So I kind of love the Tama BBs of yore, and feel they sound a bit like a snare with reverb added, like how a wide open unported reso kick gives you an added resonance. A few things:
- not spending $900+ on a Tama, Oriollo, or similar. Probably not even the $500+ on an Ahead, Pearl or DW or Gretsch.
- don't want aluminum, like them but it's not the sound.
- read on a forum that thick wood can have a similar tone, and do have a used stave shell on the way, maple I think. I like what I've heard from walnut.
Thoughts on anything similar sounding, or any setup that you feel has gotten you close? Thanks!
