Great news guys, I’ve decided to sell my house and purchase the gene Krupa Gladstone drum. I haven’t told the great news to my wife yet, it will be a surprise… she’ll be SO excited, and to top it off, I’m announcing it to her on our 20th anniversary day! Steve, I guess this one is pick-up in person only right? Or perhaps delivery by armored car? … OK kidding aside, this was a real treat, thank you so much Steve Maxwell and your great staff
In 1996,I was a college senior working on my school newspaper as the arts and entertainment staff writer when I was asked to interview Louis Bellson for an article. I figured it might be five or six questions and last 20 minutes. I took my mom who was a fan of Louis. An hour later we concluded the interview. I could sense Louis wanted to keep talking but I told him I was on deadline. When the interview concluded he handed me his home address and asked me to mail him a copy of my review! Louis and his wife,Francine,couldn’t have been more charming! It’s a night I will never forget!
Hi Steve, thank you for this incredibly rare comparison. The Krupa snare is just beautiful......but I can understand and hear exactly why the Bellson snare isn't going anywhere, and is staying safe with you. Fascinating channel, and so educating; congratulations. ❤
Hi Steve, Bellson's and Rich's snare sound are the base line of what I've always used for over 50 years. That crisp thunderous sound that Buddy got to distinguish every single stroke of the sticks was unmistakable. Krupa's has that rock sound that's great for recording. Very rare and extremely impressive demo of having all 3 genius' snares all together! In all my years I've never seen anything like this. What a treat!!! Cheers!!
What an awesome demonstration and I am not a drummer although I am familiar with all 3 iconic drum legends. What a treasure to have all 3 snares together in one studio.
Gene's snare is outstanding. The overtone is so smooth and mellow from that drum, the snares are snappy, and the tone is butta! It is made for the record, it's a music producer's dream snare, just beautiful! Billy Gladstone, a master! 3:20 omg.
You nailed it - a snare with that much body and depth but also with super controlled overtones is an engineers ideal snare. I would love to hear it at different tunings.
Closest thing you’ll find to that drum that’s not a Billy Gladstone is a 7x14 noble and Cooley solid shell. I own several older noble and coolies and they are absolutely mind blowing.
Holy cow!! Not only I feel like a beginner now on a snare, but you also did open my eyes on how much important it is to listen back to guys from the past.
Holy shit man...you emulated the styles of the original owners of those drums perfectly. I got to see Louis Belson in the 90s as a guest at a local jazz ensemble concert. What a monster. Buddy's snare is my favorite
Great demo... your skill in mimicking the figures that each one of those drummers used was superb. I had the privilege of setting up and chauffeuring Louie around for a weekend and he was kind enough to show me exactly how he tuned his snare which was cool because I was using a Dynasonic as well. Thank you!
Hi Steve. Ron Turner here in Seattle. We'll, the Three Kings would certainly approve of your royal treatment in showcasing their very personal instruments. Thank you so much for posting this. This is our Evolution! Our History! 🎶🥁
I absolutely love Gene’s snare drum. It’s always been immediately recognizable to me anytime one of his songs comes on. That snare looked like the most fun to play. Great vid. Gene is definitely one of my favorite drummers period.
The Krupa snare has such a deep, almost tom sound to it. Such beautiful hardware as well. I just love the sound of the Louie snare though. It has a distinct aftertaste.
The depth is what makes it. A beautiful, clear, traditional voice fit for an auditorium, but used by a genius for better and more true purposes. Incredible.
Steve you are a Treasure For Sharing to all of us the treasures that you come across. I was amazed at your Chicago store with all those famous drum sets including buddy riches that I used to see in Indianapolis. Meeting you at the Chicago show was very exciting for me. I look forward to my next purchase because I believe in supporting people who support the drumming community My next trip is going to be Forks in Nashville I’m already counting the days
I was fortunate to see Louie Bellson and shake his hand after the show in L.A. around the year 2000. Wish I could’ve seen Buddy and Gene live in concert as well.
Excellent stick control Steve -- nice demo! Gene was the only one I never got to see live. Louie really impressed me, not only in his technical skill, but also in his musicality and enthusiasm -- a true gentleman.
Wow amazing sounds from all 3 snares. I never heard that sound present and so clear. I heard them on the old famous drummers back then but the quality of sound wasn't that great the way it is now and I hear more sound and dynamics. Thank You Steve for posting this amazing video. Wow those snares sound like no other snare I ever heard.
Beautiful drums all, and great playing on all of them. Yet, I could sense the familiarity and fondness you have with Louie's snare right from the first press roll that went on just a little longer because it sounded so good!
It's amazing what percussionists can hear in their instruments that so many others can't, but yet it is all so very important to the music. That's not disparaging, as every instrument has it's fine points for the artists themselves to understand. It just seems to me that even a simple snare drum can have so many more variable and distinct sounds when compared to a trumpet, for example. I was playing my set one day and my roomie came in, having been drawn from the kitchen by the various tones I was making on the cymbals. I spent about a half hour explaining and demonstrating the various tones you can get out of a ride, hat , and crash in various configurations, strikes, and styles, and that HS choir boy was amazed at what he had just learned and put together that he had been unable to clearly see before. The tones were just there, but he didn't know the mechanics of them. Never stop learning and wondering.
Hi Steve. I've played just about every snare out there through 50 years and have always wanted a 7x14 . My main snare for the last 30 years has been the Ludwig Supraphonic snare 6 1/2 x 14 . LM 402 . 1972 model. When I'm playing a trap set , I play a Ludwig Acrolite 10 lug 5x14 . Krupa was my favorite drummer growing up but have learned from all the greats . Larry London, Hal.Blaine , Buddy Harmon were some of my favorites. Reason being , I didn't care to be the fastest etc , I played for the feel of the music . All genres . However I loved them all , Buddy Rich , Louis Bellson and You my friend . Awesome playing , God Bless You and Yours always, sincerely, Ben*Ben Adler
Whoa! This old boy has some licks! Nice stuff, Bud! I am impressed, for sure! That Krupa drum sounded like a small tom with snares! The Louie & Buddy snares sounded pretty much the same. Just a little less damper on one. It's been ages since my drum major days & my years as a pro drummer & studio drummer, but I can't remember ever seeing a drum with gut snares! I can only remember steel snares & the only thing was the number & tension of those Steel snares. Must have been I suppose, just before my time. Seems like gut would be pretty fragile. I always kept spare snares in my trap case, along with extra heads. The steel snares broke often enough anyway. I can't imagine what gut would be like. Enjoyed the post! I hope I hear what those drums sold for.
awesome, I remember listening to Gene on LP back when I was first learning how to play the drums in grade school. I only wish I had been diagnosed and treated for my ADHD so I would have been able to study and learn how to read sheet music. I learned how to play the songs we played by ear and by watching others play the bits. I had the hardest time multi-tasking the whole playing while reading thing. If I couldn't memorize an entire concert of music I couldnt play it, so I just memorized entire concerts of music for our schools productions and marching stuff, and yeah, played at every football game, which was cool, I got to see every football game for free, but I digress... great video, you really know how to make those skins sing.
I love this comparison. What I would also like to see and I understand why you won't do it, is to do a direct comparison of them using the same heads and snare wires. Thanks again for showing your mastery. Your mastery and body language are unique. I mean this in a good way. You make this look so easy.
Thank you for all that it's very good info for me my dad went to grade school with Gene Kruppa he told me to listen to the greats so we always watched Lawrence Welk every Sunday nite peace brother your a great stick man
Thank you! Gene Krupa was my first drummer inspiration (amazing drummer) (The Carmine Appice) Got to see and meet Buddy Rich Clearwater Fla, in the 70s, and saw and met Louis Bellson also in the 70s...thank you!
I don’t know much about drumming in any real technical sense, but I really enjoyed this demonstration. Spent a couple hours watching Rich/Krupa videos tonight, so this was really just super cool. Can’t imagine what those things sold for.
All three are beautiful but my ears preferred Louie’s snare. This was my first time hearing plastic heads side by side with calf skins. VERY enlightening! Thanks for a special video!
Muy buen video comparando las herramientas de 3 grandes. Muchas gracias por compartir. Very good video comparing the tools of three huge drummers of all times. Thanks a lot for sharing. (From Buenos Aires)
I was surprised that I liked the sound of the sound of the Gene Krupa drum over the other two. I never saw Gene Krupa in person. I had the good fortune to see Buddy and Louie live. I even got to shake Buddy's hand! Thank you for putting this together. I like how you added in some iconic Buddy moves while playing his drum. I assume you were doing the same on the other two but I am much less familiar with their playing.
Very Interesting. I am a guitar/bass player, but I love learning about Legends of Music. Enjoyed your great playing. Enjoyed them all, but preferred the Buddy Rich in the center.
That was great...and it's Buddy's snare all the way. The absolute, quintessential, perfect snare sound. (Mr. Maxwell done knows his rudiments, don't he!! Well done!)
Great video Steve...you are a treasure and above all we appreciate you sharing your knowledge of drummers and their gear. Great stuff..warm wishes from Vegas!
I lived in NW Indiana in the early 60's . One of my favorite memories was my folks allowed me to skip school to go hear Louie Bellson up in nearby Chicago . As a drummer myself I was in heaven .
Beautiful drums and playing! I'd also like to hear how these three drums sound in direct comparison with the snares off, and how the batter and resonant heads each sound in relation to each other.
Really loving this super fine single stroke Mr. Maxwell is sharing with us. Classical grip, more wrist than fingers. I'm a matched grip finger guy for many years and I have always envied this technique. Henry
As I have said before, I could listen to Steve play and speak for days and not get tired. There's no no one who can touch him for knowledge and presentation. Steve, can I please ask how you knew how to set up each of those drums the way that the masters had them? In particular, are the two Rogers Dynasonics identical apart from setting them up? Many thanks.
Fantastic drumming! Excellent stick work. It's interesting to me how each drum sounds like the drummers who played them. It shows how equipment choice and setup reflects your own style and personality. Great video and thanks for posting.
What an interesting video! Though I’m a huge fan of all three drummers, I am not one myself, so I was ignorant that, besides manufacturer differences in drum kits, that individual drummers would “individualize” the snare! And while the Krupa snare is “dryer” sounding, my fav snare is Buddy’s - seems richer, no pun intended! Thanks for the comparison!
That Krupa snare is just fabulous sounding. My younger brother Ron RIP was a huge Buddy Rich fan and had the Slingerland Buddy Rich signature snare chrine over wood. That drum was loud and would cut through anything, but also has great dynamics. Just a really nice snare. I don't know what it's worth but my guess is there might not have been a lot of that particular snare sold as most people wanted chrome over brass rather than chrome over wood so it might possibly be worth something. His grandson has it now and of course to him it is priceless.
Thankyou sir, all amazing sound! If i had a choice.... I would play the louie Bellson model. I think it had the most natural and extreme sensitive sound.💪🇺🇸❤👍
That 14 by 7 drum is an absolute super sharp tone. I collect that size but i never got a hear of actual model anywhere sweet as that. Amazing collection dont let these get away.
Great news guys, I’ve decided to sell my house and purchase the gene Krupa Gladstone drum.

Yeah, the drums. But, the mad skill of the drummer is what makes all this work. Well done Steve Sr.
All three are great... but that Krupa's snare. That's a complete new level of beauty.
genes sounds cool but i like louie’s the best
We all do I think 😉
@@drj602 Nah, the Rich sounds the best in my opinion.
@@HenrikBSWE it's like comparing an alto to a tenor sax. Each has its own distinct beauty.
@@andytay5507 Context man. Read the thread. But out of context you are right.
I keep coming back to hear these drums and played so professionally. No endless rimshot backbeats here. Thank you.
That Buddy snare... What a gorgeous sound
What an awesome demonstration and I am not a drummer although I am familiar with all 3 iconic drum legends. What a treasure to have all 3 snares together in one studio.
Ditto!
Thank you Steve. Great demo. I have always been a Krupa fan. He always played with such joy and enthusiasm.
Lars Uldrich is better🤣🤣🤣

A lifetime of perfection, and both the drums and the performer.😊
Playing all three of them together would have to top my bucket list. Thank you, kind sir, for letting me live vicariously through for about 5 minutes.
Excellent stick control Steve -- nice demo! Gene was the only one I never got to see live. Louie really impressed me, not only in his technical skill, but also in his musicality and enthusiasm -- a true gentleman.
Fascinating. I had the goog fortune to meet and speak with all three. And the presenter has some serious technique!

Extraordinary voicing emulating each master on his drum. Superbly done! Thank you!
Terrific! From a 72-yr old former pro drummer. Or, in the words of someone we knew of, "How sweet it is!"

Love when you started playing all 3 together! Beautiful sounding drums and great playing
Wow, immediately in my top 10 of all time favorite RUclips videos. Fantastic work. My wish list for the next three: Keith Moon, Art Blakey, Max Roach.
Keith Moon😂
Love the “snap” of the Buddy Rich snare!👍
Thanks for sharing. That's something you don't see every day. Wonderful drums. Amazing playing!
I appreciate to listen to these snares through current audio tech to appreciate better their sound. And they all sound beautiful and warm.
Wow Steve,! you have such (great skillful hands) 3 great sounding drums in your control, a truly great demo.
Absolutely love the history behind these drums! Three of the greatest!'

Very cool! Thanks, Steve!
Very Interesting. I am a guitar/bass player, but I love learning about Legends of Music. Enjoyed your great playing. Enjoyed them all, but preferred the Buddy Rich in the center.
Love this! Was fortunate to meet both Louie and Buddy due to their relationship with my drum teacher Joe Pulice. All of them gifted drummers!
That was cool and fun. I used to own a Rogers chrome dynasonic snare drum in the 70 & 80's
That was great...and it's Buddy's snare all the way. The absolute, quintessential, perfect snare sound. (Mr. Maxwell done knows his rudiments, don't he!! Well done!)
Very cool idea. An honor!
Very nice work! Excellent sticking! Thanks for posting!
Great Hands. very Clean. Awesome. Pete sr
Great stuff Sir. Thanks very much for the demo.
That krupa snare. Exactly why I love gut snares, synthetic or natural.
Fantastic performance! I love your classic style Sir! Cheers
Great demonstration, playing all three at the same time, really highlights the differences.
Thank you so much, sr Steve Maxwell!!!!
A gift to us, mere mortals
What an awesome display of snares. Thank you sir!
That Gene Krupa snare is gorgeous sounding
Amazing playing dude! Genes sounded different than most snares I’ve heard which is epic
I still use my black rubber Billy Gladstone snare pad I've had for 45 years. Awesome video.
Great video Steve...you are a treasure and above all we appreciate you sharing your knowledge of drummers and their gear. Great stuff..warm wishes from Vegas!
Hi Steve,man as usual presenting
us yet another premium video.Great stuff. To me the winner is the Buddy
Rich Dyna- Sonic.
Great demonstration. Thank you.
Wow, the history in those drums. Amazing.
Thank you Steve, Sir. Much appreciated and much respect for such priceless visuals and sounds. Your hands are incredible as well :)
Wow! I see why the Bellson isn’t for sale! Sounds like a less in-your-face Rich. So awesome. Thanks for the demo!
I lived in NW Indiana in the early 60's . One of my favorite memories was my folks allowed me to skip school to go hear Louie Bellson up in nearby Chicago . As a drummer myself I was in heaven .
Wonderful! Thank you! Real old school drumming.
The most AMAZING, and stunning thing for me in this video, was the revelation that there are people out there who still use AOL.
Great demo! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
All three sound great, and you sound great on all three! Beautiful! But the press rolls on the Buddy Rich Dynasonic? Amazing.
Beautiful drums and playing! I'd also like to hear how these three drums sound in direct comparison with the snares off, and how the batter and resonant heads each sound in relation to each other.
Great demo and great chops, man! Bravo 👏
Thanks Steve...great video, epic drums and terrific playing from you!
Gosh, that was fun! Great playing too.
That little 3 snare solo flex at the end 💪 ok! I see you! That got my subscription! Beautiful drums as well!!!

Excellent examples of stick control using the traditional grip we grew up learning
