Hey Tim !! Really informative video. Love the history of that snare. Not to mention details of your kit and cymbals. This is the content I’m here for. Well done my friend.
Luke! Thanks so much for the kind words. Honestly, I didn't know anything about this snare until I got hands on it too. Seems to be a pretty rare little drum. Lots of fun to play, though. : )
I have a 1946 Leedy and a 1952 Leedy and Ludwig snare and they both have extended snares and I have no problems with them. I think die cast hoops hold their tuning longer. I have a vintage Ludiwg 400 (circa 1961) it has triple flanged hoops and is probably the most famous and most used snare drum in the world and I used to use these little plastic things that you'd put over the lug nuts to hold them in place in the area of where your stick would hit the rim. I mostly use my Gretsch Renown kit and all the drums have die cast hoops and stay in tune real well but nothing compares to the sound of the "400".
Yes I prefer diecast hoops on most of my drums. Also the difference between flanged steel hoops and zinc diecast is not as great as many people make them out to be. Diecast has several advantages to any flanged hoop. Easy and accurate tuning in addition to tuning stability.
Wow! So I have this exact snare. I’ve had is since 1987, this was my first snare. Almost sold it for basically nothing lol. I’ve always thought it was a killer sounding snare drum and ended up keeping it. Glad I did. Thanks for the info!
So glad you kept that drum and stumbled upon this video. Thanks for the comment, Jason. Hope you stick around and enjoy some of the other funky stuff I post over here!
I’m eagerly anticipating the day when you get one of these rulllll fancy snares and there’s a card lodged under the snare wires that says. “Merry Birthday, Timbo. Seasonings greetings.” And may that newly gifted snare sizzle like a freshly dropped fryer basket.
Yeah, those were really great drums - the snare and the kit. And what's crazy is that even 10 years ago, in the US, you could still pick those kits up with the snares for a few hundred bucks. People just weren't hip to them!
The Mastercraft Series of Tama were all great. I had a 5" Mastercraft with the inlay in the wood around the center. I recorded with that bad-boy back in 1980 and I the clarity was superb. Too bad for me, I sold it (foolishly) many years ago.
That muted tone isn't really my thing, but I can see it being very useful in certain studio situations, especially if there's going to be a ton of reverb added to the snare. That open tuning is great! Even with the heavy cast hoops.
Rosewood snares are my absolute favorite. I had a 40th anniversary reissue, but much prefer the Pearl Masterworks Santos Rosewood over the Tama. Ludwigs AVH signature Rosewood is absolutely amazing as well
I wish I could find the Ludwig one just to hear how close they got! And that’s interesting about the Pearl model. I’ll have to see if I can find footage of one of those. But knowing Pearl’s manufacturing methods and how they affect the sound, I can imagine that’s a perfect match for the rosewood’s natural tone!
@@timbofromkeno Carter Beauford is currently using the Ludwig AVH Rosewood I found for them. Any video from 2016 on is that snare for him. And the Pearl is on my channel for a quick reference!
Sick! Love seeing you on RUclips more. In this video you mention you personally would not use this drum everyday. In a previous video you mentioned that you dislike wood drums in general. Can you speak a little more in depth about why that is? Maybe include some details of your personal preferences as of lately?
Thanks for the kind words, Slippy! Yeah, I'm definitely a metal snare guy. And the few I use most often are the 5 and 6.5" Supraphonic and the 6.5" Black Beauty. Why? They just work. If I had to choose one desert island snare drum, it's definitely the 6.5" BB. And I'm definitely going to do an in-depth video on why I love these drums over others sooner than later. In short, seamless metal drums retain the body that I love from wood drums, but have a certain high end cut that just sits perfectly in any mix. Plus, the tuning range on Ludwig's seamless drums is almost infinite. If I can answer anything else now, don't hesitate to ask. I appreciate you taking the time to watch this stuff!
@@timbofromkeno awesome info! I have only ever played wood snare drums and would love an aluminum or copper or something! My main snare has been a 6x14 Pork Pie Curley Maple for the past decade. Thanks for the response! Rock on!
@@Quartiano Always! Bill makes some great drums at Pork Pie. If you're looking for brass on a budget, I totally recommend trying to find a used Pork Pie BOB (14x6.5 black nickel over brass) snare. Usually, you can snag them for 250 or less used, and they're worth every penny!
@Timbo From Keno Have you tried Ludwig's new PorkPie "clone", the universal brass? Funny that someone decides to make a welded version of their BB and Ludwig comes back with "we can do that too!"
@@DanGrossDrums I haven’t tried Ludwig’s version, but I’d guess it’s probably coming out of the same factory at the Pork Pie stuff, so it’s probably great!
Man, really interesting videos! such a live presentations....no boredom at all!!! But u'd better to show or tell some information about type of snare beds of those many snare drums!!!! and some words aboyt edges.... 👏👏👏👍👍
Im loving these vids man. Could deffo hear that snare in a progressive jazz setting. Snarky or ghost note style bands. As for fries, England sucks for good fries, however even though the textures not outstanding, the fries from five guys that are done in peanut oil do have a superior taste to most regular fries 🤙
Gotta love those Five Guys fries. hahaha And thanks so much for the kind words, Tim. I really appreciate it. New videos coming soon. On Friday the 21st, you'll see some familiar British favorites. Keep an eye out!
I have the Imperialstar version of this model with a chrome over steel shell, die cast hoops, extended snares- and it SLAPS. Can be had for a fraction of the price of equivalent Rosewood or Bell Brass.
I have a Mastercraft 5x14 steel snare, probably the same drum. Excellent condition, $125 on craigslist. Even came with the original drummer, heads, wires, and straps. Beautiful drums. I've heard the lugs are fragile. Trying to find a few spares in case.
Good call, but those technically aren't extended wires. Though they're different (with that rail underneath the bottom head), they don't extend past either end of the drum. : )
Released yesterday in full on youtube, here's a whole album using the Ludwig LM402AVH. Generally tuned to Diver Down with "P3 Perimeter Burn" (already out as a single on all major streaming platforms) being especially and specifically tuned to Diver Down, because it's 100% inspired by it. Before post production, the snare itself is high at about c#. SM57s top and bottom, except P1-2 just a Sennheiser tom mic, but I did my best with that learning curve. Just forget about the mics and enjoy. Genre is orchestral funk. (Rest of this 2nd album officially released everywhere in a few weeks. 1st album also with this snare, except for one.) ruclips.net/p/PLyUbOYQEXdZTzgiWdSXuBwE2w9XqSbSQP&si=uVfgbMWyFKfru2il
Good snare video. I agree, I don't like those extended snare systems either. Had one on my Pearl Free Floater. Some parts fell off (that I never found again lol) so I just ended up bypassing it. As far as which one's easier to tune, die-cast or triple flanged?. I find die-cast much quicker and easier, after I got used to it, which didn't take long. I've got a Mapex Saturn and a Tama Starclassic kit, and the Tama is much easier and quicker (for me) to tune up. Love em both tho. I've found this to be pretty much universal on most die-cast vs triple flanged drums. As far as sound, that's subjective. The cast hoop (drum sound) seems more focused and punchy, where the flanged one's are more open and thunderous. Honestly, I dunno, I think the Saturn is more my speed (sound wise) where the Tama is much easier to deal with, has a great 'beeeuummm' sound, and is a lil more "premium". Thanks for listening, sorry for the jabbering 😅
Hey, I'm here for the jabbering! hahaha On the hoop stuff, I think for me, it's that the light triple flange hoops let the drum create more of the tone than the drum head itself. And while it's true that the shell and edge will affect the tone in any case, I really like to rely on the shell for tone if I'm paying a premium for the drum itself. I LOVE the older Mapex Saturn kits. I had one from about 2008/2009 a few years after it'd been made (picked it up used), and I really loved those drums. Mine was the maple/walnut shell and it was in this crazy silver to blue sparkle lacquer fade finish. Wonderful drums for rock, pop, and death metal (which I was playing at the time).
@Timbo From Keno Awesome. Very interesting take on the whole shell vs drumhead resonance thing. I don't know if my ear is good enough to tell the difference. My Tama and Mapex are extremely close in build and tone, the Tama being birch and bubinga, and the Mapex being maple and walnut. The sizes are the same too, with similar edges. So, funny thing, you mention the Saturn III's you had and dug. Mine is a Sat IV, which they made for just one year (2014 I think). It's basically a hybrid of the Sat III and the Sat V. It's literally 1/2 and 1/2 of a 3 and 5. It's got the shells (w/ sharp bearing edges) of the Sat 3 and the hardware of the Sat 5. The 5 is the same, only different sizes and rounded edges. I think you'd dig it
@@timbofromkeno they're awesome! Just drums and synthesizers. 2 guys. Very prog rock 🙂. The sound is like if John Carpenter, Van Halen, and Tangerine Dream had a 3 some after a Rush concert, Zombi would be the result.
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard the old Imperialstars from the 70s, but with the right heads, they’re formidable kits! Worth a listen if you can find a decent player with good mics, heads, and tuning skills. Lol It all makes a difference.
I HAVE PLAYED IN FRONT OF MANY DRUMS DW, SONOR, GRETCH.....BUT I ALWAYS LOVED THE SOUND OF TAMA'S ALWAYS..GUITAR PLAYERS OPINION.....NOT TO BIG ON PEARLS...
Yeah, Alex was a Ludwig guy for the most part. They even built him ply and solid shell rosewood drums so he'd use that instead of the Tama. I think more than anything, he landed on an LM402, though. And thanks for all the kind words. Means a lot!
I fell in love with that snare when the drummer from tesla used one on the 1 st album then several years later Tama came out with a shallow depth rosewood snare. But as far as 8 grand I'll pass.
I didn’t know this is the sound on the first Tesla record. Great piece of music history! And on the pricing, I totally get it. I’m working on a video about a 50 dollar snare drum I love. Sometimes you don’t have a pay an arm and a leg for a good drum!
I never thought about that. I'm sure they can definitely work at much a higher tension than standard wires. Is that worth the fuss for me? Probably not, as I don't tend to tension wires very high. But if I were an orchestral player, that would further make me want one of these rosewood snares. You could get some pretty incredible definition out of this drum in that context!
LOL Yeah, this particular example is probably a $2,250-2,500 dollar drum. And even at that price, I couldn't afford it. The vintage drum market has gone a little too bonkers over the last decade.
@@berenjarrett4210 Thanks Jarrett. I’m wrenching on next week’s video right now. Gonna show y’all an N&C Zildjian snare from 1989. It’s amazing. Keep an eye out next Friday! 😁❤️👊
@@timbofromkeno You’re correct! Alex used a Tama 6.5x14 Rosewood snare starting on the Fair Warning album through to the OU812 album. Outstanding snare drum!
Maybe not in its current form. But the tone wood itself could be a useful tool if a shell was designed well for orchestral applications and that shell was paired with the appropriate heads, strainer, and wires.
I love these longer form videos, you definitely know your stuff and it gives more context for these great sounds you’re getting! Keep it coming!!
Thanks Zac. More to come. I'll be posting about a Noble & Cooley drum made out of the Zildjian alloy on Friday. Keep an eye out! : )

That AVH snare is one of the most distinct (and likable!) in rock.
Agreed!
Woah, thats a super cool dampening system! Thanks for sharing about this awesome drum. Also, love the "No Chops" edit lol...
Lol I had to do those sirens! 😂 And man, that dampener is so great. They should bring it back for sure!
I have a 1946 Leedy and a 1952 Leedy and Ludwig snare and they both have extended snares and I have no problems with them. I think die cast hoops hold their tuning longer.

Hahaha Thanks Austin! 😂👊

@@timbofromkeno Built to the same specifications as it was in the early 80’s with the roller strainer and muffler knob
@@TonyT007 Nice!!
Yo, don't sleep on Del Taco fries
I’ve never actually had their fries. I gotta make this happen!!
I heard these snares are haunted by the ghost of hoshino. 👻
Ps I love all of these videos
hahaha Thank you! 🤣
Ted Templeton engineered that snare sound.
Very cool!
Popeyes French fries are the last meal hands down
As long as they’re fresh out the fryer and drenched in salt, I’m with you! 😂👊
I like a crispy fry, but a soggy snare.
I don't know what a soggy snare tone actually sounds like, but I want to now! LOL
search for the isolated drums for "in the still of the night" by Whitesnake. Killer soggy snare sound!!! hahaha @@timbofromkeno
Beautiful drum! But I'm not that special person! 😅
Fair!! 😂😂👊👊
Holy shit that snare has a lot of body, but maybe not eight grand tho lmao
LOL Yeah, this particular example is probably a $2,250-2,500 dollar drum. And even at that price, I couldn't afford it. The vintage drum market has gone a little too bonkers over the last decade.
@@timbofromkeno yep, still too much lmao. also great job with the video ,love the format. please make more videos
@@berenjarrett4210 Thanks Jarrett. I’m wrenching on next week’s video right now. Gonna show y’all an N&C Zildjian snare from 1989. It’s amazing. Keep an eye out next Friday! 😁❤️👊
@@timbofromkeno im a sucker for anything bell brass, couldn't wait cheers from Indonesia.
alex would need drum lessons to use that drum.. right?
Honestly, it’s almost necessary to play as heavy handed as he does to get the Van Halen tone out of this thing! 😂
🤔
🧐
He dont used tama drums!
He played Ludwig kits, but it’s widely publicized that he used this snare drum in the 80s and early 90s. : )
@@timbofromkeno You’re correct!
Alex used a Tama 6.5x14 Rosewood snare starting on the Fair Warning album through to the OU812 album. Outstanding snare drum!
Orchestral? Not even close!!
Maybe not in its current form. But the tone wood itself could be a useful tool if a shell was designed well for orchestral applications and that shell was paired with the appropriate heads, strainer, and wires.
Sounds like you're jumping on silver balloons in a warehouse. And that's ok.
😂😂👊👊
No snare is worth $8000.
I like to say-there’s a difference between an instrument and a collectible. And I don’t buy collectibles. 😂👊
Is that YOU Timbo?!?! Been following you on Insta for a while and now YT!
Hey! Yeah, it's me. I'm making the jump into RUclips now for fun. You digging the content??
@@timbofromkeno Absolutely amigo! From the drumless tracks, Insta content and YT so far is great. Glad I'm able to support you on another platform.
@@mobilesuitderka Thanks dude!! 😁❤️👊
