I started playing at age 10, and still own and play my Ludwig Super Sensitive snare drum for EXACTLY these reasons! And thanks for mentioning the great Roy Burns, an amazing talent. My childhood teachers were Charley Wilcoxen and Bob McKee, and I was blessed to have met many of their legendary drumming friends like Krupa, Roach, and Morello. All of these amazing players thought me the importance of SOUND. Thanks for sharing...
My LUDWIG SUPERSENSITIVE 77 MODEL...to me is the best sounding loudest sounding greatest snare drum , just my opinion , this club we played about 1 00 am the singer would get a little tired...I would pop a rim shot and I swear it would sound like a gun went off ...still have it too...I always thought LUDEIG made the best SNARE DRUMS PERIOD
It's true there's always a snare drum that sounds better than all others from the same make and model. My first Ludwig supraphonic 1979 always sounded better than any other supraphonic... it's strange but true.
How did they construct this drum to take a beating, in some detail? The head takes the beating, and they don't make that. Is it the thickness of the metal shell? I assume it was metal. Does anyone know more about this drum?
I didn't understand what he meant when he said that Buddy said, "this is the best drum since Rogers"? Wasn't Buddy talking about a Rogers drum (I assume a Dynasonic snare)?

Amazing & important drummer history. Thanks .
fantastico!!!!!! thank you for sharing this incredible piece of story of the drums!!
Fascinating, Anthony--thanks for posting. The terrific snare that was stolen would have been a Dyna?
This is the first time I ever heard anything good about Buddy Rich's personality.

hard to believe they didnt bother to get it back since br thought it was special even though it got 'beat up' or whatever.

Ben is talking about the design of the Dynasonic system preventing the drum from choking.
And these drums were wood

I'm pretty sure he meant since being with Rogers
@@Rogersdrumvideos Thanks Anthony. That makes more sense.
He played Fibes snares for some time after the Rogers. Did he prefer that to the dynasonic?
Did anyone every get the drum out of the pawn shop? That would be a nice snare to have!
Holy hell, that is the worst video quality I have ever seen. Good content though, lol
