D41145 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I just sold my Sfz. Nope, sorry. Mapex kicks their butt. Not much on drums but did they ever try premier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 SCV used Premier in '85, if memory serves me correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarnia sam Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) I always thought Vanguard had the best snare tuning (whole line really) every year. Saw them at NIghtbeat and first thing I noticed was how lousy the snares sounded, and then how poorly they were playing them. such a disappointment. It could have been a one-off, the humidity, etc. Nobody ever tunes better than Vanguard *except in 2016. Have to add, Bluecoats snares sounded real nice, same night.

Steoffice1981 Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanjrusMcRynky Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 SCV Quads though. Those things sound magnificent. I agree on the snares though. They're kind of lost this year. Too cranked, in my opinion. They really speak when the heads are able to resonate. Interestingly....I don't like how the quads sound at all. When I've seen them live its been even hard to hear their features with clarity on the field, and cleanliness is definitely not the problem with those guys. I've thought that as long as Rennick has used Renaissance heads on the tenors, including PR '10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
