Hollywood Jim said:. Your comments make a lot of sense. But why no plastic strips? Whenever I see a snare drum in a drum shop and it has plastic strips attaching the snare wires I know that the manufacturer doesn't really understand much about the product they are making or they just don't care and use the cheapest, easiest material they can find.
Badmarx Junior Member. Hi guys, I have been reading this and other forums for a few months now. After a lengthy illness and time away from drumming due to life getting in the way or more to the point, near death getting in the way of living and have finally taken my pearl reference and mapex black panther out of their luggage and started setting up after a seven year absence from playing. The tune bot has really caught my eye and after getting one iv also decided to try Evans skins for the first time.
I'm replacing all skins with g2 coated on the batter and g1 coated on the reso. But iv received the gift of clear resos too. I have 8" 10" 12" rag toms and a 14" floor Tom.
The snare is the gold hardware black wooden premium black panther series. I know the first reference drums were an issue for tuning for some people but I love them and mine have about 4 days playing on them before I went away from drumming for the last few years. Up until then I was a two hours a day kinda guy.
Iv tuned them to ear and love the sound of the coated resos I know this isn't a norm but it's a lovely warm tone with a reduction on overtones and sustain. Which I like but I'm not married to, it was just for the hell of it. For fun and experimenting il be changing heads around to finally get to play with the drums. Thanks in advance and it's amazing to see how much drumming has changed while iv been ill.
Any suggestions will be tried and messed around with as I love playing with tuning in general. I must about the snare is the issue I don't know if it's developed problems while the years rolled by but tuning it isn't going as planned or maybe I'm just out of practice.
I'd just love to hear what sounds those of you that have similar kits have developed as I'm in a rush to catch up and start getting back to a regular session on the chair Thanks mike.
Badmarx said:. Thanks for the welcome and it's great to be back. Yeah I have always tuned by ear but the tune bot is just fun to play with. I'm not worried about the specific tune of the toms just the end result sound and feel. I think it's more important how the drums come across as a kit then if their in a specific key or note. Just trying to see if people have found nice ' sweet spot' settings for their reference toms etc. Truthfully I'm probably being lazy but a starting point to play with the bot.
I must say though that the g1coated as a reso head is really growing on me it's a real nice universal sound. And once I figure out what's up with the snare and get a sound I like I will be happy out.
Because you are musically proficient, does not mean you can or know how to explain how to make a drum sound the way you want it. I felt I could explain it in a way, which was understandable, and with the detail missing from other articles and the typical responses on the subject. Admittedly, the guide that follows is geared more toward the player who is professional or inspires to be professional and wants to know how to achieve control over the drum and drum set sound generated.
This goes into great detail in an attempt to teach those who really want to understand what their entire drum set can do and may have been lost for years wondering why or how certain things work.
It requires time, patience, thinking and work. Difference between heads, when to use what. How microphones affect the choice of heads. The fundamental note of a drum versus pitch and timbre.
