Your hardware is the reason it sounds this good and the high tuning is still nowhere near as high as this snare will go and still not get choked. I love Rocketshells and there's nothing like them inside your hardware, just amazing.
+geometricpatterns6 doesn't sound any different than a wood or metal snare. Izt has been proven that the sound of drums are 80% the heads anyway, which is why drums can be made of plastic and still sound the same.
+wiremessiah it sounds like a great snare drum because it should. shells make a massive difference to the tonality of a drum. desired snare drum sounds need a resonant shell to produce at low, mid and high tuning. the density of shell material allows the drum to resonate at a given frequency. true, this can be any material, but it's how it resonates that is the key... to a great sounding, versatile drum.
Sleishman Drum Co no, it's mostly the heads and tuning. I have seen snares made of plastic that sound as good. these carbon fiber and other materials are just a gimmick. I can get a $50 snare to sound as good with the right heads and tuning. And "low middle high" is vague. I tune to specific frequencies with an electronic tuner.
wiremessiah Well if it's the heads then why does a Brady stave shell Jarrah wood snare sound way different at the same tuning? -because I've got the snares right here and everybody I'm asking coming into the store who are all drummers all say they sound different as well. What was that you were trying and failing to make a point about again?
I have a few questions about this. Firstly, are these shells for ANY drum (snare, tom, bass)? Second, how tight can I crank up the tension on one of those snares? Lastly, how are these snares when it comes to reducing sympathetic vibrations?
Way too much reverberation for my liking, I like the clean crack the snare has but the reverberation overtones afterwards is not musical in my opinion. Or should I say uncontrolled sound!
wack it up as tight as your skins can take. carbon shell has very little risk of breaking under high tensions. Shell can be used for bass, toms etc. just tell them your specs. However the free floating system may not be for you. IF you are still looking for carbon drums check out a custom drum company called "Ming", the are equally as good.
that thing is a monster

+wiremessiah congrats, however your argument is flawed and void.

Oh my gosh. that sounds incredible!
Oh lord - that high tuning sounds amazing!
Omg!! What a beast of a snare. Have to get one!! Incredible
Wow. That's a snare drum. Holy crap.
sounds like hes playing in a hangar!
How deep and wide is the snare bed on these Shells?
just got drum mag with these in it, amazing sound but the price is big
How much for a 13" piccolo?

Hi,
I don't see these on your website ???
Do you play with your eyes?
2:22 = holy crap O_O
Where can I buy one?

@FuzzyPicture yeah i dont like it lol
