Nothing will ever compare to Mylar with steel rims,, the rim shots sounded like shot guns,, but the tuning challenges were constant, but the richness of the snare sound was undeniable.
When I was at their rehearsal I was 7 rows up on the fourty, when the opening hit came the snares dissapeared when the horn line cranked. I wasnt 30 yards away,, same thing at Allentown,, Bluecoats, BD, and even Phantom cut like crazy, Cadets just play to many notes for clarity from a distance
Have seen SCV twice in last week and attended a rehearsal and heard the same sentiment. ..cant hèar the snares..hands are moving but only hear gacks..thoughts? ?
