Great groove, Matthias. As always, quality work. We've been missing your videos. You must be busy.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thank You Jeff! As mentioned in the community post, I got new network & unfortunately have some physical problems. But it's getting better so I will move on recording new videos soon. :-)

Had to try real hard to hear the benefits of the X Click to no avail. Proper snare drum tuning and proper stick control are King! I really wanted to see it as a good thing, promise I did. Nice drumming though!

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Thanks for checking out the Test Video. I have to agree that the X-Click to my ears is a great addon to use on 13" Snares or smaller. On the 14" (with Die-Cast Hoops) it is not really an upgrade. But I use it now on the 13" Yamaha Recording Custom Brass and it works great!

[@tophatjohnny]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic I can see that! Currently have a live woodblock with a small piece of a paper towel stuffed inside and my left foot handles that with of course a wood beater! Together with rim shots on the snare are incredible!

I tried one in real life and they really add that extra meat. Even on 14” snares. The copper ply helps getting more projection compared to a regular x stick groove or even the original Groove Wedge. I do think the price could he a bit lower, especially for the Mundo, even compared to used Yamaha Groove and Cascara wedges they are still quite expensive.

That third set of grooves was tasty.

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thanks so much

Nice playing! I actually came up with an idea like that Mundo thing in my imagination where I could play the side of the floor tom & not hurt it. I didn’t know anyone actually made one, though! I’m gonna search for it online now & order one if I can

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

thank you! Yes it's basically the relaunch of the Yamaha Groove Wedge & Cascara Wedge. These have some copper inlays which the older ones did not have.

[@JaxonHaze]

It looks like this one goes lower than the cascara wedge, which is good- more playing area. It’ll work on a 14” floor, right? I think yours was on a 16”

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

@@JaxonHaze it covers 17,5cm (6,89 inches) of the drum. The mounts can be adjusted to fit different size drums. So it will fit a 14" floor tom as well. in the ad it says 14"-18" floor toms. I have it on my 16", correct.

[@JaxonHaze]

Thanks so much for the info! I’m gonna order one today

I was wondering if this might work as a stick saver for rimshots on an A&F snare? The rim just shreds sticks if rimshotting, seems like this might work if it’s not too tall? Thoughts? Great last name, too! ❤

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

Hi Knorr-Brother ;-) I didn't check that out actually; playing Rimshots on it. It wobbles a tiny little bit because it's mounted with 2 bolts and 2 rubber rings to the aluminum hooks. So it might not be sturdy enough to withstand the impact of rimshots. I personally only use it on 13" or smaller Snaredrums. For my 14" Snaredrums (which are fittet with Aluminum DieCast Hoops) the difference in sound is not big enough.

[@musikman337]

I think if it had a certain channel hollowed thru the center of it then itd definitely be a worthy purchase

[@MatthiasKnorrMusic]

That’s interesting, maybe I should use my Dremel Tool and find out if this works 🤔

[@musikman337]

@@MatthiasKnorrMusic no doubt it will

No problem, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Thanks for watching
