  • The Paiste equivalent: Formula 602 Mediums. Thanks for watching

  • hmmm...ill just have all 3 how about that

  • @gshdrums Good idea! Thanks for posting. 

  • Fantastic recording! And I love the COB. Just ordered a 5x14 Supra COB B/O badge snare. Your vid convinced me )

  • @downjones72 Pleased to hear it. How's the supra? Thanks for posting.

  • Is it just the tuning, or do all acrolites have that PING sound? To my ears the second two didn't have that out of control PING after the attack...

  • @prehistoricpain Well yes they do. But It's controllable with a little damping - like a moongel. Still a great drum to play. Thanks for posting

  • Do you have a vintage Ludwig 402? It would be nice if you could make a sound sample of one. There is no really good quality sound sample of one on YouTube.

    I really like your drums and videos. I hope you can help me.

  • I have fallen in love with Ludwig snares ... that is gonna cost me ... shit.

  • Who clubs ya, baby?

  • All 3 are beautiful, versatile, snares! What hi-hats were used here also? Sound like New Beats.

  • Reminds me of marching band back in the day,good stuff!Thanks man!

  • @J0B0S0 Nah Man! Have faith... look out for Acrolites you CAN find NICE sounding ones cheaply.

  • Good playing dude. And I love that snare. But I prefer it in the 5 in. . Either one is wonderful..

  • From your website, I see you have a GLX kit. That was the kit I drooled over when I was a kid.

  • wow, great snare drums!!

  • Love the Acrolite! What is it about those cheap aluminum snares that sound so good? I might kill the ring a bit in the studio or a quiet situation. But with other musicians in the background, just let it sing.
