I got my very first drum set about 20 years ago and this is the exact snare that I got with it. It’s been in my parents attic forever and had a bit of corrosion on it so I cleaned it up real nice and ordered a bunch of quality hardware parts for it as the ones that were on it were pretty much shot. After hearing this video on what this drum is capable of I am beyond excited.

I am always impressed by your videos. I'm considering this exact snare drum at the moment, and I was so glad when I discovered you were the presenter on this video. Keep up all the great and helpful videos, Redeye. I learn something valuable from you every time!

Yes, I picked up a Rockstar 5 piece set for 200 bucks total that included two Zildians 18" and I believe two hi hat paiste cymbals. I'm still fiddling around with the tuning/dampening but it sounds pretty good it just needed a major cleanup. These used to be hot back in the day.

I've played a lot of vintage black beauties, supraphonics and a couple of acrolites I've been really chuffed with as a studio drummer, but the early 80's 14x5 Tama Swingstar is hard to beat. It would be nice to see you do an episode on that one if you haven't already :)

I like that you put the Drum Dial numbers 👍. I have my brothers old Japanese 1995 Rockstar kit but it doesn't have the Snare, I think I'll look for one to go with the set.

This brings back memories. I bought this same snare (or really my mom bought it) when I was 10 years old in 1987. It came with the brand new white rockstar 5 piece kit she bought me. It was at the Guitar Center in Hollywood and the salesman offered me Alex Van Halen's stainless steel drum kit from the "finish what ya started" music video. I didnt want my mom to pay so much more for a kit, because the Tama kit was a 5 piece brand new for $500, but the van halen kit was $800 for a 4 piece used! Looking back, I made a mistake but oh well. I was 10 for christ sake! I never used the Tama snare because I didnt know how to tune drums and I could never get a good sound out of it so I used my Gretsch bell brass snare from another kit i had earlier. Anyways thanks for the memories!

actually it was chrome over brass, which I'm pretty sure is different than actual "bell" brass snare drums, but I'm not sure either way. Sorry I had Bell brass on the brain when I wrote that. haha @@1thess523

I had this snare. It's the same one that was included with the Swingstar kits. I bought an Artwood Birch snare a few months after getting my kit and ended up basically giving this snare away for a pair of speakers. Big mistake on my part. Although it doesn't sound anywhere as good as my Artwood which is still my main snare to this day.....this snare does sound good enough for a second side snare to add a different flavor to your kit.

That is a spot on analysis of this snare. I think it would work as a primary if that's all someone had, but there are so many better for not much money. It's a great backup or side snare. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks! I think that a cheap metal snare will usually sound pretty good, but a cheap wood one (like the Accent) is more hit-or-miss depending on the wood quality and the design. You should be able to find a really usable metal snare used on ebay for less than $100 if you have the budget.

That snare sounds fairly decent. Bought used rockstar shell pack-perfect condition 4pc for 150. Smiky chrome w/ the black plastic hoops. Dont like the depth of mount Tom's, but they are 90s. Bass drum sounds incredible though. W as nt to sell though -new heads for 300.

Does it have original snares on it (if you still have it)? I always put Puresound Blaster wires on all my snares and it makes a huge difference
