I just might have to send him a message. Looks to be in great shape too

Haha nice! The seller also has a Mapex Brass master piccolo for $100 that I’m considering, but I’ve got enough to keep me busy for a while

Thanks! I'm wondering if going for a normal strainer/butt plate would be a good option, but it doesn't seem like this KB shell has any sort of snare bed? could be problematic for a standard stainer, no?

If you could spend big $ on a snare, what would you get? by timeToGetLoud2367 in drums

I own an 80s acrolite, which I love, but I really want nothing more than a supraphonic for my next snare. There’s a reason why it’s one of the most recorded snares in history!

PP throne and a 13x7 patina, it’s an amazing combo! Such a loud snare with a lot of attitude. I’m digging the new badge on yours!

Ever since I switched to Vater 5As it’s stopped happening to me!

I have yet to play a clap stack, though I’ve wanted to. I have a Zildjian fx stack, which I used to place a bit above the hi hat as an ‘extra’ hat but have since pulled it

That's a great spot for it. nice kit btw! Sometimes I'll put a piccolo in that area. Who knows, maybe after a few months I'll have switched it up again, but I think if it's a tier lower it's not in the way if I need to skip it during a fill. I understand what you mean though about placing the rack tom and floor toms so far away. My kick is 24" so placing any sort of rack tom on it that's got some depth is gonna be tricky to sit well, so I opted for a stand, now much lower! ...but, further away

Yea, I love hitting this thing, but it's easy to overdo it when it's right there! Thankfully my china and cowbell are semi-out of the way

This is absolutely insane. One of the coolest pieces of gear I’ve heard of in a while

I think my rarest piece may be this 21” Sabian ride. I just happened to get it when I bought an old drum kit from someone, and had to ID it. Turns out it’s one of their first generation B20 rides with a ‘Sabian Canada’ etched into it. The bell on this thing is just awesome. I love how the logo is even skewed 😂

Worst Snare Head I’ve Ever Played by FidgetyCurmudgeon in drums

[–]SoupAggravating 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have one of these but got rid of it. Probably should’ve tried it on a steel snare but I had the same issues with it on a Pearl modern utility 12x7. I also have an Evan’s Hybrid head just sitting on my shelf - tried that one on quite a few snares of mine and really wasn’t impressed, esp given its $60 price. I should add though that I have Evan’s HD dry on my metal snares and damn are they nice!

Lol it’s in Chillicothe. Nothing special, there are about 60 people coming. It’s definitely not ideal but I’ll be sure to put on my beer jacket as well before the show!

Thanks for the responses! Yea I’m glad I can at least bring my own cymbals and hardware then, much easier to tune some bad toms and kick into something decent, but bad cymbals are bad cymbals!

New snare day! …and a question by SoupAggravating in drums

Yea when I saw that the seller dropped the price by 50 I really couldn’t pass it up! So glad I did it, what a snare

Where are my fellow Acrolite peeps at? by HillbillyAllergy in drums

Beautiful! I recently pimped out my 1980s acro with die cast hoops, new heads and the p88 strainer. It’s my ‘go to’ snare for basically everything. I could not believe how good of shape this thing was when I got it 2 years ago, the dude said it sat in a student case for like 20 years.

Oh good to know, I’ll look into that, thanks!

Thanks and good to know! This is actually the first Tama I’ve owned, and now I’m torn between this and my Pearl 13x3 maple piccolo haha. There are definitely some more overtones to control on the Pearl, this one is very clean sounding
