want to know more about a drum i bought

I recently bought a drum I believe to be Chinese. I was wondering if this type is very common. It has a floppy steel key wind and it is stamped with a triangle that has a 36 in it which is what makes me believe it is of Chinese manufacture. All i see around are Romanian drums. How common is the type of drum i have?

could be a chinese 75 or 100 or a new bulgarian 75. the bulgarians i guess got the tooling from the chinese and started selling them here for $165. i dont know of anyplace that still has them in stock, but theyre selling for more on GB and the chinese typically start around $200 and up

im not up on the stampings so maybe someone else will chime in with a REAL answer :)

alot of people prefer the chinese because you load from the back and can keep the spring unwound (easier on the fingers, and just wind it and go)

36 in a triangle makes it Chinese. Though once quite common they're a bit rare on the open market these days. As LuzRD said, a couple hundred bucks is the going rate these days.

I was pretty sure it was a factory 36 made drum from China but wanted to confirm. I bought it from a friend for $100 bucks. It loads and winds from the front. It is a 75 rounder and it is in excellent shape. I couldn't pass it up.

sounds like a good deal to me, and what id be willing to pay
