Yeah, those thick metal shells are sooo sensitive. I really think a thick metal shell, tuned somewhat low, 4-5” deep, is just an incredible sound for so many gigs.

Picked up another 9000 snare stand for the black beauty.
Also a Roland TD-17KVX as a practice kit. After a lot arranging (and pipe cutting ) I got it to match my acoustic kit heights and set up.
You can see what Rolands set up idea was, and mine.

Gorgeous. Is it black on brass? I'm looking for a 14x8 brass but am getting overwhelmed by the nuances among all the brands. Looking for a low and loud Thwack! Any suggestions?

It is. I'm not a good person to ask for advice on a 14 x 8. I'll tell you what though. This Sensitone one is deafening me! It's got a hell of a crack.

Have you considered a Ludwig Black Magic or a WorldMax? This is my 14 x 8 Black Magic, an absolute beast of a drum!

Great work! The unusable (for me) rack layout was the main reason I didn't plumb for the TD17 and went for the TD25. I don't think Id have the means to chop down bars, but your setup looks real comfortable!Picked up another 9000 snare stand for the black beauty.

You can go to a hardware store and buy pipe cutters for not too much $$$.

That's a looker too. They're not prohibitively expensive, either. I'll check them both out, thank you! I was really hoping for an actual brass drum, not nickel black coated, etc. Ugh why all the black brass?!Have you considered a Ludwig Black Magic or a WorldMax? This is my 14 x 8 Black Magic, an absolute beast of a drum!

I will put a check in the "hell of a crack" column. Lol

For me, I already own a 14 x 6.5 brass snare so I wanted a NOB 14 x 8...thanks to some awesome recommendations on here I pursued a Worldmax as they make the shells for Ludwig. Unfortunately there was a long wait so after a couple of failed attempts at a WorldMax I went for the Black Magic...a fantastic drum.

Found this on Facebook Market Place for very low dough . The owner even offered to deliver it (90 minute drive) for an extra $20 !!
10 ply Nashville Slingerland with Birdseye outer veneer . 14 x 4” , engraved sticksaver hoops . Replaced the beat up heads with fresh Remo and changed the wires to Canopus Vintage wires and it sounds incredible .

Soooooo, amidst all the searching, I found this on CL and that was that... An impromptu 3 hour drive from Nj to Long Island... A late 80s or so Slingerland brass, 7.5" shell, 10 Lug. It's low and loud and has that heavy attack I was looking for. I threw the red Evans head on that I had gotten for the acrylic Tama snare that arrived cracked and was sent back. It's quite the fashion statement, but it sounds freaking awesome.For me, I already own a 14 x 6.5 brass snare so I wanted a NOB 14 x 8...thanks to some awesome recommendations on here I pursued a Worldmax as they make the shells for Ludwig.

Geeze what's the secret to posting a photo here. No matter what I do it says the file is too big. I've changed the quality to the lowest mp and cropped as much as I could.

Great story. To upload photos you must first email them to yourself, selecting “large”. Then retrieve from your inbox. This simply reduces the file sizes.

Found this mint condition Tama Superstar Classic maple snare for nearly nothing because it was missing a few lugs and someone had it setup all wrong.
It’s in mint condition and sounds as you might expect a 14 x 6 maple snare drum to sound. Very punchy although I have the Evans dry head tuned fairly high for crispier ghost notes.

Whooaaa, usually I'm not a fan of DW, I think their lugs a4too big but in this case, with the chrome on the BBC ronze, it looks awesome!!! I would love a bronze snare, used would be cheaper but I feel I could get fool because I don't have enough experience with drums to by them used.
