So happy to hear you reference Krupa's phenomenal tom sounds on Sing, Sing, Sing. I've always found this particular 13m piece to be, probably, the most 'interactive' playing I've heard. His sudden, explosive accents, rim/stick shots, and tom ostinatos underneath the band are something I think every drummer should learn from; not the style, for that's gone its way; but, Krupa brings this style to life. His listening throughout the piece provides points of interactive explosions. Yeah for sure, I dig mostly modern sounds, and I kind of have to defend myself to other musicians when talking about this 1938 piece of wonder. But, just Krupa's interactive listening and responses - as well as his anticipation of important cadences still blows me away.

Metal snare for me. The brushes on the wooden shell seem to disappear, though that could be because my ears are no longer up to wooden dry subtlety. Absolutely love the break out on both drums into the funk and latin. This is an absolute masterful drummer. Listen to the musical phrasing. Drumeo has nothing on this. Superb.

The royal ace sounds much crispier than the Gretsch. I like it better, although I dream of getting a 6,5x14” 4155 Gretsch snare. Both are great! I currently have a boutique 5,5x14” solid block snare drum with wood hoops, all Brazilian wood. And a 1971 Premier COA 2000 5x14” (I think) that has a similar strainer and a crisp sound just like yours! Great video Rick, keep it up!

Great playing and the Premier drum sounds great. Quite high like Ben Riley with Monk. What's the interval between top and bottom snare head if you don't mind me asking?
@rickdior3 жыл бұрын
Hi The interval is a minor 3rd. A natural on top, F# on the bottom. Thanks Rick

Hello Rick..new subscriber. I just watched the wood vs metal snare comparison. I really enjoyed that. I have snares and kits from Gretsch and Premier. I think both companies have great drums. I was excited to see the Gretsch centennial kit ! I had a chance to buy one new at Paragon Music in Tampa Florida. I couldnt afford it and that broke my heart. Such is the plight of a young poor man. Which kit did you get ? The one at Paragon was number 14. Still have never seen a more beautiful kit. Seems it was a 6 piece kit if I remember correctly.

Hi Bruce My set is #47. It's the only one I have seen in these sizes (jazz kit) but maybe there are others. It's a 5 piece.

Rick, i have a 71' ludwig supra and a 61 jazzfest. What other vintage snare would you suggest i look at? Rogers powertone? Slingerland hollywood ace?Yahama recording custom? What would be your suggestion?? Any kinds, not just the ones I listed.

You might want to look at a brass or copper drum that would have a different character than those two you already own. I like the old Pearl Marvin Smitty Smith snare and a Slingerland brass Sound King Krupa drum is a good drum that's easy on the wallet.

You need to try a Canopus Zelkova if you want to hear a loud wooden snare drum.
