| Great stuff Russ, well said..
My main snare and the one i'll take to my grave is a Tama Gibraltar 14" x 8" deep. It has a black gloss finish with metal flakes. A heavy drum to cart about but worth it. I use an Aquarian coated head with power dot on underside and FatCat snares. I like the versatility of this drum and it's warm tone. It speaks from quietly to loud, quite fat and warm but still cuts through with nice cross stick and rim shot sounds ( due to the cast hoops i guess).
My other drum , a bit more cutting but still has a warm tone, fitted with same head and snare, and lug locks. It is a Tama 6 1/2 bronze, a great all purpose drum too. |
