I Have Too Many Snares...

[@rdavidr]

is it possible to own too many snares?

[@codyinserra9796]

nah.

[@Oatinator]

No.

[@mysteryfish2043]

not if theyre cheap!

[@a-heart922]

never.

[@joerobinson2545]

No

[@MikeLevitsky]

Whenever I'm sad, I talk to my snares and they always give me some sympathetic vibration. They get me.

Quick comment on the Luddy badges - The Transition series of badges were used between Nov 1958 - Nov 1960 during the brand switch between WFL to Ludwig Drum Co. In that period, you can find drums that mixes WFL and Ludwig hardware

[@TheHellpoy]

The bells are percussionist-gold!

[@eastonotsae]

David : I have too man snares Me wishing I could get a new snare but cant because of Rona

[@e-tube3155]

You can get some online

[@ImSueeb]

reverb.com

[@AdamRainStopper]

@@ImSueeb @E-Tube315 Maybe Easton Mitchell wants to be able to play the snare drum first. I'm a guitar player, but I know that the snare is pretty important to a drummer, and I wouldn't want to buy a guitar without playing it first if I can help it.

[@eastonotsae]

Adam Rainstopper Thats exactly what I want to do. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something from online if I haven't played in person first. Videos usually mix the sounds of the drums and even if they don't they don't sound the same as it would in person.

[@1thess523]

No virus is going to stop me 😤, bought a Yamaha Musashi oak 13x.6. 5 at a pawn shop for $45 amd then scored a 1986 Gallien Krueger 800rb bass head for $125 from a guy off of Offer Up 🤷‍♂️

its always a good day when David posts

Riley Viellion Thank you

[@brengeldelacruz8866]

I saw you on the comment section on drum beats online with the exact same comment

[@howardgreene8720]

Well, you know the joke... How many snare drums does a drummer need? One more!

[@Brewkowsky07]

That Ludwig drum; the painting could be original because the grommet there doesn't look tampered with, or replaced, as best I can tell. The top rim looks to be Slingerland, the bottom looks to be a brass hoop which is most likely original. The paint would be referred to as "Duco," meaning Dupont Company paint (same term is used to often describe the two tone finish on some drums). That transition era badge is between late 1958 and into 1960 when William F Ludwig II bought his name back and began making drums under the Ludwig name again.

[@virtualcircle]

Remo makes specific drum heads for out of round vintage drums and it’s a game changer- Remo classic fit coated or not coated

[@6stixx663]

Seriously do they make them for the kick drum also cus my bass drum hoop is out of round

[@johncollins5552]

That's not the idea , the idea is they fit vintage drums that are not the same diameter as modern drums.

[@oobernoober7617]

David: I have too many kits and too many snares Me: *I HEAR OPPORTUNITY* Just give some away so that you have more room

[@BEElaine1008]

That could be a good idea.... and maybe the winner can decide wha5 type of motif David can add? Or the winner can also help do it.... yeah, I know...after Rona is done wreaking havoc

[@frankspikes7858]

I just sold a snare. Mapex mars pro. First edition.

[@nickferrence8593]

Love your down to earth no fuss insightful videos David. Thanks. Nice buzz cut. Really funny spraying the box ciao

[@frankcouture428]

Nickel plating is put down on the brass before the chrome, that's where the magnetism comes from. Cheers!

[@GoFish.1]

That Pearl snare looks amazing

[@franciscowidmer]

And the sound is killer too...

[@faperito2389]

I have one of those, and they sound amazing. And they're way cheaper than the Ludwig ones, so wiiin.

[@franciscowidmer]

@@faperito2389 Yap, I've a ludwig black Beauty and a Sensitone Elite bronze and I can say that I like more the Ludwig but, the pearl is pretty similar and it costs less than half bb...

[@jacobwanamaker7290]

Tie a string around the bells and the other end tie a pull loop and place it by the door bell button.

[@stephentobias2031]

Had a great drum week myself. Got my first Black brauty. Snagged a vintage gretsch ssb bass drum and scored a Tama royal star in amazing shape just needs to be cleaned

[@judecrawford2351]

I hope parallel universe David is doing okay

[@rdavidr]

lol, im doing fine and staying safe. Again, this was filmed 2 months ago

[@judecrawford2351]

Good to hear David

[@K34tontheKrog]

Hey David, I have an old Tama Imperialstar 10 lug steel snare that I would really like to restore! It needs a lot of work, but I was wondering if I could email you some photos with a few questions?

[@kevinherrington7370]

I have almost the exact same supraphonic, its a 917 too! Easily one of my favorite snares for sure.

[@TheNuncFluens]

The Pearl sensitone aluminum is my favorite snare in the world.

[@KiDLA24]

Did yours come with a muffler?

[@TSSVillains]

cool video, the magnet test for the brass shell was pretty cool too!

[@rocknrolloutlaw6113]

I've also been having the same issue here lately with some people selling stuff on fb or Craigslist.. Seems like they overprice alot of times and sadly they don't even know what they actually have and get offended when you prove otherwise..Its a gamble when meeting up. People are people i guess...

[@ronaldzeoli7528]

Like your Imperial Star snare drum at the end of your video .The Pearl sensitone aluminum is a great snare I think you'll like it . I had a 6.5x14 Pearl aluminum snare drum and I really enjoyed it but I sold it. The Ludwig supraphonic the shell that you have that has a lot of pitting you can have the Chrome professionally removed and then shine up the aluminum shell and it'll look pretty bright give it a shot. That's a pretty sweet 8x15 old Ludwig snare drum you have there, can't wait to see what you do to it and also hear it.

[@martinkent_]

Dude keep making these vids of you selling stuff we love them

[@joerobinson2545]

Ive just ordered an ajax snare to restore and im so happy!

[@billyomer8417]

if you can count how many you have, you have not enough. Texan gun rule

[@billyomer8417]

I come from the UK. No guns unless you own farm or shoot clay pigeons. Or rob banks or deal dodgy drug. Which I do neither of.

[@frankspikes7858]

I just sold an old mapex snare. Sounds great, functions great too. I don't need 7 snares. Lol

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

As far as I'm aware, Rogers drums were only made in the U.S.A. That was until they went belly-up and sold off to Brook Mays in 1998. I believe some of the Rogers Drums I had during the Brook Mays era were maid in Taiwan. In 2006 Brook Mays sold off Rogers to Yamaha who in turn sold them to Dixon in 2017. Rogers Drums are now being handmade by Bill Detamore of Pork Pie Percussion for Dixon.

[@ChaseOfBass_]

Terr Cain they did make their r-360 and r-380 series over seas. The first generation of those was manufactured by Yamaha and then finished in the US in the 1960s. These are really pretty nice drums. The 1980s generation ones are.... bad. This dynasonic however, is absolutely real (aside from the parts he mentioned) and is a rare bird at 6.5 instead of 5.

[@danstephensen9032]

I’m still very happy with my 1966 Rogers Holiday kit. I bought it at age 16. All the stands are replaced and I’m using an AcroLite snare. Still have the DynaSonic but it’s too loud.

[@Chiroman527]

Me: 5 Snares: DW Design Series Nickel over Brass 14 X 6.5 [my favorite}; pdp Concept Maple 14 X 5.5 (came with the PDP 6 Drum Kit I purchased Used last year); DW concept Maple Black Wax 10 X 6.5 Popcorn : Mapex 13 X 3.5 Piccolo ; and a Griffin 13 X 3.5 Piccolo. Except for the Mapex Snare and the DW Popcorn , I replaced the Batter snare heads with Evans HD Dry heads. Stock wires used on all the drums. They all produce "different" sounds. I play solely as a Hobbyist in Retirement (70 YO), and have set up my kit to include playing either the PDP or the DW as my main snare, mount the Popcorn snare on my Hi Hat stand, and either he Mapex or the Griffin as a side snare off the kit. Allows me to add some "spice" when I play to MY MUSIC. My observations : the Pdp Maple, the DW Brass snare, and the Griffin with the HD Dry heads produce the most pleasing sound ( no mics or EQs), to me in my Finished and acoustically untreated Basement. With The Mapex, I use the stock head (Remo UC coated); the DW Popcorn snare has a stock Remo coated that is wearing - just purchased a Remo Controlled sound with center dot head that I will install to see the sound difference. The Piccolo and popcorn snares do add some Flare to the sound as I roll around them for some Fills, especially in the Latin Rock (Santana) plays. Happy Drumming to All. I guess Variety is the Spice To Life.

[@Dave_Dejack]

I see a Terry Bozzio kit in the future!

[@vincentbuonora8477]

...Chrome over brass ....very desire able, worth restoring.

[@TheCzlowiekZagadka]

You can attach these jingles to some kind of drilled cymbal, or stick them with some tape to a normal crash, i think it would sound quite nice.

[@untitled.death_]

“lets check out the snare” “but before we check out the snare..”

[@MeTuLHeD]

Oooo man! I'd put tube lugs on that Supra shell. That would look soooo cool.

[@glennracoma7481]

Question please. I'm attempting restoring a 1960 round badge Gretsch snare. Great snare but it has a finish separation (1.5" bubble). Would you have a way of flatten it back to the wood shell? Thank you. Love your vids on vintage restoration awesome work.

[@JuanGarcia-go5pw]

Turn those bells into ride sizzles on a chain.

[@carterlogan]

I owned a Ludwig snare from this era in this color. It looks factory. It’s the same dark blue as the blue/silver fade duco. Look at the back of the grommet if you want yo know if the badge was removed.

[@pongotv22]

I've got 1 snare and I'm pretty happy with it

[@coreyw5981]

I found a weird 9x13" trans badge stamped in '60, same lugs. It was in shambles then i fixed it up real nice. Cant find any info on it like the shell but damn i love that odd size!!

[@famitory]

best use of rototoms is taking them apart and making spoxe hats.

[@footlongrat2755]

Dave uploaded this on my birthday

[@amwitty_]

My selling ventures include selling a "Revere" snare from a thrift store and a HCS ride, they both sucked so I wasn't expecting to profit but I didn't even break even after paying for shipping. But I bought a Pearl Sensitone Steel and a Tama Imp Star.

[@amwitty_]

Has anyone heard of the brand Revere? I couldn't find any information on that company

[@NEALBABBITT]

Since Rogers is making spare parts again, it's a better time to get Rogers.

[@kerbino26]

I like if you say "i buy it because it's a cheap" 😁, just like what i do when buying secondhand snare or other drum stuff 😁😁, btw very good classic snares...

[@BEElaine1008]

My husband was like that....He’d buy a car just to get the good deal. (and then quip about coupons exist to get you to buy something you don’t need😳)😂

[@JulianFernandez]

good one. thanks!

[@e-tube3155]

I have my record of 3 snares (Maybe if your not using some you could do like a give away)

[@vincent-ow8ss]

E-Tube 315 I have 1 Mendini snare. I started playing about a year and 4 months ago. Actually I have made out standing progress. I play everyday. It sounds egotistical but really I have made crazy progress. I can do blast beats faster than a few metal drummers. I just got a double bass pedal about 3 weeks ago and I can already go about 16th notes of like 70 bpm. I can play lots of slipknot songs and lots of grunge and rock songs. I actually also got an invitation to Rick Allen’s drum school because my dads coworker is Rick Allen’s Aunt. It sounds like a lie but I will probably upload a video on my KZbin Channel which will be my first video.

Looking for a new snare drum and want to stay in the 400$ range. Currently playing a big black brass by pork pie. It has a nice sound but I’m pretty sure it’s warped because the end of the hit on it has a weird wamp noise.
