It's official. I LOVE THIS DRUM!!!
I replaced the batter with a Remo Controlled Sound head and installed a set of 42 strand wires. WOW - what a difference! Sensitive as all get-out but nearly no sympathetic snare buzz to deal with. And the rim shots - INCREDIBLE!!
I've got her tuned up pretty high, like a third octave G or G# and she sounds great up there. Should be no problem cutting through the mix. Can't wait to gig with this baby
Glad I had that Remo CS head lying around. No gels or muffler needed, either!
