We always enjoy getting to spend time with drums that bring something different to the table when it comes to design and sonic attributes. The Focus Series 14x6” Maple snare drum from Doc Sweeney Drums checked all of the boxes while also referencing a unique design concept that dates back 100 years.

One of the best sounding snares I have heard in quite a while. It reminds me of how my 1940s single ply maple Slingerland snare acts - open and beautiful at just about any tuning.

Sounds like a snare

That’s my philosophy; as long as the drum is round and not made out of materials so bad that it falls apart, any of them will sound good

@willymccabe6602 3 ай бұрын

agree. nothing particularly unique about it to me.

@liamdempsey7072 3 ай бұрын

I get the impression this is one of those in person, more for the drummer, kind of things. Don’t think mics to it justice!

@pinelybones 3 ай бұрын

@@liamdempsey7072 that as well haha, nuances that the drummer hears and prefers

They build some incredible drums., love there innovation,and may I add they don't gauge the consumer. , you get what you pay for.!!

I'm generally not a fan of super high tunings on snares. But that one I really like.

@the6ig6adwolf 3 ай бұрын

I've always been a fan of low tunings for snare drums, but in this case, I actually preferred the higher tuning. What is this sorcery?

If you guys can get hold of a Premier Project One snare (they have an internal shell and an external mic port) I'd love to hear your take on it. They also did a 'hollow shell' kit with the resonator and black shadow kits

I like this snare quite a bit, but I could not hear a lot that was unique. Perhaps in person the sound may be more distinctive. So, a nice one for sure, but not tempting for me to go get one. Which is nice, since sometimes I see you highlight videos and then start shopping!!

I’m thoroughly impressed 🎉❤

It sounds great!

This snare sounds fantastic! The design ethos reminds me of a wood version of the Dunnett 2N series with the flange only on the top.

It seems as if it could be a good drum for concert snare: Delécluse etudes, concert parts and so on.

Sounds fantastic...if this is only because of this special re ring is annother question....maybe a more standard re ring or none at all would be pritty close i guess....but a little bit of something spectacular,a bit something to talk about,is ok too....look at all the birds ...the male ones.... it's all natural. Thanks for this epesode....inspiring !

I have a question beside the snaredrum. What sticks do you use and what cymbal/Hihat? Thanks a lot! Amazing content over all!!!👌🥳

@benkornak 3 ай бұрын

Sticks look like the Promark Carter Mac signature sticks and hihat look like Zildjian avedis series

@williehamilton1533 3 ай бұрын

Nice snare. What snare mic is that?

@SoundsLikeADrum 3 ай бұрын

It sure is! That's the AKG C518M that we use on snares and toms in most of our videos. All of our equipment is listed in the descriptions of our videos if you're ever curious about anything else. Cheers!
