Medicine Man Modified Snare Drum - Read Description!

I originally bought this drum off of eBay. It's a hybrid 17ply maple/birch shell with an outer ply of kurillian birch. When I got it, the thing was a p.o.s. ------- I mean it looked good but the strainer was garbage, the snares would not lay flat against the bottom head at all, nor would it tune up. Even after installing a Dunnett strainer it did not help. So, I sent it to my bud PJ over at MedicineMan Custom Drums. He informed there were no snare beds and the shell would not even lay flat on a granite counter top. What PJ did was re-cut the bearing edges and snare beds. WOW!! HUGE improvement!! The drum is ultra sensitive now and has a woody tone, great for a fat back beat.

This video was made using my ZOOM Q3, no eq or effects at all. Heads are Evans Power Center, Evans Hazy 300 snare side, and PureSound Blasters.

If you want a custom snare or have one that needs a little help, PJ can absolutely do it for you!! Check out his site: www.medicinemandrumsaz.com - - - - - Thanks PJ!

Drum sounds great! know any tricks for stopping snare vibration from other instruments when recording?

[durangodude01nj]

It's all in the tuning and proximity. I assume you mean other drums, or, are you referring to guitars and such?

[zeptimp]

I am.

That camera gets a great quality picture an those built in mics really work. Does the camera allow you to plug another mic in it. Are you going to post other snares? you should experiment with different placements.

[durangodude01nj]

Thanks! No, the Q3 does not allow an external mic. I have several other snares and I'm going to post clips of all of them.
