I have a great collection of Ludwig, Gretsch and DW snares. I’ve not added any boutique snares. Thinking adding some. I’ve looked at many Dunnett snares on reverb but never pulled the trigger.

Great feel and sound 👍🏼

My first choice would be the ribbon....with a bit of eq and compression it sounds like it would work extremely well.

This snare is spectacular, it's a shame it's not available here in Brazil. Taking the opportunity to ask a technical question, of course if you can answer, what are the sound differences between a 14 x 6.5 snare and a 14 x 7 snare? Is there much difference in your opinion? Let's assume that both are made of the same material.

I can’t believe how good these drums sound!

hey mike, what's that snare you're using in this video, it's absolutely amazing, thanks

great sound...................

More of those, please! Wishing you nice and relaxing holidays!

The all situations snare is my Bucks County Macassar ebony ohhhh yesssssss🥁🔥

Sounds awesome!! Your kit sounds soooooo good. Merry Christmas thanks for everything you do bro Merry Christmas to you and your family all the best🥁🔥truly appreciate you

Thank you for all the great content this year Merry Christmas to you and your family. Edit: Love the snare. Hi ho ho.

I’ve been lucky enough to own one of these snares since ‘08. I’ve never used the FibreSkyn diplo on it, but have used an Aquarian Modern Vintage, and all manner of Remo and Evans on this drum. If you want fat, full and low it can do it. If you want beautiful popping rimshots with really pleasant harmonics after the backbeat, it’s got you covered. It’s LOUD though! If you want the drum to speak it is super responsive and if you’re a heavy player and you want that snare to stick out in your acoustic balance this drum has that in spades. Conversely, at low volume levels or with brushes the high sensitivity translates to fantastic clarity. It’s really an awesome instrument. Sadly the namesake of the company Mr. Fidock passed away and the company is no more today. RIP Stephan Fidock

Crazy bleed but the kit sounds great. Snare could use one piece of tape right near the rim. Is that you counting or is that a metronome sound?

Sublime- what I got

👽

Old school Tom mounts will deaden the tone!

One of the Best streams I’ve seen today.😊

Nothing like a great shuffle! Cheers. Your technique and musicality are fantastic.

Dude don’t float your leg up in the air on #15. Leg stroke n first plant heel, dribble like a basketball the rest of those notes. They won’t be uneven.

thank you

I really enjoy these videos. I learn so much more from watching unedited practice sessions where people focus on what they need to improve, compared to the typical 'learn this easy fill to sound like an advanced drummer' videos.

That fill at 1:40 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Awesome vibe❤

Learning this at the moment for gigging with my band, and had most of it down but came here to check out the nuances of fills and some of the details that Vannucci does. I've managed to pick up quite a few which has been great. I think your drumming is very professionally executed by the way. Simply brilliant. Thank you Mike for taking the time to make this video, and even though it's 9 years old I'm sure there's still many people like myself from across the world, that will never meet you, you'll never know, but you've helped them and I just wanted to call it out. All the best sir. Love and appreciation from Central Scotland.

yeah that's gary path to linear drumming!!! and great snare sound.... which brand and model??? paolo from italy

Great vod!

It sounds exactly like any another snare with same dimentions 😂

Using buzz kills on the batter head for a drum tuning video? Come on, that's crap and does not provide an accurate representation of the drum sound. It's not that difficult to tune a snare drum properly without buzz kills.

Best drum solo EVER

I bought a Big Bob about 3 weeks ago, to replace my current pearl snare , It sounds awesome. check one out if you have not heard one yet.

It needs an emperor COATED.....but depending on sound ya want...

Only vintage supraphonic will get that Bonham sound period...

Whoever mic'd that bass drum needs a raise 👀

it's clobberin time!!

Why no left foot HH on the down beats?

hom much hours per day should i DO EXERCISES or just playing drums to become a pro?

That was awesome Mike! I need to write that all down.

Can you post a download link with a PDF of this workout ?? That would be great !! Thanks

I used to do a similar exercise every day, but actually, I quit playing this past year. (After playing in bands since 1977.)

I miss Mike and Mike.

Daniel is the expert on the shuffle and its place in drumming history. If any of your followers haven't yet read Daniel's brilliant book "The Commandments of Early Rhythm and Blues Drumming" it's time to. A must read for every drummer. Thanks for posting. Cheers!

Good stuff. Thanks

Awesome! My local teacher here in Phoenix is the drummer for Louis Prima Jr. He taught me the "Prima shuffle" a while back, and it's been finding its way into a lot of my shuffle-based tunes. It's a fun variation!

YEAH!!!!

Nothing better than a shuffle to really lock in, they feel so good to play.

My favorite snare!

Deep.👍👍👍

I was sorry to see Nick stop making cymbals. They're fantastic. I was lucky to grab one early on. Cheers.
