    Re: Recording: 3 aluminium snare drums

    Yes, small differences, mostly in the (length of the) sustain sound.

    Re: Drum Room In Band Barn Loft

    OK, I missed the 'banned'.
    If I'm not mistaken the same thing happened on DW forums.
    Must be a Mapex curse.

    Still, a heck of a barn.

    OK, thanks, no problem. In fact, I ordered a Pork Pie vented little squealer from GC a couple of years ago. So it must also have passed through there. Pretty cool.

    Re: Recording: 3 aluminium snare drums

    Interesting - OK, to my ears the 30 degree is tuned a bit higher and has a bit more 'crack' and open sound and the 45 sounds a bit fatter, a more fuzzy attack sound. I like the 30 d better.

    OK, I...

    Re: I Joined the Pork Pie family...

    I've been wondering about stacking drums like this as well.
    Probably chrome (and, much less, drums) can take some abuse but when I check the hardware in my bag you can definitely see more scratches...

    Re: Sultans of Swing by Dire Straights

    The drummer was Cesar Zuiderwijk, he became a member of Golden Earring in 1970 - and still is after 45 years. Considered one of the best Dutch drummers (ever).

    Re: Recording: 3 aluminium snare drums

    No, that would make the comparison too uneven.
    Having said that, the 2 Acro's had coated ambassador as a batter and a hazy as a resonant head.
    The Tama had a factory Tama branded coated Evans G1...

    Re: Recording: 3 aluminium snare drums

    Thanks!





    I think the difference between the 2 Acro's is mostly the sustain, the 'crack' is very similar. That would make the 14 x 6.5 more versatile as you can dampen the sustain.
