This is most likely the case, but you may need to check your drum's measurements. A throw off such as this will fit into any drum with a Between the mounting holes there is a space of 5".
You should be able to fit it With this drum you get two sizes of screws one is made to fit wood shells, like yours, while the shorter ones fit metal shells, like mine
Depending on the size, it could fit directly, but you can drill a few holes since you have a wood shell. In order to install different throwoffs on maple and steel shells, I have done that. Then there are the butt plates as well.
You don't have to worry about the brand or model of your snare drum. There is a Gibraltar throw-down This machine requires (2) vertical mounting holes, and one horizontal mounting hole. The center to center distance is 5". You may need to change the mounting dimensions if your existing throwing arm does not match this As a result, there will need to be new holes drilled.

The function and performance are very good, and the price cannot be beat. Very satisfied. There is a star snare that I own from 1962. The bolts on the original throw off are stripped and worn, so I searched everywhere for a throw off with the same spacing but could not find one. My original throw off was filled with wood filler and it had worn holes in the end. I purchased this throw off to replace it, drilled new holes, and installed it. The vintage look is still there, but it works like a charm. It is a great buy for the money, and the throw off shape is very similar to the lugs on the snare! . . . if you want a good replacement at a great price and don't want to spend a lot of money on it.
You should be cautious when using on metal snares A particular type of shell is the beaded shell. Having to drill new holes is not enough to make the project work. Lots of modifications will need to be made. Specifically, I ordered this for a retrofit of a "sticky" Ludwig p85 throw off on a Ludwig acrolite. However, after drilling new holes, the following flaws became apparent (1)the screws that were supplied were way too long for the These were so long, in fact, that when used, they extended through the shell, passing through the threaded bracket of the throw off. A blockage of the levers in the throw actually caused the levers to stop moving. The mechanism that turns the computer off. Here's what you need to do For short screws, the hardware store was the place to go. A pair of eight mm metric screws and a pair of finish (4) A pin interconnecting two pieces of the internal mechanism scraped against the bead of the shell when the shell was first installed. Here's what you need to do I filed for 2 minutes with a metal file to reduce/smooth the pin (and painted the shell black to hide the damages. I am actually pretty pleased The throw is very similar to what you would find on a standard Pearl Sensitone A smooth, quiet, and reliable ride. Compared to the P85, I think this is a vast improvement. It was consistently "caught" when it attempted to engage.
I don't have much more to say except that it does exactly what it should, and I didn't expect it to be so easy to install, but just make sure you get the one that is correct for the thickness of your drum. The strainer is not to blame when some folks have had problems and stated that strainers are to blame!
Just Sayin'  Because you don't want to order one, wait for it only to discover that it's not what you ordered! We want to prevent nausea when at all possible so I am well aware of how much that can stink!.
A used Yamaha Oak snare came with a damaged and jammed throw. I purchased this to replace it. There is a cheap throw on the stock Yamaha A replacement OEM part costs more than fifty dollars, plus the part is poorly made and poorly designed. In contrast, the throw we have here is better made, with better chrome, and a smoother action for much less than half the price. It's important to have a firm foundation The product is well-made A part that has been engineered.
There were reviews and questions / answers that caught my attention. In one answer, it specifically mentions that two sets of mounting screws are included. In the end, it didn't. Strainer attachments cannot be made with these screws because they are too short and won't extend past the shell.
The action is smooth and works great. My flimsy snare drum had a flimsy metal handle. This handle is definitely an upgrade. A mount is mounted on one The center distance between them is 1/2 inch,.
A better throw would be I have a Yamaha Stage Custom snare that is slightly different than the factory stock. Screw sizes and spacing are not different, but mounting screws are bigger and stronger. It seems to work.
