I thought I did but can't find it. It's a Ludwig 10x14 Deep Rock model. They just re-branded some 10x14 marching snares and changed the strainers.

I like deeper snares because I can get more body at higher tunings. I also play in loud environments. 5" snares bottom out or choke at a certain volume. I find the deeper snares more versatile. I have several 6.5s, as well a 7, 8, and a 10. I only have one 5" and I never use it.

I still have a pair of 14" New Beats and a 21" Rock Ride from my first kit in 79/80.

Just put your Equalizers on your new drum for a test run. I like Puresound, Fat Cat, and Canopus quite a bit. I currently have Canopus 42 wires on all mine. They sound great but I'm not sure they are worth the additional expense. I could be happy with Puresound or Fat Cat 30s.

The Acro and Coliseum are my favs but any of them will do.

I love my red sparkles and I usually hate red kits.

I just bring whatever I want to use but I usually just bring an Acro or World Max as a backup .

I am not a big Slipknot fan but some of these comments are cracking me up. Most of the people on this board (myself included), couldn't play Slipknot's set with a gun to their head.

I always had issues with chipped tips when I played VF. I haven't played them in years because of this. It happens with every brand but Vater and Promark both hold up much better for me.

I am usually on multi- band shows and don't get a soundcheck. There's never any time for a full monitor mix. I just ask for guitars and a little bit of kick drum. That will get me through it.

Tama John Tempesta signature snare is 2mm brass.

If you were to prick it with a pin, the drum would explode.

I use a 21" Bash Ride as a crash but I need a bigger bell on my main ride.

Snare and a pedal.

I always sat pretty low. That's where I felt the most balanced and had the most power for the kick drum. I was always fighting a wall of cabs. Now, I am old and have a bad back and hips. I'm sitting several inches higher but I'm in less pain now. I am still having trouble adjusting. It's...

I was playing wooden snares for years. It took me a while to adjust when I started experimenting with metal snares. I've had several 402s. They all have that high end "ping" but some have more than others. I usually use a 2-ply dotted head like a CS Emperor or an Aquarian Hi Velocity. Most of...

DW I have a set of 9000s and a set of 6000s. I'm covered for the rest of my life.

I have cases for vans and trailers and bags for local personal vehicle gigs. Not that I am doing either at the moment.

I scaled back to this for a bit. 23" Meinl Byzance Heavy Ride 21" Sabian AA Bash Ride(as a crash) 19" Sabian AAX Xplosion Crash However, I have brought an 18" Xplosion Crash back into the mix.
