This video is about 6 minutes too long.

@nbryc bumma.

what is the slingerland snare called (late 70's?) and how much are they?

thanks man, good grooves

[idektron]

not sure what the model name is, all i know it is 14x8 about 8 ply maple yep late 70's and cost me about £150 ! Thanks.

[AstralPlane1951]

Rogers Dyna-Sonic # 1,2,3,4, all the rest # 5

[idektron]

yeah i think your right, it was the cheapest too !

[bathtubdiver]

Unfortunately andrewdavies4 hasn't got a clue!

Set sounds really fine. I favor the Slingerland 14x8

[capomundial86]

bad sound quality, poor drummer. why the hell you have such sweet collection if you can't play shit ?

[SonorSonicFan]

It is really hard to tell with such poor sound quality. Some of deeper-toned snares sound better with a bad mic, but if you are going to do a comparison, level the field a bit better and use better mics.

[gnialf]

#1 and #5 sounds great.. but any drum with the right heads and the right tuning can sound good imo, i had an old pearl 14x5 from the late 60's/early 70's in brass.. oh do i miss that one ;)

[ambientgreg]

Dynasonic w/ the Asama in close second.....for today anyway .

[sticksbass]

did they all have the same type heads?

[ephre]

it would appear that the more mindless among us are unhappy with the sound of your Bass Drum? i like a damp thud as much as the next man, but it's all about the mood. perhaps you should all fuck off, detune yr BD and learn to play the resonant way.

if you produced the clips with proper mics they might shut up moaning - it's hard for idiots to listen without aides.

[mapexlb]

hit those drums!.... I don't mind grooving but thats just tapping, drop the hammer on those things and lets hear what they are made of. You are missing half of the drums character hitting them so soft.

1. Slingerland

2. Rogers

3. Ludwig

4. Yamaha, but maybe crank it up

5. Asama, sounds like it need to have the bearing edges done
