...i was taught by Tom Float, Ralph Hardimon/Glen Crosby, Dave Dillulo, and a student of Freddie Gruber(teacher of greats) and musically by Don Gunderson, and Stan Getz' lead sax, Steve Wilkerson...
...and i have been studying snare drum for 22 years ....and it took me all this time to realize that tempo control, Groove and Feel have to be properly studied...and when one has perfected pushing the beat while opening and fattening the interior notes, then one can improve their "Touch" of the snare drum....
actually i marched with Jeff Queen, in 1991...he has great hands....but i will tell guys a secret....99% of ALL snare drummers are playing incorrectly...you are supposed to play OUT of the head, not IN to the head...there is a reason why Buddy RIch and Louis Belson, Max Roach and Freddie Gurber can play ALL night long with blazing chops....Tom Float is the LAST instructor that knows how to teach and perform with the RIGHT approach...
Can any of you marching percussion fans tell me why this snare sound became fashinable?? I understand the head gets super tight and bouncy but it sounds like crap!!...sounds like your playing on a counter top. Why bother making the drum deep...I think the "old school" drums are better...I'd like to here Queen rip it on one!!!
No, kevlar is worse for your wrists. It's HARDER than mylar. Mylar has more of a softer feel that gives into the hands. Now, almost everyone uses a drumhead called the Black/White Max or the Hybrid. Both of these heads are more forgiving on the player's wrist because the contain a blend of Kevlar/ Aramid Fiber and Mylar mixed together.
The "Kevlar" sound became popular because of it's articulation. A lot of the short notes could not be heard as clearly with Mylar as with Kevlar. If you tried to play something such as Greivous Groove with a full Mylar snare line, a lot of the notes would get buried in the sound. Kevlar also helps correct mistakes. When every line used to use Mylar, they could get away with a lot of mistakes and sloppy diddles.
yea.. this is cool... but tyler shoulda won hands down.. i mean come on. he uses traditional, matched, reverse trad, and double trad. in the solo and moves from them so fluidly its disgusting.

SICK, so sick, some of Jeff Queen back in his day, I swear there was so much of Tribute in there and it sounded pretty damned clean.
