    Default VIDEO - Yamaha Dave Weckl Signature Snare w/Russ Miller Groove Wedge

    As requested by drumnpk, here is a review of my circa 1990 14x5 Maple Yamaha Dave Weckl Signature snare. I'll admit I did get this drum because of the name on it (which I don't recommend these days), but I was 15 or so and impulsive. I lucked out, because this is the best sounding snare I have ever played. The dual strainer design lets you tune one set loose and one set tight for a really nice blended sound. The snares are original and getting a bit stretched out, but replacements are $40 EACH, so I'll stick with them for now. I think I paid $600 for it. The new ones go for $700+, are 5.5" deep, have absolute lugs, and are flat black. There was a steel model at one time, but they are really hard to find. they come in 13" as well.

    This video was shot with the Zoom Q3. I normalized the audio, but didn't process it any other way.

    Great video Shane! It showed not only the what the snare could do for you, but also a bit of what you could do with the snare. Well done!

    Thanks gentlemen. I get a week off for Christmas/New Year, and I plan on doing a few more video reviews of my favorite stuff.

    I'm still playing with the best way to process the video from this camera. It looks good straight out, but I need to normalize the audio so I take it into Adobe Premiere. I haven't got the video output settings correct yet. If anyone knows anything about this stuff please send me a note.
