i help u ask lah, bee. my teacher is a fan. i'll ask at my lesson tmr :smt003

 

[snowflier]

ooops..double post

Details are scant now. All we know is...

It's a Yamaha wood hoop snare.

But what type of wood? What size? What series?

This is killing me.

 

[plainsman]

wah ... u gals realy like that snare sound ah?

if i remember correctly, its a snare belong to nigel at drum resources. think its DW 14inch x 5.5, if not maybe a yamaha gadd. never asked about what wood though. likely a maple, but my guess as good as urs until we confirm this.

nigel used to often take it out to let people get a feel of wood hoop snare. i used it at a couple gigs that he supported. ok la.. this snare not really my kind of taste, guess its up to personal preference :mrgreen: *sweatdrop*


that said, u must also factor in who is using it, venue and so on. also, the mic-ing technique used.

from what i saw at drumfest, the snare and the snare mic might have not always stay on optimal mic-ing position. a good round tone plus generous strength and stroking will make a lot of difference.

Its a Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute with Wood Hoops. Me and Smildrumz were like straining our eyes looking at the cracked hoops through the video display when I saw the snare badge.

 

[killerbee]

Hehe, ya plainsman, I love that deep fat sound! I hear already I want to hallelujah. :lol:

And OMG! Thank you shred5!

Do you remember if it's a 6.5" or a 5.5"?

Yay! Mystery solved! I can sleep well now.

 

[shred5]

It shld be a 14" x 6.5"... :wink:

[RudimentalDrummer]

Yes - and Drummerzone is the Largest Drum Forum in Europe - almost head to head with Largest Drum Forum in the world DrummerWorld....

We are waiting for DrummerWorld to put it up there for Singapore DrumFest 2007.

 

[Bor]

Awesome! Let's hope that in the years to come, more 'made in Singapore' drummers can leave their mark on the world map of drumming!

 

[zxta]

shiok man!!

 

[RudimentalDrummer]

All I can say really is that Tan Boon had made us all proud (as Drummers In Singapore), as Singapore DrumFest had really put a "Mark" for drumming in Singapore not only locally but on the Drumming World Map, - as the 2 Largest Drummer's Forum in the World put up Writeups, Pictures, Videos (probably later) and Reviews on our - Singapore Drum Festival 2007....

Singapore is a very small country - but at least we are not so small now on the area of Drummings as the Western Drummers now knows that - Drumming Is A Happening Thing In Singapore.

and I strongly believed DrummerWorld would be having something - on our "Singapore Drum Festival 2007" very soon.

Three Cheers To Tan Boon & Singapore DrumFest !!!!!! .... " You Made Us Stand Proud " .

 

[Bor]

Agreed. All this wouldnt have been possible without Tan Boon and gang's effort and generousity. Let's all remember that all this took a huge amount of planning, time and not to mention $$ to put together. As drummers we should be grateful and lets all do our part to support Drumfest 08 and other similar events.

Just a thought though... Is there going to be any DVD released for Drumfest 07? I for one would like to purchase a copy, after all its quite a historical event for drumming in Singapore, and one I am proud to have gone for
