Sorry to barge in on this one. But anyone knows what snare does Maroon 5 drummer uses? It's a not very powerful but tight sound.

Hello drumsolo86,

Your link doesn't work.

Anyhoo, if the drummer in the video is the new guy Matt Flynn, he uses Yamaha drums and hardware. But as to what snare make, I am not sure though.

 

[snowflier]

wah killerbee...i tot u meant my links...so it's drumsolo's vid link dat doesn't work.

me? endorsed?? u muuuuust be keeeeding..... haha.

ya, looks like i gotta start plumping up my resume.....hate that

i should jus move to the US...tons of good deals on ebay with free or cheap shipping...hmmm...tempting...

 

[killerbee]

Ooops. Sorry! Amended the post with the name addressed.

Those deals may sound tempting but after these intense few days of searching for a 70s acrolite on eBay, I discovered that there are many jokers around who don't know what they are selling.

Maybe I am wrong, but someone called his 14" drum a 14.5" because he said the head measures 14.5" from metal rim to rim and added that a 14.5" head is not hard to find. Where got such things one? Isn't that a 14"?! Some one buy me a snare head that is sold as 14.5" please.

 

[snowflier]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! oh dat is sooooo funneeeeee!!! u almost killed me, killerbee!! 14.5 head...aiyoh, tink i'm tearing sia...yr tone damn funny, can imagine yr tui look.

no choice lor.....even if they dunno wat they're talking abt, they're the ones holding the treasure...so have to be patient and talk to them nicely, esp if it's rare stuff. i guess, for a lot of these so-called goons, they prob dug it out of their garage or attic or something, so they're not necessarily musicians, let alone drummers. some are just kids trying to make a fast buck selling their parents'/grandparents' treasures.

at least if we were there, we could jus hop into the car on the wkend and go scrounge at other pple's garage sales ourselves...then ebay would just be a 2nd option
