Re: Drum talk
Ryan will probably chime in to this, but both him and Alex in Mouse Ear use Dunnett snares and both sound great.

Re: Drum talk
You can't really go wrong with Pearl. They're snares are generally pretty good.CodyCreepcore wrote:i'd love something in that same size (13x7) but preferably a pearl maple snare
I was introduced to a company called "TRS". I might be getting the 14x6.5 hand hammered dimension x black nickel/copper snare from them.
1.2mm shell, 4.5mm die cast hoops. They are apparently really loud and that's what I want.

Re: Drum talk
yeh i got the joey jordison snare. its pretty good. its loud and aggresive sounding but i want that with more low end punch. its a 13 x 6.5 made from steel. i think if it was maple and 7 deep it would have a fatter warmer bottom end but still have the pitch i like.Human-Demise wrote:I love the snare you have now.CodyCreepcore wrote:i'd love something in that same size (13x7) but preferably a pearl maple snare
Alexis i know you love SUPER high pitched snares. get a pearl firecracker. like 10x 5 or something.

apparently the thicker the shell the louder the drum, but less resonanceDax wrote:You can't really go wrong with Pearl. They're snares are generally pretty good.CodyCreepcore wrote:i'd love something in that same size (13x7) but preferably a pearl maple snare

Yeah but it various depending on maple/steel/brass and so on. I'm really anxious to hear what it sounds like. One of the drum guys at L&M said he's played one before and they're really loud.
I traded in a 12x5 maple Pork Pie "little squealer" snare a while ago, it's pingy as hell. Pretty sure they still have it there Alexis, you should go check it out.
Re: Drum talk
if I was a drummer, I'd play an acrylic kit:

as seen here:
man, a band with acrylic drums, my acrylic guitar, and an acrylic bass would be awesome. you could house the head and speakers in acrylic cases! and play with a clear strap. ohhh man.

Re: Drum talk
is this because they look cool, or sound cool? while they sound weird to me, and not necessarily in a bad way, there is no fucking way I would ever pay money for one of these because I have never heard one come even close to sounding as good as the best wood kits I've ever heard. Like high(est) end Pearl shit just sounds godly when tuned/setup (and played!) right.Andrew wrote:tylerp wrote:if I was a drummer, I'd play an acrylic kit:kranity wrote: yes
Re: Drum talk
They have a sound of their own, it's a matter of them suiting your preferred drum sound/band sound (or not). It works for Damages because we go for instrument sounds slightly left of typical anyway.The new album and the split song were done with acrylic kits (and Dunnett snare). I think they sound good. And look hella cool.canon.docre wrote:is this because they look cool, or sound cool? while they sound weird to me, and not necessarily in a bad way, there is no fucking way I would ever pay money for one of these because I have never heard one come even close to sounding as good as the best wood kits I've ever heard.

Re: Drum talk
Got this and I love it. 6.5x14 Black Nickel/Copper. 1.2mm shell, 2.3mm hoops. Might switch the hoops for 4.5mm die cast but we'll see, I'm pretty happy with how it sounds so far.
