I just recently saw a couple of videos online showcasing some fiberglass snare drums and the sound was so nice, but now that I think about it I've never seen one in person. I know buddy rich used fibes snares and Hal Blaine used fiberglass toms, but who else used this stuff? And what does fiberglass sound the most like? Is it close to a type of metal drum, or is it closer to acrylic?
What especially caught my eye is a piccolo snare used by earl palmer made out of fiberglass. It sounded so perfect, how can I replicate that out of my own piccolo? Or do I just have to invest in a fiberglass shell... thoughts?
