Sample of the great AJ snare. Wood hoops give it a naturally dry sound and an
amazing cross-stick sound.
Check out puresound snares, their twisted series are amazing, really bring the
drum to life.
The sticks are vic firth aj1's

  • i dont know why but my WSD 13AJ sounds nothing like yours but if i muffle it, it sounds quite similar. all the AJ snares in the world are collecters items now as YAMAHA stoped the production.

  • @dave90mckeague

    Thanks for your reply. My snare is also a Akira Jimbo 13 x 7

    Top head HD Dry, bottom head Hazy 300

  • @davis618 the hd dry is the driest head that evans make alongside the ec2 reverse dot (although i think its drier still). all heads will have a bit of ring but the hd dry has the least. what type of snare are you using? if its steel/brass it will naturall have some high end overtones that will be very difficult to get rid of. All snares will ring, but the hd dry is the best chance of ridding it. Wetter 2 ply heads include the super tough and the g2, these have quite a bit of ring but are durable

  • @dave90mckeague

    Hi, when you menioned the wetter 2ply evans head, which exact model are you refering. I just got myself the same snare and have Evans HD Dry and 20-strand Blasters, it sounds nice and fat and it also has very good projection. However I wish I don't have the slight overtone so I don't have to put on a moongel.

  • @masterbeat04 well saying that, i had this for ages and slammed it quite a lot. It only dented a tiny bit and i kept rotating it. If you take good care of it it'll be fine and you can buy replacement hoops from gibraltar or yamaha. Its just facts though hickory is harder than maple so maple will dent and break

  • @dave90mckeague jeez...good thing i haven't bought one yet...xD

  • @masterbeat04 they can do as they're maple and its softer than hickory. one of my new snares has purpleheart hoops which are much harder.

  • @dave90mckeague do they crack if you rimshot a lot?

  • Great snare... I'd like to check the sound with a G1 Coated or an Ambassador Coated as batter.
