Best snares on the market today for the overall sound, functionality and price.

I'm old enough to have played the original Dyna-sonics, beginning around 1968. Over the last couple of years, I bought both the brass 5 X 14 and the wood 5 X 14. Love 'em. Thanks to Rogers USA, Steve Maxwell and everybody involved. I use the new Dyno-matic pedal too. I played the original Swiv-o-matics forever, but playing one today would mean 50 year-old needle bearings. (!)

Thanks for sharing!

It is great to see you posting regularly again, nobody does equipment reviews better than you Mike! I have the 5" in the same color and I love that drum. It plays really well for low volume gigs, very articulate.

[@MikeDawsonDrums]

Thanks Lou! Great to hear from you. I have about 50 more drums to get through so buckle up. 😂

[@noostrings]

I have the 14x5 and as someone who only normally plays metal drums, this is the only wood drum i play. It just feels great to play

[@mdec2693]

nice. I got the 8x14 brass. could you do a tuning video for these 2 snares. great video thanks

[@MikeDawsonDrums]

Will do!

When I was in 7th grade (87-88) a kid in band class had a Dynasonic, I had an acrolite but I always played his because it sounded so sweet compared to mine.

[@FrogMagus]

I LOVE IT.

[@MikeDawsonDrums]

Name this movie: "I've been swimming in raw sewage...I love it!"

[@carlupthegrove262]

I own the 6 1/2 and I love it. It's a great snare, as you note it's best at high tension. I like that because I can get a great snare sound at a 'low' volume.

[@MikeDawsonDrums]

Totally agree!

[@roybeckerman9253]

Are you tightening the bottom head, every time you tighten the top head..?

[@MikeDawsonDrums]

No. I rarely touch the bottom head once it’s tuned the first time.

[@DrummerDanVa]

Does the snare design eliminate a lot of the annoying snare buzz when hitting toms? I guess you basically answered that near the end. 😊

[@jeremy20100712]

I also have a 14x6.5 Dynasonic (red onyx) and love it, but your 14x5 inch drum blew me away. Time to raid the piggy bank!

[@MikeDawsonDrums]

Yeah the 5” is my fave.

[@christophrogers7248]

The snare is awesom... but you must work on the bass drum sound... its like your beater is hitting the mic... :-)

[@roybeckerman9253]

Internal muffler…. NO gel or tape required…😊
