@@Jazzfestn Hey, thanks for chiming in! Appreciate your view on this 🙌

Actually, it IS a student drum. Thanks for chiming in Brian, but you are incorrect. I was on a Jr. High band stage in the 80’s playing an 8-lug Ludwig Acrolite snare drum, just like this one. All the best! 🙌

@@therealjonsmith1 So, the Jazz fest is a student drum. My student drum was a 400. 1969

Thank you! 👍😆

Thanks for chiming in. There are so many tunings and head combinations. I tune down usually, and def need dampening for that. Never noticed the CS dot causing noise. The BFSD can vibrate tho. Also, I’d go through a standard ambassador before the chorus haha. Sounds like you tune higher. Cool. The Acrolite is so flexible. Have a good one 👍

@@therealjonsmith1 you know lately i have been using a Remo Falams 2 on the batter with medium tuning. it has a long sustain (ring) on the fundamental when I gok it. I have triple flanged hoop on batter and a die cast hoop on the snare resonant side. Clear Ambassador snare side head.

thanks!

Hey Tom! That’s cool. I def remember this drum at school and that round black plastic carrying case haha. Thanks for stopping by. Btw, you playing much these days?

Thank Luis!! 💥

Kevin! Thanks brotha. I appreciate the good word. Working on it. Want to see any particular vids?

@@therealjonsmith1 All your videos are awesome. It would be really cool to see the microphones and hardware/plugins you use as well. Maybe a video of your philosophy about mic placement too. Just some inspiration for us less experienced producers. Keep up the good work man!

Thank you Luis 🙌

Thank ya Taylor!

Awesome drums! I’ve heard the black one called a “Blackrolite” haha. Say that three times really fast 😆

Thank you Ed!!

@@therealjonsmith1 I like that 16th note triplet fail with the kick drum Reminds me of that corn song intro word up where he does the same kind of thing with a kick drum it says 16th triplet or maybe 32nd triplet I love triplets good job
