Hi folks!
I registered here today hoping I could get some information and advice from more experienced drummers.
My father is a very dedicated vintage instruments collector since the early 1980's - when it comes to guitars, he knows what he is looking for. As for drums, as long as they look vintage enough and not expensive, he'll get them.
Today I decided I would know some more about the drums we've got here. I was out of time to take more pictures and I expect this thread to be long and fun, so I'll start with some of the snares. I don't have a single wooden snare. Only metal shells.
1) Pearl Export
This one came with a full Pearl Export kit (green, early 1990s?)

2) Ranger
This snare was in one of my father's rehearsal rooms. Unknown brand, little information online

3) Yamaha SD496
Was on the same rehearsal room. Lots of information online!
You might be asking.. alright, so what do you want?
I am trying to make a single kit with the best elements I have around. From those snares above, I guess the best one is the Yamaha. But here comes the tricky question: I want a kit I will restore in order to record some vintage-sounding drums, hence I already bought a few Remo skins. I am looking for a dry, warm sound. Like Radiohead's drums on A Moon Shaped Pool (2016) (song example: Decks Dark).
Any information is welcome!
Thank you and sorry for the long post! Help2
