I'm using it right now still. I still dig the sound. The one problem that I have with it is the volume. Anyways I can make the snare louder? I'm thinking about changing the snare side head to a hazy 300. Would that increase the volume of it? I know it would give it a brighter sound compared to the stock head I have on it now and that's what I'm going for, I just want to make it louder.
Hmmm. Breaks two-ply head and wants the snare to be louder.
Get rid of that head and try and Remo C.S Sound head. They come coated and clear. If you are playing for your own enjoyment in your house you can use gels or an O ring but if your playing with a band, crank up and don't use gels or rings. Nobody will hear the over ring and you will have a snare that your band mates will hear in their sleep. Trust me. It never fails.
why is it always "criticize technique first, ask questions later"?
we have no way of knowing for 100% sure if he has "good" technique or not without video proof.
and even if that is the case, who are we to judge? to each their own.
(sorry if I sound angry or something
I mean, I can't even walk in to my local music store to buy a new pair of sticks without having the drum department guy ask if I hit my drums too hard and break sticks because of that. uh hello? they're only pieces of wood! they break sometimes! it happens!)
