    Reading more, I see apparently that the spitfire could be had in either size, so my error, forgive me. When Barrett got this drum I have, he walked in, and walked out of the factory with the drum under his arm free, this was said to be a prototype, and the Tone Muffler is blanked. Barrett hated Mufflers. I don't think Barrett much liked this drum, because it had very little evidence of use-play when I got it in trade for a mint Big R Dynasonic I had as my Spitfire upon acquisition was in mint condition with original very lightly used Heads on board. Many of my Snares, and like this Spitfire usually wear a Remo Diplomat M5 Coated Batter Head, Dip Snare Head. One day I might experiment with some different heads. Thank you for your video, I enjoyed it!

    Not aware the Spitfire was made in anything else but 6.5"x14"? Yes, I;m aware, 12 lugs. I have one of Barrett's prototypes. Mint. Part with it? Sure, you have $5.5K? LOL Even then, I couldn't part with it. It is a testy Snare to tune, even with a Drum Dial

    Regarding the "not quite all the way to the rim" cross stick thing: The first drummer I ever saw do it was Danny Barcelona with Louis Armstrong. You can see it on two of the live versions of Basin Street Blues from 1959 as well as in the studio footage from the I Ain't Got Nobody recording session from the same year. He may also be doing it on the live in Australia version of BSB, but the camera angle doesn't get a good view of it.

    Gene Krupa is the reason I play drums. Although Sing Sing Sing is the one everyone knows, the track that really got me was I Found A New Baby (or "hold on to your hats" as I called it when I was a kid). This version surely has a better solo than Sing Sing Sing. ua-cam.com/video/RNLxPzsbitE/v-deo.htmlsi=schP0Oc8i0WrWhe1 And I'd love to see you break that down, because it has intrigued me for 40 years!

    I've been playing guitar for about 4 years (self taught) and before I started I wanted to play drums ever since I was little and I just never got a chance to play aside from when I took a couple lessons and I kinda hated it since I would rather just mess around on a drum set instead of like slowly learning all the bits and bobs about it. anyway, I googled if you can learn to play with just a snare drum since I'm cheap and don't wanna buy a full drum set and this video came up and I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about but hopefully after I get a snare drum and figure it out I'll come back to this video and have some type of reawakening and actually understand everything.

    • @kevindorn
      @kevindorn 3 місяці тому

      This video isn’t really meant for someone starting out on the drums, but more for people who have been playing awhile and who might need to play a gig with just a snare drum. But starting out with just a snare drum is a great way to learn the drums! You can get your hand technique together, which will help with everything. I would recommend “Stick Control” by George Lawrence Stone and also finding a good teacher, if you can. If you have any questions, I would be happy to try to answer them!
