This may sound a bit difficult to understand, but I’ll try to be as clear as I can.
Are there some drummers in bands that don’t really own their stuff ? (snare drums, cymbals, etc.)
This was brought to my attention by my dad when I told him about this drummer that plays with a different snare drum at almost every concert. I’ve seen this drummer use what looks like a DW 14x6.5 Aluminum Collectors Snare Drum in one picture and or video, I’ve seen him use what looks like a DW 14x4 Brass Collectors Snare in another. I’ve seen him use a Yamaha 14x7 Nouveau Brass Snare Drum in this one video. I saw him play in concert a couple months ago and he was using what looked like a DW 14x6.5 Stainless Steel Collectors Snare Drum. I’ve seen him (only once) use a Pearl Signature Vinnie Paul Snare Drum on a live concert DVD. I told my dad about this drummer and he said “maybe he doesn’t really own all those snare drums, maybe he just goes to a drum shop and rents a snare drum for the night or for a round of concerts in that area… and maybe all he does is tune them up to his liking and then brings them back to the shop when he’s done, and then does it again in the next town.”
Is that possible, are there drummers that really do this?
