Ludwig 4x14 Supralite Steel Snare Drum
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.2 года назад
Quick demo of the discontinued 4-inch version of Ludwig's Supralite, in four different tunings. It's a shame this drum in no longer in production. Apparently there were issues with the strainer. This throw gave me a little trouble at first too, but I got it dialed in and it works fine. The drum sings! Really enjoyable to play. I'm afraid the head in this demo has a built-in damping ring, but th...

Matt Bettis 20" Half-Lathed Ride Cymbal

A one-of-a-kind masterpiece from renowned cymbalsmith Matt Bettis. This amazing medium-thin ride is dry, dry, dry, with a short, explosive pang when you dig in with the shank. Great for modern approaches to straight-ahead, or maybe some breakbeat-style drumming, or wherever it inspires to take you! If you know the reputation of Bettis cymbals, you already know what we’re dealing with here. Make...

  • @jamescassidy4045
    @jamescassidy4045 2 месяца назад

    Hey, can I get some opinions from people that own or have used this drum whether they think it would be a good investment for recording hard rock/ punk, Metal etc vs say maybe something more typical like a Yamaha recording custom steel, a DW Steel, or a Black Beauty, that kind of thing. I’m really intrigued by the quality to price point of this drum, but to me it def has its own sound going on compared to some of the others. Like it sounds very wet, and lively to me, which may not be bad at all, especially where in the studio you can dampen a drum how you want, but just thought I’d ask for some opinions on how it is for range, versatility, volume, overall character etc. Can be hard just listening to demos sometimes.

    Would a 13” snare fit inside the drum, or does a throw off make it too big?

    • @raykingstonmusic
      @raykingstonmusic Год назад

      Thanks for your message. I have since sold this kit, but I think that it might work depending on the size of the throw. But you could check by placing your 13" snare inside the hoop of a 16" floor tom. If there's about half an inch of clearance on either side, it should work. Thanks again!
