Hey, been a while since I've posted here... been too busy playing to talk about it! hahaha. But, I have a question that I need some pointing in the right direction.
I use a 14x5 Black Beauty as my main snare and, well, we all know what they sound like (awesome) but I for a while used to run a side snare, either a 10" or 12" for a high pop. However, the music I play has shifted a bit and now I want a different sound coming from my left side.
Now... basically I want a snare I can tune low and loose and get the MOST ring / sustain possible out of it - almost like it has its own built in reverb effect. The BB has a nice ring to it because of the brass shell and unmuffled heads but I want something that just goes DUUSH!HHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
Years and years ago I briefly played a borrowed Premier Heavy Rock Nine which was a massive 14x9 brass monster that had that thing a bit, unfortunately that's long gone and they're rare. Plus, still not enough tail to the note.
So, do you know what I mean? If you do, any suggestions?
