Rick, these are great videos! Being a snare nut and a collector myself, there isn‘t too much news in it but it‘s presented so nice and eloquent that it is a joy to watch! The snares sound so great. I‘m happy, that you don‘t get caught up in the craze of tuning the snare drum super low with tons of crap on it. A snare drum should sound like a snare drum. Subscribed.
Thanks for making these during the pandemic. Super great “distraction” and informative as always. On redrilling for new throw-offs...I’ve seen a plexiglass piece added on the original holes, then new throw-off is mounted to plexiglass.
Amazing collection, & I thought I was going over the top with 8! Great video Rick thank you. Looking forward to checking out the metal snares next 👍
While wd40 can loosen things up it's not designed to be a lubricant. It dries over time. White lithium grease will last longer on tension rods. But I like Tri-Flow as a general purpose lubricant for strainers, foot pedals, etc.
Great video! I appreciate the insight into what you feel the drum is best suited for. And wow- that Gretsch Centennial Elm sounded unbelievable.
Small correction though - I think the Tama Bubinga is from 2006-07 as that's when they started using that wood. Not that it matters, it sounds killer.
I’m so happy that the algorithm keeps taking me back to your instructional videos, Rick. There was a time when I was a full-time musician and I try to learn what I could about hardware preferences as much as how to be a better player for myself. I think your videos add to the exciting journey of learning how to be an all-around better musician.
Hi Rick, that Sonor with the Fiberskyn sounds just amazing! Is it an Ambassador or a Diplomat? I am having difficulty choosing between the two.
Ambassador
Use a diplomat snare head on the bottom (thinnest head available) and a Remo Skyntone on the top.
That will do it.
Thanks for the reply Rick:) Why not Ambassador on top? I have ordered the same Phonic reissue and it’s arriving this week!
The Ambassador will sound fine. I like the Skyntone since it does not wear out for brush playing.
Rick your vidreos always a treat ,excellent choices.
I've never heard a Canopus snare I didn't like. Just cant afford them.
I have a couple boutique snares from Bill Allegretti
and Rob Kampa that are amazing and the price was very good.
All Maple . My go to metal drum is my Gretsch COB 5x14. Or a Ludwig 67 acrolite that is mint .
Those are both great snares. You really don't have to spend alot of money. Many times the heads make as much difference as anything so try out several types of heads.
@@rickdior True, I like the Mylar Remo uses and usually go with Ambassador or Ambassador x Evans has great collars but I prefer the Remo material.
Thanks for getting back .
Rick what length are the Drumset sticks you use for Jazz/ Rock ..Are they 16.25?
The Marine Pearl slingerland radio King with the clamshell strainer is probably a 1955 56 or 57. The drum has the sound King lugs which came out I believe in 1955.
at 34:00 that Tama looks like a volcanic fire bubinga (2004 maybe?). I didn't realize they had some finishes like that back in the 90s. I have a 2005 red viking finish, with that same in-lay. (those high end tama bubinga finishes make gorgeous drums).
Thats from one of the first Exotix kits they made.
Bubinga Burl. You can see some of the other drums from this kit in my first drum tuning video.
I will also show the entire kit in an upcoming video.
Do you know what sticks sticks Billy Gladstone used ?
Something about a deep 13” shell snare. A Tama 13” x 6.5 Musashi Oak is a “pop” you’ll not part with.
thx for this video. i was looking to get tje zelcova in 5" or 6.5". i think i like the 5 the best seems the most versatile. does the 6.5 tune up pretty high? i know you said the feel is very differnt between the 2. hard to choose and there is a decent deal on a used 6.5 one so in very tempted What do you think:).. I play mostly jazz funk reggae Latin, new Orleans stuff. thx
Hi
Both sizes are great and very loud.
You can crank the 6.5 up but my favorite is the 5".
hi rick! MAD rudiment skillz!! can TELL you love drums - everything about them! (me, too...)
showpiece of MY collection is early Leedy wood ?Multi? model, that's TERRIFIC DRUM (hoop clips aside!)
Zelkovaaaaa! ❤️🔥💯🥁
You and the Craviotto guy Matthew ( see comments in every Craviotto video I have done) need to get together and start an emotional club
Great stuff Rick!!! How many snares do you own???
I'm not sure but it's definitely too many!
Like cymbals...just one more.
Hey Rick, what do you recommend as far as snare wires for a 6.5x14 DW wood snare? Right now I have the DW stock Truetone 20 strands on there but I was thinking about going to a smaller strand wire to get more tone from the shell and perhaps making the drum a little more mellow. I was looking into getting 16 or 12 strand wires and looking at Canopus wires, Germans, cheap Gibraltar’s, puresound, and Grover. What do you think?
Hi Ryan
I am a big fan of the Canopus snares so you might want to try those.
Love my Grover snares, but they are dry, "orchestral" & Use them mainly for recording C&W...
Hi, Rick : is that possible to tune the high level drum set snare to orchestral snare ?how
On the contrary, is that possible to tune snare like Pearl Philharmonic to jazz style drum set snare ?
Hi
Just change out the snares to curly snares and you are good to go.
Hey Rick! Huge fan of the videos. They’ve been one of the better parts of 2020.
That nice Brady snare actually has a Nickel Drumworks’ strainer on it, not a Trick. I’ve got one on a Gretsch USA Custom snare.
Not a huge fan of the strainer - but it seems to be hanging in there.
Gewa seems to have a newer, metal Nickel strainer available if your plastic one bites the dust.

Quick question too - curious about the specs on your VF sticks? Looks like a Bolero bead on something like a 5A shaft.
Again, have really enjoyed the videos, good sir! All the best to you and your family!
Hi
Thanks for the info on the strainer.
My stick is roughly a combination of an sd9 shaft and a bolero tip with a longer taper and length.
Rick what feature on hoe to improve the wooden snare drums that one already owns?
Hi
I am not sure I understand the question....can you restate it?
Thanks
