try and find worthy homes for the remainder of his collection. 

The collection includes drums and accessories from DW, C&C and Orlich, hand percussion from LP and Toca, and nearly 100 cymbals from Paiste and Zildjian. Most of these items are limited editions, hand selected or custom made for Tris. All of it is spectacular pro gear that’s excited to start making music again. 

Keep checking back, we’re adding more gear every day!

Excellent condition. No issues.

This C&C 5x14" Cardwell Custom Walnut Snare Drum was part of Tris' collection of "go-to" studio snare drums that he used on recording sessions in the Los Angeles area. From the looks of it, it didn't see much action. The original C&C logo heads still look like new. Tris signed the batter head (not pictured).

The C&C Cardwell Custom Walnut snare drum walnut shell construction yields a warm, woody core tone with a smooth midrange and articulate attack.

Includes a tour used Tris Imboden signature Vater stick, and a Certificate of Authentication signed by Tris Imboden and the seller.
