low-bodied power and projection.

Beautiful D! I noticed the badge which mimics the 1960's badge.? When Ludwig states, 'low-bodied and projection' would that be refering to it's lower projections? If so, it sounds like Ludwig designed a metal snare with a combined sound, if I may put it that way, between being metal but also having the richness of a wood sound - which would produce that lower-end projection as they note. This is what I'm thinking here. Would I be correct on that D?

I know about 3 years ago Tama came out with a Brass snare that aimed for that same sound. A friend of mine owns one and claims it does have that combined sound of metal alloy and wood yet weighing in around a ton.

Thanks,

rac

That is exactly right, Rac... Listen to this beast.



Of course this is studio.... But trust me, like two different shades
of blue that have the same hue, work together. This drum, likewise
has a phat snappy bite with that edgey metal character that you're
not gonna get from a wood shell. Again, Ludwig is right at the top
when it comes to metal snare drums. And it's been that way ever
since I've known about them.

Nephew D ... I REALLY like this snare and have seen it in action; though the player playing it tried to use it without playing the "music."

For me, it has the depth of resonance while it can also be tuned for the more brittle/piccolo attack. But why would anyone want one (1) drum to achieve two goals?

... depending on the resilience of the heads already used on the same one (1) drum, I think you'll find this snare's versatility to bring out more of your musicality.

I still miss my Roger's Dynasonic snare, while having my Noble & Cooley. I think what I'm saying is have spare batter and snare heads with smaller drums.

Congrats! Make good use of it.

This snare has what I'm looking for from a brass drum.
Great attack, coupled with a full-bodied round, rich sound.

But why would anyone want one (1) drum to achieve two goals?

The question you pose is like asking someone why he or she
likes a certain color or combination of colors. Or why put a
nail claw on a hammer.... Because it works! At least for some
individuals.

I like the diverse characters this drum offers me. It's that simple.
Please excuse my analogy if your question was more rhetorical.

Thanks for the congrats... And I make good use of all my equipment.

"Cool" without the collateral damage Don.

No damage at-tall, Uncle John...

I'm glad to hear this coming from you Nephew Don!

It'd be hard to resurrect this artifact of mine though - I pulled this Simmons Portakit out again just to play on resilient "pads" and not make noise.



There are many songs on the Byte Side using this trigger contraption with a Korg S-3 sound module. As I trust you'll agree, it's nothing compared to an actual drum kit when mike'd properly...

... yet today when speaking with a pastor in NYC, Norbert Sloley prompted this song to send to him. He's not playing bass on this as he's done with many people till today:

Hi Don! Actually, the Simmon's Porta-kit was only a "trigger" module providing generic sounds unless midi'd with a proper sound module. The one I used was the Korg S-3 that allowed tunable drums (if you can believe that). They were both popular back in the late 80s to early 90s. The sequencing software was TEXTURE - the best one out for IBM/PCs when Apple had the real deal with audio and they're CuBase (also back then).

Glad you liked it. Thanks,
