Really nice snare drum I’m with you I made one from an old pearl all fiberglass 14” tom drum shell it’s pretty thin but I think sounds fabulous I agree to me it does have a combination of a wood and metal drum plus its just fun to do that Legend snare is killer I really enjoy your channel thx for the content

Great video Jim! Really solid advice on not jumping right into the weeds of exotic differences. One note; as soon as I heard that red Tempus it took me right back to my first case of snare drum "Gottahavititus"! It still has a special place in my collection.

(In making this video, I missed something obvious. I added this note to the description, but I'm posting it in the comments section as well.) EDITOR'S NOTE: I may need to make a follow-up video, because I forgot one thing - such a glaring oversight that I almost want to redo this video. The goal is to get as much variety as possible from a limited number of snare drums. In making the video as it currently stands, I got caught up in the gear, in the thought that to get a different sound, you need a different drum, that buying a same or similar drum would be a mistake. Not so fast. There are many snare drums that offer a variety of sounds through head choices, tuning, et cetera. If you have such a drum, and you don't want to find yourself constantly changing heads and retuning? Get another one of those same drums, and set the two of them up differently to produce those distinct sounds. Mission accomplished!

Needs more snare...

Good to see you back.

We need more Cowbell.....

💃🏽🕺🏽

JCR pairs are my favorites. Sooo many good ones though.

Very skilled!

Did you make up this rhythm on your own?

What an *awesome* observation and adaptation!! Little musical things like that make so much difference. I remember seeing Steve Gadd explaining how he tries to match his ride cymbal attack and sustain with however the bass player is playing the notes. Not just the groove, but note for note phrasing. Wait… what??

If im not mistaking, nowdays Gadd uses 8 rivets on the bottom hihat cymbal .. Zildjian A Custom hihat .. and I'm thinking of doing the same .. hm but i cant figure out whats the magic behind it..

Is there a model number on the Yamaha 6.5 x 14 Copper snare? Thank you.

Wow this is funny . . . I never cared for brands JUST SOUND no $$ for mics all natural acoustic sound The best of the best for me after going to shows getting left overs of studios, all over the LA area and Pro drum. The only 2 snares on my kit . . The same brass Yamaha you showed 1 in 6 1/2 and her beautiful sister 14 x 3 I’ll never get rid of it Awesome content. Thanks again

No one talks about over sized or true 14 snares Me I thick cast 14 x5 hand file just so the head is tight superb sound but sling flange 12 lug with 12 tiny holes to vent When every pro Siri’s down on my kit . . . . Don’t ask not 4 sale I’ll hand make it at a foundry

Man I love the low wash and “Crunchy” ping of the SCDR!

Ive got 6 8 and 10 luggers. They all have their place. But i LOVE my 60s mij 6 lug snares. Some w/ triple flange some w/ diecast. They pop. Nice and dry with a fat crack. Never paid more than $50 for one. Cant beat it.

I've got WFL six lug snares from the late 40's and '50's - ranging from 5.5 - 6.5x14 - they all sound really good. I find they have a bit more low-end punch/crack compared to my 8 and 10 lug snares. Some of the best sounding six lug snares I've played are the 1920's (and earlier) Ludwig 2-pc brass shell snares. My 4x14 and 6.5x14 both sound much bigger than they look. Really awesome instruments.

heads ?

Sounds really cool

You’re the man !!!!!

I was just talking to my son about music and how I used to love watching my friend Jim play drums before classes at GMHS, and regret not staying in touch with some of my classmates. The skills are the same, but are you the guy? Subscribed either way, my whole life I’ve mentioned how Jim could keep us tapping and snapping all on his own and THAT was a musician.

Excellent musician and teacher.

Your content is always appreciated sir.

And what it had diecast hoops? (I understand they are quite sturdy)

I’ve always dug “Rhyme Or Reason” such a good CD with a great variety tunes.

For a pro, lighter and quicker to change heads. That's the bottom line. Most people and machines cannot tell the difference.

Plays it, love it. Beaver tails and single flanged give it a nice classic look.

Proof that just because a drum has six lugs doesn’t mean it a budget drum that sounds like a box tacks👍🏻

Great sounding drums.

Very cool, surprised how good the snare response is when it’s fully open. I would’ve thought the interaction between heads is minimal

Great video. Thank you. Absolutely a fan of 6 and 8 lug snares. Every snare sounded great. Great tuning.

I would LOVE to see this type of content in long form videos!

Jim, those are some GREAT sounding snare drums. Fun video.

That’s a sweet voicing!

I recently bought a 1990´s Tama Starclassic, in 12" and has only 6 lugs. It is second hand so I have to change the heads, but are there any specific recommendations regarding this lug count for this tiny size?

Good stuff 🤩🔥

All 3 sound just wonderful, nice job on the builds sir. Love them all.

That drum sounds great! I'd love to hear it in person. 🥁

Ty For the Advice ❤

Keep making good stuff.

Most of my vintage Slingerland Snare drums have 8 lugs. However, I have one 6 lug snare but they're all maple/poplar/maple. Big surprise but they all sound very similar. The whole student/pro thing is marketing. I totally agree with your findings on the fatter sound on the 6 lug design.

I have 2 snare drums. My wood Sonar is 10 lug... My Premier is 8 lug steel. The Wood 10 lug is tuned lower, 'cause it dose not sound good tuned high. The metal 8 lug, is tuned REAL HIGH, and does not sound good tuned low. It has cast hoops so maybe that's why? IMHO

It’s hard to high ture six lug s mv are

Thanks for this personal view of "Bolero"! LIKE number 21 from Germany!

Very nice at the end with the medium light , strong Sizzle with the drumsticks and accents , at least I can hear it. Very good sound. Sabian had HH Rock Sizzle Hats which were their best back in 88-89.The darker HH sound with high frequency stainless steel rivets was wonderful.

…Six luggers will really surprise you….Ludwig Pioneer can really fit in many situations! Fully agree…..

I too have a 16 inch snare Looking for snare wires? I could only find 15 inch snare wires I’m still in the process of refurbishment Thx Rog

Very informative. Thank you.

this is really cool. thanks for doing this
