5.5x14" NOB 8 lugs Standard model

This special snare drum was made for fellow drum builder and technician, Jeremy Berman.
While on tour with Muse in the summer of 2022 (teching for Dominic Howard), Jeremy stopped by my workshop for some in-depth drum talk. He loved 8-lug snare drums, so he ordered this NOB Standard model.
Sadly, Jeremy passed away unexpectedly in early 2023 after a short battle with cancer.
I had already made the parts for his drum, but I stored them away. Earlier this year, I decided to finish and assemble the drum.
I kept it exactly as Jeremy would have wanted, including the dedication on the top hoop.
