Snare Drum Talk

[blissuicide]

Cant compare to those snares, i mean those are premium-priced snares with bells and whistles but tis one is well worth the money for the quality they are showing. And u can get DW snares lower than 1.3k. :lol:

 

[sadisticnoob]

but then if i get a dw i cant even test it so why shld i get it ...?

 

[blissuicide]

Hmm, really good music stores do allow testing. Ive tested every one of my DWs b4 buying. So, if u stumble into a store tat dun allow testing in the first place, then jus shun them.

 

[sadisticnoob]

i onli noe the shop at penisula sells dw snare are there otheres?

 

[blissuicide]

Alamak, tat one is marked-up and barely has got any choices. Go to Ranking at Bras Basah.

 

[sadisticnoob]

wow swee lee also close can go compare ......btw the old uncle at swee lee damm good ..the electrionic drum he sell me like S$700 i was like wtf .. but nvm i got a roland

 

[blissuicide]

But nutin much to compare, they dun quite carry similar items..

 

[sadisticnoob]

but i tink ranking looks vetter the service is like much better than swee lee

 

[blissuicide]

Tats a definite..

Tats a definite..

yes rankin's service is better, but then i don't like the way they treat the cymbals man. have u seen the signature heavy ride? it has dings all over the bow... and some of the coated heads i bought frm them were defective. when i opened it up there were some parts that flaked off man.

urgh i was too lazy to check so its technically my fault. but still...

i think nigel's shop is good. i bought a few items from him and his service was the best outta the few shops there are.

Well, for some products, yep but not too sure bout the signature ride. I mean, they called me on the first day of shipment arrival and i went down. Take a look at the stocks and already noticed the dings on tat cymbal. Well, lets assume its the same cymbal tat ur tokin abt, but i tink it is, a Dry Heavy aint it? So it mite not b their fault.

[marcdadrummer]

wow swee lee also close can go compare ......btw the old uncle at swee lee damm good ..the electrionic drum he sell me like S$700 i was like huh .. but nvm i got a roland

700 for a td-3 mate??

 

[blissuicide]

wah blissy, this looks like building up to be comprehensive snare thread?? :lol:

Lol, still not comprehensive enuff and its not only snares we are tokin here, haha. Yea lets make it more detailed. BTW yep, tats a nice snare line introduced by Tama few mths back. Consist of four models wif the most ex being tat Praetorian model shown above, a bell brass shell. And yea, design wif metallers in mind, esp those war-metal bands like Bolthrower fits real well here. Would b damn corny if ur using tis for jazz though..

Hmm perfect snare for dragonforce eh but i wonder who one earth will know you're using that warlord snare if you're giggin on stage. unless you stand up and yell, "HEY BI*CHES CHECK OUT MY WARLORD SNARE!!!" real loudly. :lol:

Sigh but I don't mind messing around with it lah. Sadly I doubt I'll have the chance to cuz swee lee probably won't import it in eh.

I'm dying to get myself a Black Panther maple snare though.

Well, they mite soon have it, after all, they do Tama. But dun tink it will b the Praetorian. Even SL doesnt bring in the famed Tama bell brass snare. Well, the Valkyrie is nice too...

 

[ahpek1]

They do bro. I bought my Freaking Heavy Tama Bell Brass Snare from swee lee.

 

[blissuicide]

Ah ok, guess i missed on tat one in a million instance. Nice snare man, bro. And oh ya, they cost a pretty penny too, aint it bro...

 

[ahpek1]

Ya man. I bought it 2 yrs back and it cost me 1.1k. You can get it cheaper if you buy with the normal tiple-flanged hoop. Mine comes with Bell-brass cast hoop.
