I only have maple orchestral drums, so I don't currently have the benefits of a metal drum. I'd be interested to see what my acrolite sounds like doing a conversion like this. Have you ever tried this with an acrolite or superphonic?
I have and it works fine as long as you use the correct snares. The Ludwig strainers on those drums are not so great. You would get better results with an older p 87.
I've been waiting for you to make this video!!! I have so many drum sets snares but not a single concert snare and sometimes I've tried the conversion but never have nailed it in my opinion. Thanks for all the insight Rick, you are truly a drum guru.
With the concert snares on there it's too dry of a sound for me in that setting. You can change over the snares and move back and forth between different types of music.
This video came up on drumforum. I play in the grey area between jazz and modern classical, and the wetness of my snares is always something I'm trying to dry out. I will try changing to non-curly wires.
love your playing and knowledge, your channel is amazing, which is why I'm turning to you for a question I can't find the answer to. Why are cymbals from the fifties and back bendable and shake a lot when you hit them, but cymbals from the late fifties and up don't. Thank you!
Hi Cymbals started to get a bit thicker with the advent of Rock N Roll in the 50's when the playing became harder and drummers with less refined technique started bashing the hell out of them. Breakage was common so Zildjian started making heavier A's at this time. Thats why the A's from the 40's and 50's generally sound better than the later A's. The thinness of the cymbal creates that wave that you are describing. Most of the old K's do that.
I would love to see a tutorial on how you teach / develop your buzz strokes and how you maintain them. Thanks 🙏 another great video and contribution to the drumming community. All the best !!!
I agree with you about the clip included with the Puresound snare wire. It's a PITA and takes longer to re-fit than simply removing the strap from the clamp.
Very informative, Rick. I actually purchased a base 6.5/14 Black Swamp Maple sd a few months back, which came with the non-wrap around version of those snares, and I liked the crisp response and tone to the point that I installed the same snares on my Tama 6.5/14 drum set snare drum....I like the easy responsiveness and control of the ring. I am using (on both drums) a Freer leather drum mute.

I love the clarity of the concert snares. How do you feel about using them for jazz with the drum set?

Thanks

Rick, I get paid tomorrow, live in Kansas.... Can you send me a link so I can buy some sticks ? Thank you
Hi
Email me at rickdior@gmail.com and we can figure out what's best for you.
Thanks

Yay! Been looking forward to this.

3:16 Ravel reference!
Great video! Thank you Rick
I was more than half expecting to hear the Scheherazade excerpt.
(Not a complaint. Was fun to play the “is he gonna play it next?” game.)
Great video! I just want to ask if the black swamp wrap around snare wire requires deep snare beds for it to work well?
Hi
They do not require snare beds to work although they will help with seating the snares on the very thin snare head.
@@rickdior Thank you so much for the reply! Really love the content!
What drumsticks are you using?
I am using sticks that I make and sell.
