I have my normal Swee Lee special discount bro. If not, it will cost a bomb and i won't buy it.

 

[kari_convention]

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

whoa ahpek.. $1.1k for a bell brass snare is really a steal... i know one of my US drummer friends spent almost $1.3k USD on a brass bell snare. And another drummer on a US forum that I frequent actually bought himself a paiste snare... spirit of the cymbal or something like that. It weighs a TON and costs a BOMB.

and yes, i'll third the vote for ahpek to post photos of his snares to keep us drooling!

 

[ahpek1]

Tama Bell Brass snare is not that expensive if you compare to us-made or european-made Bell Brass Snare. Tama Bell Brass Snare with normal hoops is selling about 600-700 at Swee Lee i think..
Go check it out la, don only read :lol:
Some of the members here knows my collection of drums but nowadays, quite bz with work la, not much time to hang out etc...

guys, i want ur opinion on this one.

my snare is PBZ65 Tama Bronze 6.5" X 14" snare with Mighty Brass Hoop. bought at SL last year during their end year sale. This snare now using it's stock G1 coated skin and it is too freaking loud for me and I have to use the plastic ring to reduce the unwanted ring and buzz and reduce some volume. But the problem with plastic ring is... when I play the cross stick at snare. The plastic ring will accidentally picked by my stick when I switched to normal playing.
So.... can u guys suggest heads that will reduce the unwanted buzz and reduce some of its volume for this snare without using the plastic ring.
Thanks.

 

[blissuicide]

U mite wana check out ST Dry or HD Dry.

 

[joshie]

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.

haha the aircon water dripped all over the cymbals man.

 

[joshie]

hm looking into getting a good maple snare for myself, you guys got any suggestions?

Actually, one muffling technique I've heard used by pros in the studio is placing a wallet on the snare, I've tried it and it works pretty good

What a friend did in your situation was that he glued the ring down!

 

[Frummer]

yo guys.

check out this snare:

ddrum domion maple 6 ply 9mm thick 13x5

the other snare im eyeing is obviously the black panther natural maple 13x5.5...5.1mm maple

http://www.massmusic.net/shop/?shop=1&cat=1414&cart=4302839

Anyone knows where i can find pearl signature series snares like Chad Smith, omar Harkim or Virgil Donati??
Other than Swee Lee

 

[lemuelp311]

The price for the VD snare is really good. i think 400 plus.
