Jeff Ream Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I mean as in a more significant presence during the show not the physical size of the instrument. a lot of it is going to depend on the show. And lets be honest, in a dome for finals, you lose sounds, especially towards the low end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffe77 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) The irony in this context about these 2 shows you site, is that the drumline were relatively small in size. BD 92 (7 Snares, 4 Tenors, 5 BsDrms), PR 96 (7 snares, 3 Tenors, 5 BsDrms). The reason is simple why there are predominant. Their location to the mics. BD was near the front as well as PR's drumline in the opener. At the end the drumline is right on the 50, where the Brass is to the left from the 45-35 yrd line.

fsubone Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Crown seemed to feature the big drums pretty prominently in their show last year, so they are still getting used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRB Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Up until the early 80's the standard snare was 15" with a silver dot or occasionally a Remo clear dot. I enjoyed the sound of the TDR's and Challengers much more so than today's Kevlar. Today's snares just do not have the tone quality - they sound like someone playing on a Formica countertop. Marty had PR marching a 40" bass up through about 1980. Brought a lot of bottom end to the sound. Tenors were 14-16-18 and went to 12-14-16 with the Ludwig Power Toms. Then Slingerland came out with the cut-away toms and I still question if anyone has produced as fine a tenor sound as the Slingerland cut-aways.

InspaDave Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Then Slingerland came out with the cut-away toms and I still question if anyone has produced as fine a tenor sound as the Slingerland cut-aways. I have always liked the Ludwig Power Cut toms from the 80s. Listen to those Mike Back lines at Spirit for an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielray Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 He's talking about the surdo drums we had during the drum break. They were made by Remo, had some funky dancing skeletons on them. I actually remember unboxing them at the hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
