Any idea what the Tarrif/Import Duties would be on that now...?

[Jules]

I found this that may be of help and of interest...

How would that sound any different to a Prolite brass? Only the hoops are different?

The diplomat heads will make a pretty big difference

Looks like you are correct.

True, but also a negligible expense to swap with something else.

is this the only german shelled metal snare now available?

[Jules]

I’m not sure if the Prolite shells were even made in Germany. The drums were assembled in Germany, but I suspect JMT may have been making the shells for a while.

To answer the question I think you were driving at… I don’t think there are any catalog metal Shell drums being made in Germany at this point. The ones referred to in this post were likely all made in 2024 and I doubt they are still rolling any off the line.
