Thanks Mendozart, Are those your Blaemire snares in the picture?
Very Nice. Where did they come from? Did you refinish them in the raw?
Went to Jerry's and picked up a cut off of a 14 inch shell for the hole patching on my 14 by 8 snare.
Finished putting the lugs on last night.
A long day of fumes and dust.
I brought out my 16 by 16 Floor Tom for him to check the tuning. We removed the top Emperor and put on one of Jerry's EC2 Evans heads.
The tone was deeper with less overtone/ring with the EC2. I liked it.
Went out and bought a new EC2 SST since the originals have been discontinued.
Sounds almost the same as EC2.
Jerry also taught me about really stretching out the new heads.
Serious manipulation including some Karate chop like hits in the head center.
So now I really push and massage the head edges at the lugs and all around the drum. It really makes the drum sound better.
I like going to Jerry's.
Thanks, Scott
