Members lsits Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 The correct number of snare drums one needs is n+1, where n=the number of snare drums you currently own. I have two: a Pearl Chad Smith steel and a Rogers Holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members skinthrasher Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 In order from most to least favorite: 1. 6.5 x 14 Pearl Masters Custom maple 2. 5.5 x 14 Ludwig Acrolite 3. 5.5 x 14 Slingerland C.O.B 10 lug 4. 5.5 x 14 Slingerland C.O.B 8 lug 5. 5.5 x 14 Mapex birch (it came with my M- Birch set) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kmart Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 In order of use: 1) 6 1/2x14 Ludwig hand hammered Black Beauty; used 99% of the time 2) 6x14 10-ply Mike J Drums (my best friend's fledgling company) 10-ply Keller shell w/re-rings, tube lugs & diecast hoops, green sparkle wrap, custom build to spec, Serial #001. Also referred to as "The Loudness" 3) 70's 5x14 Ludwig Vistalite - blue 4) re-issue 6 1/2x14 Ludwig Vistalite - blue 5) 5x14 junk generic steel shell I found in an alley in college and hammered back out to round/rebuilt 6) 7x13 dDrum Dominion ash in java sparkle 7) 6x14 Pearl of some sort which I'm not familiar that I got as part of a trade 7-8 years ago. Don't much like the sound of it, but also haven't spent any time with it. Tension controls on both sides of the snare, but they look/feel cheap, so I'm guessing entry or mid-level quality at best. 8) That's it right now; got rid of a couple other vintage drums I'd had last year.

Members fesswrx Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 I own 4. In order of most used to least used. 1.) 6.5x14 Ludwig Black Magic (Gets the most use. It does everything I want it to do and more) 9.5/10 2.) 5.5x14 Perl Sensitone Elite Custom Alloy (Great snare for recording but doesn't project well live un-miced) 3.) 5x14 Ludwig Acrolite (Everyone should have at least one. Good back up snare) 4.) 6.5x14 Tama Metalworks 10-Lug (Just picked this one up on the cheap.

Members boomerweps Posted October 11, 2010 Members Share Posted October 11, 2010 Ludwig Acrolite, Blacro 5x14, S-Hoop on top. (primary gig snare) I replaced the missing muffler when I bought it used. And, yes, I LIKE and use that muffler. Pearl Sessions "jazz special edition" shell (really an Export luan shell w/ Session hardware) with Mastercast hoops and Black Swamp snares. Evans, E-ring for anti-ring. (Previous gig snare, still used for quieter rooms) WorldMax brass Battered Hawg, hammered 6.5x14, diecast hoops. Love the strainer, shell is a tiny bit oversized for my normal heads (Attack TB sigs) ;>( Premier Olympic steel 5x14 w/ Slingerland style stick saver hoops (inward top flange). Pawn shop special, originally hade metric hoops too big for standard heads. Was my gig snare for a long while, now on the home practice set. just a great basic steel snare. Pearl Firecracker 5x10 steel popcorn snare. Only used now and again for a side snare and latin beat songs. Partly bought as a replacement snare for my 4yo grandson's 12x4 snare on his rebadged import "Ludwig" kiddie kit. The 12" was too big to wrap his legs around to get to the pedals ;>) ALL 14" snare have Attack TB Signature snare head sets on them. WorldMax is 10 lug, all other 14"s are 8 lug. Makes for ease of swapping out rims and snare wires. I have a 42 strand that I have used on the Blacrolite. Boomerweps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
