RCI Starlite America 250th Anniversary Limited Edition Snare Drum — celebrating 250 years of American freedom and craftsmanship.
Handcrafted entirely in the USA at RCI Starlite in Bridgeport, Connecticut, this 8x14 commemorative snare drum was created by founder Romano Cotone as one of his final releases before retirement. Each acrylic shell is individually handcrafted using techniques inspired by traditional stained-glass work, so no two drums are exactly alike.
Features include custom pillar-style lugs inspired by the architecture of Washington, D.C., a precision RCI Starlite strainer with 24-strand snare wires, specialized single-flanged hoops, and an exclusive RCI Starlite drumhead featuring the “Spirit of '76” drummers artwork. Each drum is individually numbered as part of a strictly limited run of only 20 (Series I) and 25 (Series II) — once sold out, no more will ever be made.
This is a full collector's package, not just a drum. It includes:
Heavy-duty commemorative display/storage case, handcrafted by RCI Starlite with a padded interior inspired by classic American travel trunks
Custom bronze eagle drum key, cast in the RCI Starlite Foundry
Framed Certificate of Authenticity, personally signed by Romano Cotone
Matching serial numbers on both the drum and the case
Limited-edition Stars & Stripes drumsticks
Reproductions of America's founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights
