14x5 or 14x6.5 snare ?
I just brought home a black brass 6.5 Sensitone from Nashville and I love it. Of course, aluminum sounds great (since the Ludwig Supraphonic is aluminum, its a very familiar sound), but brass I think sounds a little more controlled - and it's a lot heavier. I put die cast hoops top and bottom on my brass Sensitone and it's really heavy now
14x5 or 14x6.5 snare ?
Hey Bo did the brass snare come with brass snare wires too?-or chrome plated or steel? 16 strands or more wires? Just curious what sounds best on it. I've never played a brass snare you'll have to make a video to show it off man.
Nobody can hear all those high overtones more than a few feet away from the kit, especially when other instruments are playing. Unless you’re playing a quiet gig in a tiny room or making a recording, I think a ringy snare is not a problem. Remember, it’s not what you hear that’s important. It’s what the audience hears.
Just my 2 cents.
