- It's still one of my favorite snares of all time. And here I take you through the journey of removing the rubber gaskets off of a newer model. This should prove to be enjoyable whether you're an expert or oblivious to it all. This drum is an important part of musical history.
Thanks for watching.
Wow. I would never have believed it, but YES I think the drum sounds way better without the gaskets !
Loved this video. I bought a new LM402 about 6 years ago and it came with the gaskets. Didn't think anything of it at the time and I loved the way the drum sounded. After watching this video, it took the gaskets off and the drum is now of the chart! I LOVE the way the drum sounds without the gaskets. Thanks for opening my eyes!
I could listen to you play that all day!
There may be the ever slight possibility that the gaskets prevent molecules of two different metal from mixing. I know it sounds absurd. I've worked @ (Mosaic.com) phosphate plants and where aluminum conduit is run, oftentimes the conduit has to get wrapped in electrical tape where the stainless u-bolt/clamp touches the conduit. For a snare drum in a home environment I kinda think it's a non issue.
You sir are a great drummer!
Hey dude! I just picked up a really nice condition 1972 Supraphonic, but it needs a new bottom hoop! Any suggestions on a good place to pick one up?
how about the dreaded lug splay?
The tuning is a little different. But I hear that the gaskets make the drum a bit thicker/puffier sounding if you will. It's like a gentle mid/bass boost. Assuming you're using a coated ambassador for the batter, I think that's a good thing. +1 for gaskets. lol
Seems a little brighter without gaskets that could be accomplished tuning the gasketed version up but I suspect you get more openness without them and trust your opinion to take em out.
I do notice a slight difference in sound. Hoping to get a 6.5" when the wallet allows. Nice Our Lady of Guadalupe mirror :).
Without gaskets it is dryer. Beautiful. Jesse how much tension do you put on your bottom snare heads? whether it's brass or aluminum? is there a difference? I have brass. Are they all the way up/or half as much? Thanks
I'm cranking up the reso and still not working for me. Thanks
I hear the difference. could it just be the tuning?
Was that a 5" #400 or a super sensitive....or a hammered brass/copper/aluminum/gold/tin/pewter/zinc/maple/silver/sensitone/......lol.....
Hi bro. I have a question. I'm looking for the same sound you have on your supra. I'm struggling finding that sound with mine. I have ambassador coated on top and stock snare side and wires. Any suggestions on tuning?
What size is the snare?
Sounds awesome!!
Great vid, totally agree, lose the gaskets. I have a 93 402 and I love it. The kit sounds great as well. What mic do you have on the kick?
Thanks buddy. I enjoy it! I've been using the Audix D6 lately. I dig that mic. Used to use the D112 before that.
+Jesse Sprinkle very cool!
The Supra never seems to sound as loud as many other brands, when played live, unmiced.
Asum.
