Not true. The Acrolite snares do have snare beds...they are not as pronounced as say a Gretsch snare, but they do have a deeper bed than a Dynasonic does. Any snare drum does, because a Dynasonic snare has NO snare beds at all! This was part of how they got their sound. You didn't need them when the snares were tensioned on the snare frame, as opposed to "conventional" snare wires. The snares are designed to just barely kiss the snare head when adjusted and used the way they were intended. A Dynasonic with "conventional" snares fitted will always sound choked because there are NO snare beds. The beds are there to help the conventional type wires contact the center of the head. Without the beds, no snare wire contact in the center of the head! Hence the "choked" sound.I know the puresound repro wires are expensive, as are the snare frames, but this snare sounds best when they are fitted with ORIGINAL type snares. So sensitive and crisp. If I were you, I'd save some $$ and hunt down the correct parts rather than just fit generic snares....you'll never be satisfied with the drum that way. Don't take my word for it....dig out some old Buddy Rich records or Louis Bellson records from the early-mid 1960's and listen to the snare sound. Thats a Dynasonic at its best....I rebuilt one a couple of years ago and sold it (I bought it to flip it) but for the short time I had it, I loved how great it sounded. Even slightly better than my favorite supraphonic (which I will NEVER sell)....if I get the chance, I'm getting one again! Excited
Hello, you mentioned that Dynasonic didn,t have snare beds,is the situation same with shells for Supersensitive snares,or they are exactly same as for Supraphonics?
And I have question,when the Ludwig curved disappering spurs starts,what year?
Thank you
