I Have Too Many Snares...

This month is fully of exciting deals! I bought a bunch of snares, a Rogers, Ludwig, Pearl, and the list goes on. On top of that, I traded for some roto-toms for some octobans, or well deccabans... I sell and old floor tom. Talk about my bad luck with Craigslist and eBay. Sell some drum parts from my hoard on Reverb and so much more!

[@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.

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]

[@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 🤷‍♂️

[@howardgreene8720]

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

[@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.

its always a good day when David posts

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

[@judecrawford2351]

Good to hear David

[@MichaelDBauer]

Sorry, rdavidr, but you can't have too many snare drums. Or cymbals.

[@BEElaine1008]

I’m thinking he has more cymbals than snares ?

[@ecampbell6447]

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

[@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?

[@maluorno]

I can vicariously satisfy my inner hoarder thru you, Dave. :^V

[@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.

[@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

[@TheHellpoy]

The bells are percussionist-gold!

[@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.

[@nickferrence8593]

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

[@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.

[@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...

[@davidmcaninch4714]

All musicians, whether they are drummers, guitarists, bassists, singers, violinists, saxophonists, trumpeters, percussionists, or even kazoo-ists, have Gear Acquisition Syndrome, or GAS. There is no cure for it.

[@rulap6728]

Yes you do, so can you by any chance know if one misses cause i might steal one from your basement.

[@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...

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

[@untitled.death_]

I have a pair of new 15" pinstripe heads, text me if you want them...

[@rizkyrizky9350]

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😳)😂

[@cameronbarber3768]

I'd be willing to take some of those snares off your hands!

[@kushking420]

Damn i only have three snares, and one of them i don't like or use. 10" Pearl firecracker but it's poplar bought it when i was 14 for 90$. Anything with poplar is a huge turn off for me

[@derreckossas4951]

Hi dave

[@lordofedginess9605]

did you ever make the bells usable, and if so, where would I be able to snag a set?

[@blasborygmi]

Share it, aren’t snares supposed to be shared?

[@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

[@kevinherrington7370]

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

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.

[@joelmiller3095]

I actually have that same 15x8 snare but mine has no paint on it other than that it looks the exact same

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.
