My favourite snare and main workhorse is a Mapex Warbird 12x5. Tuned medium on top, high on bottom. Perfect for most things.

Grazy good playing and sounds as expected 🤘🤘 I'm growing my interest to small snare drums at the moment. I have a customized Sonor jungle 10x2, and three drums made by me: a 12x4 Yammu oak custom shell, a 10x3" Keller maple shell, and now I'm finishing a 10x6,5 (?!) Keller snare that I expect to sound interesting with my percussion/drum kit at least 👍

@rickdior Really nice demo, Rick! Thank you. I liked that Grover and the A&F, but they all sound decent with your tuning and playing. The throw-offs/strainers on the Pork Pie snares are garbage. I purchased a 14" x 5.5" Zebrawood/Rosewood over 8-ply hard rock maple Pork Pie snare, and the throw-off started binding & completely locked-up on first use! I replaced it with a Silky Snare throw-off I had laying around and was back in business. A bit disappointed for a brand new ~$300 drum. :-/ And FYI, Tama makes two different *Snare Stands* that accommodate down to 12" drums by using One extendable/retractable sliding snare basket arm... Either the ToTL Tama STAR Snare Stand # HS100W, or the lightweight Tama CLASSIC Snare Stand # HS50S. I have the Classic and it works well for gigs with lighter drums. The best one I have is the ToTL Pearl # S1030 Snare Stand. It can accommodate the heaviest drums and all 3 of the basket arms slide/extend/retract, which allow it to accommodate 10"-15" drums. :) I wish I had your nice small-snare collection, but I've got 3 at the moment that do the job with a little tweeking & head swapping: - Meinl 8" x ~5" # MDST8BK single head Steel Timbale "EFX" Snare - Pearl 10" x 4.5" "Short Fuse" 6-ply Poplar Snare - Sakae 12" x 5.5" PAC-D Snare (Asian mahogany with a cherry wood cosmetic outer ply) from the PAC-D mini Bop kit. They each have a unique sound that works in different situations. I'll usually keep one of these in the kit as a "side snare", or the 8" Meinl Timbale in the typical Cowbell position mounted to the bass drum hoop. Good stuff! Thanks again! P.S. It seems like you have some power supply noise or perhaps WiFi or Cellular interference manifesting as spurious low level static in your files via your recording interface when you boost the audio levels for your dialog. It didn't seem like an issue when tracking the drums themselves, tho', so it's probably not a real problem for you.

Thanks for the info. That noise you hear is from my old Neve preamps when I boost the volume so you can hear me speaking. It's the transformers, noisy, being that they are 70 years old. Small price to pay for the great sound they provide.

@@rickdior Ahhh...that makes sense. I used to have some older Neve & API preamps as well. Brought the special sauce fo' sho'. But I was probably the 3rd or 4th owner, haha, so they were really old as well and needed a complete refurb. Of course the OG transformers and some other critical parts are scarce & pricey. Decided instead to sell them and go a different direction. Managed to pry a new-ish and rarely used/secondary Millennia HV-3D-8 preamp unit out of a buddy's sidecar rack for a very decent price and I couldn't be happier. Clean & pristine! I add my saturation & syrupy sweetness when needed in post. Best of both worlds for my drums and sax. :-) Thanks again. Appreciate all of your great content.

What model was that Pearl Snare Stand.. So Called Cheap Pearl snare stand? Outstanding drum video. Love the sounds of all these drums especially that they are Un - Miked. The Toms are tuned so very well - outstanding sounds I just can't get. Please show your tuning techniques. Curious to know how were the Reso Snare side heads Tuned? Table top Tight ? The Tama Star Classic 12 X 5 is my Fav , but the sounds are truly great. The video serves to show how well your collection is tuned

Tune the top head to an A. Bottom to f#. Use a coated remo emperor. That should take the timbale out of it a bit.

I reckon a lot of folks can't use real drums at home because of the volume so it's one solution to a age old problem.
