New SJC Custom snare to go with kit!!

Karl,

Tanks for the compliment! The acrylic section adds fullness and body. and a heck of a lot of volume. It hits hard, lol...perfect for my style of music.
 
Cool snare! I like how you got the best of both worlds: acrylic and wood.

Did you have a good experience with SJC? good customer service?

Sometime in the distant future I'd like to get a custom kit.
 
drummerchick, I had an awesome experience with them. From start to finish the best customer service I have ever recieved. They are very down to earth guys and are always willing to help out drummers in designing their kit. I can honestly say that after working with them, i wouldn never buy a custom kit from any other company. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions !!
 
Thank you so much everyone!!!!!

Bojangleman I am truly flattered, if you ever find yourself in CT, let me know, and you can check em out first hand :). I'm glad you like them so much!

Wegadrummer, I couldn't agree more....ultimate drum porn, lol

razorx, they are almost too nice to play, a lot of times i dont practice on em, i practie on my pearl sessions instead....i use the sjc for gigs and in the studio (and when I want to spoil myself playin at home)

Big Philly, thanks for your compliments as well!!

You guys are awesome!
 
Hey man.. The hybrid is amazing looking.. and I bet it sounds as good as it looks. I would LOVE to get a hybrid to match my masterworks kit.. What is the price tag on this beautiful piece?
 
Well, I'm not really at liberty to say exactly what I paid for it, but retail it would be in the ballpark of 1500-1700. Her is the full list of features if you wanted to email SJC to get a quote.

14x8 maple/acrylic hybrid
Wormy maple Veneer
Custom satin stain
Custom fade outer to center
Weathered brass hardware
Tube Lugs
Offset lugs
Wood badges
Custom Victorian AJC badge
Custom name badge

Think I got them all, lol.

Email Mike, he is a great guy. Tell him Matt sent you, lol

That is a really cool snare!

The kit finish is really nice, very classy and cool. Wow.

8" snares are cool sounding anyway, but THIS is way awesome!

This kit would really turn some heads at shows, and that snare will freak people out.

I'd be super stoked to show up at a gig with that.

Sounds like you got a great deal on the kit from the previous post.

I dig a lot of the stuff on the SJC site, & yes, it is drum porn!
 
Karl: That snare does freak people out, especially sound guys trying to control it, lol....And I did get a great deal on it from SJC, they took really good care of me.

Viktors: I'm glad you dig it, and I assure you, it sounds as good as it looks.

Bojangleman, im serious, if you find your way up here lte me know and we'll arange something
 
What a beauty!
I love snares with acrylic inbetween the wood, it looks amazing!!!!
Does it resonate like a regular wood shell?
 
Hey twentyeightyfive, no it doesn't resonate like regular wood, has a bit more tone and depth to it. There's a fullness there that is really evident in the acrylic that i don't normally hear in the wood.
 
Re: New SJC Custom snare to go with kit!!(sound clip update)

FINALLY got a good recording done of these puppies and the snare. Check it out on my band's myspace if you are curious about how the SJC's sound.

let me know what you think!
 
Re: ***update with sound clips***New SJC Custom snare to go with kit!!

Hey everyone, my band has finished some of the songs on our most recent album. If you are curious how an SJC kit sounds, these songs feature the kit and snare posted previously. I also use my 14x7 maple on a couple of tracks. Please listen when you can! one is included here, but more samples can be found at facebook.com/totherescueband
