Paul "Jamo" Jamieson's 1990 UNTOUCHED SOLID 4×14″ Single Ply Maple Snare.

Paul Jamieson is better known as “Jamo” to virtually every first call drummer and producer in Los Angeles. Starting in the early he 1970s was in top demand as a studio and touring drum tech and soon opened his now legendary Paul Jamieson Studio Rentals, providing top quality drum rentals and service to the exploding Los Angeles recording world. He worked closely with top drummers including Jeff Porcaro, Steve Smith, Tony Williams, Mick Fleetwood, Steve Ferrone, Steven Adler, Phil Collins, Alex Van Halen, Steve Jordan and David Garibaldi. He supported artists including Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Heart and John Mayer. Top producers and engineers like David Foster, Marc Ronson, Al Schmidt and Ron Nevison all consider Jamo as part of their studio “A-Team.” Think that’s a pretty impressive list? It barely scratches the surface.

Jamo retired a few years ago after an extraordinary 50 year career. We're excited to present this collection of his most in demand studio-tested "workhorse" snare drums.

Jamo's "Craviotto" Solid 4x14 1-Ply Maple Snare Drum. Untouched!!

This drum is a time capsule from 36 years ago! This drum was never drilled for a throw-off or butt plate! Put on anything you want and it will still be “original”. 100% original. There are snare beds on the bottom edge. Cast hoops. It even has an original "Select" logo batter. Perfect! 

The SOLID drum company was founded in 1984 by legendary drum builder Johnny Craviotto and Bill Gibson of Huey Lewis and The News. The company was initially called SELECT and eventually changed their name to “SOLID”. This was Craviotto’s first drum company. It led to a partnership with the DW Drum company and the eventual founding the Craviotto Drum Company. From the very beginning these single ply drums have been revered among players and collectors as some of the best drums ever made.

Includes a COA signed by Paul Jamieson.
