Pork Pie Acrylic Snare
- Thread starter wiremesh
- Start date
yo dude... can order online. i saw a pork pie acrylic on musiciansfriend.com and it was quite cheap (not factoring in shipping) comparable with the prices of metal and wooden snares (or cheaper!) found in yamaha and swee lee.
one word of warning - acrylic drums are not for everyone. the sound is very unique and different, so you might wanna find sound clips, or find people who have them and try it out before making the purchase.
yeah they're very, very boomy... haha i love lang's snare sound too... esp his aux snares!

I rather like Pork Pie snares. I have the 13x7 little squealer which I got off eBay too for under USD$200, and I'm still quite pleased with it. If the seller won't ship here then use vPost (tell him he can keep the hardcase!)

vPost (www.vpost.com.sg) is a service that allows you to get US sellers and merchants to ship your items to a US address and it will then forward the items to you in Singapore for a fee that is weight- and volume-dependent.
Haha my Pork Pie is the one with the 30 vent holes. Sounds great but could do with a mic-up for those outdoor gigs.

There are some pretty reasonable price pok-pie transparent snare at ...e-bay - There is a yellow one now ending soon - very nice.eeeeeeeee
um..if that's the same one i'm seeing, it's not yellow. it's clear. it's just the lighting that makes it look yellow haha.
eh but bidding on ebay damn stressed one leh. cannot concentrate in lectures/tutorials in school, then cannot sleep well also will keep waking up to check the bid aha.
MF doesn't ship to SG... but vPost leh? cuz MF will ship to a vPost address, before it's shipped to sg right?
Any bros can clarify this? If that's true, then I might get my stuff from MF... the prices there are WAY cheaper than SG, even if i ship in alone.

try using Auction Sniper (www.auctionsniper.com) or an equivalent service. i can't eBay without it, haha.
and also, be wary of using vPost to ship from online music retailers like music123 or musiciansfriend, because you have no control over how they package the item. i once bought a piccolo snare off music123 and it came in a large box almost 3 times the height of the drum's box that was inside..that translated to some degree of being ripped off on shipping.
