markdewine Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 OK, just to clarify..... MYLAR.....sounds like field snare drum. KEVLAR...sounds like counter top. :P b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Only on DCP can you find people talking about the chemical makeup and characteristics of....DRUMHEADS. haha! something of this nature would be a rather typical everyday conversation in my house. mix one part drummer with one part engineer and there you have it. :lolhit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 OK, just to clarify.....MYLAR.....sounds like field snare drum. KEVLAR...sounds like counter top. :P b**bs Only if you totally bone the head....most people tune their drums quite a bit lower now. Does anyone still use Falams heads anymore? All I've seen lately are White and Black Max heads, which feel completely different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storkysr Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Both mylar and kevlar are plastic, kevlar being a form of nylon fiber called para-aramid nylon. More precisely: poly(p-phenyleneterephtalamide)kevlar is a POLYMER and can, therefore, be generically reffered to as a plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Adam Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 More precisely: poly(p-phenyleneterephtalamide)kevlar is a POLYMER and can, therefore, be generically reffered to as a plastic. But, even more precisely: The term plastic was derived from shortening the name the group of polymers called "thermoplastics". Aramid polymer belongs to the group of polymers known as "thermosets", but both groups of polymers are often times (and innacurately) lumped together under the generic name "plastic". Furthermore, referring to a kevlar drumhead as plastic (assuming we are using the misnomer "plastic" for aramid) is about as accurate as calling paper wood, since they are both made up of cellulose fibers.

GGarrett Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 man... I learn more cool sh... "stuff" ... here than I ever imagined I would. It's good to know some of this stuff. Cuz otherwise we're just like Tom Cruise as "Cole Trickle" in Days of Thunder: "They told me to get in and drive, and I could drive." Harry Hogge: What do you know about stock car racing? Cole Trickle: Well... watched it on television, of course. Harry Hogge: You've seen it on television? Cole Trickle: ESPN. The coverage is excellent, you'd be surprised at how much you can pick up. Harry Hogge: I'm sure I would. Hey man, I just put the drum on and play. Another good quote from Buddy Rich: "If you sound lousy one day, you can't blame the drums..."

12L Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 88 Devs--best sounding snareline in terms of tuning 91 SCV--best snareline in terms of performance (except for finals @ Nats) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
