Replacing 14" OCDP snare side head and wires

In this video I replace the bottom head of an OCDP snare and the stock snare wires with SPL 14 in 42 strand wire. I go through the snare side head tuning method I use and a couple of tips on how to set the wires right.

I like the snare wire 42 wires

[@kelbymcgee7257]

I just picked up this exact snare from gcs used online & im almost positive it may be the same one your using here I love that you use a larger count snare wire as I usually use 30-42 just makes all the difference in response and sound! Nice playing & video brotha!🤘🏻

[@PerkChoppzDrums]

Thanks!

[@PerkChoppzDrums]

A better head to use is the evans reverse dot. That's what I'm using now.

[@ARDrummer]

Just ordered some 40 strand snare wires...looking forward to seeing how they sound. Your snare sounds good with and without moon gel. I would try cutting the moon gel in half and I think it would sound even better :)

[@PerkChoppzDrums]

Cool, the snare response is great with these wires! You may be right about the moon gel, Ill give it a go.

[@justinwalker6902]

Agreed, sounds great. But maybe try half moon gel as he said.

[@jpolls233]

Just think its too tight and choked

[@PerkChoppzDrums]

The snare wires or the tension of the drum?

[@jpolls233]

@@PerkChoppzDrums The drum, from what I could tell from the recording. If it's too tight it takes the quality you get from a nice snare and chokes the tone. A sample of my favorite snare sound is on Dave Weckl "Wet Skin" from the album Synergy. Man that snare sounds awesome! Fairly tight, but a lot of punch and crack! You can still hear the tone of the shell of the drum. Of course, that's my opinion. Thanks for replying back😊

@@PerkChoppzDrums there's one of those drums but the maple version on eBay for $179.Is that a good deal?

[@PerkChoppzDrums]

$150 or less is a good deal. $179.. ehh..

[@jpolls233]

@@PerkChoppzDrums I didn't take them up on the offer soon enough and so it went back to $195.00. Beau6 finish on it! For right now I'm using my Pearl Sensitone steel shell 14x6.5. Sounds good tight or medium tension.
