Alright guys, we all love drums...especially those snare drums. Let's hear your current favorite 3 or 4 snare drums...can be modern or vintage. Many of us have a collection, but we tend to lean on some more than others for gigs. And oh by the way, next week my list will be different...but isn't that the fun part? Snares are like toys for big kids.
Here are a few favorites this week:
Anton Fig Yamaha snare
LM402 Ludwig Supra 6.5x14
vintage Radio King 5.5x14
Ludwig Hammered Bronze 6.5x14
1928 Slingerland (single-ply mahogany)
1998 DW/Craviotto (single-ply maple)
2006 single-ply red oak (some local builder)
...I could go on, of course, but these are the drums that when I make the first stroke, I think to myself, "Oh yeah! This is IT!!!"
1963 Ludwig 400 Supraphonic,
1922 Ludwig "All Metal Separate Tension" 6 lug brass,
1967 Ludwig 400 Supra (modified-powder coated, tube lugs, single flanged hoops),
1959-60 Ludwig Jazz Fest
For me, it always seems to come down to:
1971 Ludwig Supraphonic 6.5 x 14
1998 Ludwig Black Beauty 5 x 14 Super Sensitive
My favourite is my old 1967 Star marching snare, tuned slightly higher with a vintage external Tama damper. For the type of rock I play, I think it is great!
1. My new/old pre-serial COB
2. Ludwig 5"x14" Hammered Bronze
3. 1960's 5"x14" Camco Jasper shell w/DW hardware
4. 1970's Slingy 6.5"x14" Bronze shell.

My favorite is the sound king snare that I got with the kit. It is between 1968-1970. It is the only snare drum I have ever owned!
