New drummer here and just got a really nice late 70's 6.5 x 14 Supraphonic that isn't sounding like "all that." Mainly, it doesn't seem to have the kind of snare sensitivity I expect or that I've heard on other Supras.
Wires are in good shape and appear to be the stock ones. Bottom head is a hazy ambassador that looks to be in fine shape and top is coated ambassador (top has a few miles on it, but not too bad).
Just doesn't have the crack and sensitivity I've heard on these. Sounds really flat. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do in order to get this thing sounding good? I'm just starting out and don't have experience with tuning, but my drummer friend tuned it up a little last night and it still doesn't sound great. I think the lack of snare sensitivity is my main complaint at this point.
