[@brandonmclendon5368]

This sounds like something you’d hear in those drum n bass songs.

[@gitsurfer27]

That's a good point. They're typically sampled and sped up, increasing the pitch, so a small snare with a little jingle jangle would work pretty well.

[@AgonalRhythm]

Drummers who play a lot in the drum and bass style in the kit tend to have a ton of different snares, tambourines and sizzles for the different break sounds. Often they'll have much smaller bass drums (14-18) and maybe one tom max. Check out people like Johnny Rabb, Jojo Mayer, Dan Mayo, Ian Maciak and Peter Szendofi for killer examples

Man your production is getting better and better! Love the idea of the tambo snare but would use this specific one as aux/fx snare only because of the sound. But the idea of combining proper snare a tambo is genious! Keep groovin'!!

[@flocore]

Sonor built this about 20 years ago! It was called the 'Jungle Snare' (10x2"). Nice little drum.

4:54 you just gave me ultimate nostalgia man, one of my first drum professors ever played along to this because I was a huge anime nerd and had this track on my mp3 back in the day.

Zack, please do a walkthrough of how you tune your drums. I mean the entire kit. I have seen the snare tuning vid and I'm quite curious how you tune the rest of the the kit. I'm a guitar player and I'm looking to start playing drums. I have no idea what to do yet. So yeah, at least I'd tune them right :))

[@TakoNekko]

Really interesting. While you were unboxing it, I was thinking that it's pretty one dimensional and a little gimmicky. But once you replaced it as your first tom, it brought a creative sound to the music. Pretty cool! And I will say go orange because I would normally say the blue, but I'm trying to think different and go against my own advice. :P

[@azj1467]

[@nameralashun]

Child of mine. I miss you!

[@InsaneDrumer18]

That usage of the tambo snare as a regular tom really opens up interesting ideas. I kinda thought it would be over the top and clashing with the main snare but it comes out as a different texture and adds up nicely! Really cool concept. Oh and Zack be my sugar daddy and pls send me that tuning key!

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

Oh…he set his Tom’s up like quads. I used to do that back in the day but wanted to be like everyone else so I kinda abandoned it. But…I’m slowly getting back to that Tom set up because it just flows better. And the clarity.

[@brodyh2895]

this is a cool concept but honestly i feel its a waste without better execution! when I think of a snare that needs a tamborine texture I think of a deep punchy PFFFT snare, would love to see this concept executed with a bottom head. It might also just be that I don’t really like snares with a single head, but that's just me.

[@xscapegalaxies]

zack: gets Dixon stuff Also zack: I’m not really endorsed by Dixon

[@listenchump4041]

Incredible drumming again, but the cymbals placement is hurting my eyes. Giving your crashes and rides so much angle and balancing them like that is the perfect recipe for cracking at the hole.

[@LaCiave_]

Excuse me, but was the background music whilst changing the snare: "Dumb Ways To Die"? ICONIC ZACK!! Loved the drumming and vid 🙃

someone should tell Dixon that that's a TAMBOURINE! Invented by Billy Tambourine in 1784

Them cymbal felts look like something you would find in the vacuum compartment of a clown car next to an air horn or sumn XD

[@mnspstudioful]

That tambo snare excelled, imo, when you were playing the higher speed and rimshots on it. Switching it out for a span of high bpm music might be very interesting in a set. But otherwise, it sounds too dry compared to the timbre of the rest of your setup. It's like adding the Louis Cole kick sound to your set; interesting, but it would clash unless used in sets where the speed of your play is deadening the usually warmer, naturally reverb heavy and incidental splash sounding set. You can't add a Hello Kitty snare to a fully outfitted Gretsch kit and expect it to sound like it was meant to be there.

Hey zack as a suggestion u should use it as a secondary snare , maybe clamped onto your hi hat stand and then mic it with your custom sm57. This way u get the crispness of the tambo snare captured from the sm57. Also I dont ever win any type of giveaways and honestly I really need a drum key tbh.
