is it possible to own too many snares?

Whenever I'm sad, I talk to my snares and they always give me some sympathetic vibration. They get me.

David: Talks whilst holding the snare Snare: *VVvvVvVvvVvvvvVvvvVvvvVVV*

me: has six snares rdavidr: laughs in acrolite

David's hand gestures are essential for life

Quick comment on the Luddy badges - The Transition series of badges were used between Nov 1958 - Nov 1960 during the brand switch between WFL to Ludwig Drum Co. In that period, you can find drums that mixes WFL and Ludwig hardware

David : I have too man snares Me wishing I could get a new snare but cant because of Rona

The bells are percussionist-gold!

its always a good day when David posts

Well, you know the joke... How many snare drums does a drummer need? One more!

Love your down to earth no fuss insightful videos David. Thanks. Nice buzz cut. Really funny spraying the box ciao

That Ludwig drum; the painting could be original because the grommet there doesn't look tampered with, or replaced, as best I can tell. The top rim looks to be Slingerland, the bottom looks to be a brass hoop which is most likely original. The paint would be referred to as "Duco," meaning Dupont Company paint (same term is used to often describe the two tone finish on some drums). That transition era badge is between late 1958 and into 1960 when William F Ludwig II bought his name back and began making drums under the Ludwig name again.

David: I have too many kits and too many snares Me: *I HEAR OPPORTUNITY* Just give some away so that you have more room

Remo makes specific drum heads for out of round vintage drums and it’s a game changer- Remo classic fit coated or not coated

Had a great drum week myself. Got my first Black brauty. Snagged a vintage gretsch ssb bass drum and scored a Tama royal star in amazing shape just needs to be cleaned

cool video, the magnet test for the brass shell was pretty cool too!

I have almost the exact same supraphonic, its a 917 too! Easily one of my favorite snares for sure.

Dude keep making these vids of you selling stuff we love them

The Pearl sensitone aluminum is my favorite snare in the world.

Ive just ordered an ajax snare to restore and im so happy!

Like your Imperial Star snare drum at the end of your video .The Pearl sensitone aluminum is a great snare I think you'll like it . I had a 6.5x14 Pearl aluminum snare drum and I really enjoyed it but I sold it. The Ludwig supraphonic the shell that you have that has a lot of pitting you can have the Chrome professionally removed and then shine up the aluminum shell and it'll look pretty bright give it a shot. That's a pretty sweet 8x15 old Ludwig snare drum you have there, can't wait to see what you do to it and also hear it.

Nickel plating is put down on the brass before the chrome, that's where the magnetism comes from. Cheers!

I hope parallel universe David is doing okay

That Pearl snare looks amazing

good one. thanks!

Tie a string around the bells and the other end tie a pull loop and place it by the door bell button.

Hey David, I have an old Tama Imperialstar 10 lug steel snare that I would really like to restore! It needs a lot of work, but I was wondering if I could email you some photos with a few questions?

You can attach these jingles to some kind of drilled cymbal, or stick them with some tape to a normal crash, i think it would sound quite nice.

I've also been having the same issue here lately with some people selling stuff on fb or Craigslist.. Seems like they overprice alot of times and sadly they don't even know what they actually have and get offended when you prove otherwise..Its a gamble when meeting up. People are people i guess...

David you legend please answer I know you'll know.. Does the remo quick clutch fit inside the pipe of the iron cobra hi hat stand? Thanks for all the knowledge dude!!!!!

Dave uploaded this on my birthday

Damn man. Ur so lucky having the money and space for all those drums. Keep making vids man I gotta get my drum fix cuz my e kit doesn’t do it for me.

stay safe mr.david always watching your video i love it

I've got 1 snare and I'm pretty happy with it

I see a Terry Bozzio kit in the future!

Oooo man! I'd put tube lugs on that Supra shell. That would look soooo cool.

did you ever make the bells usable, and if so, where would I be able to snag a set?

Question please. I'm attempting restoring a 1960 round badge Gretsch snare. Great snare but it has a finish separation (1.5" bubble). Would you have a way of flatten it back to the wood shell? Thank you. Love your vids on vintage restoration awesome work.

love this kind of videos

Cool stuff

I like if you say "i buy it because it's a cheap" 😁, just like what i do when buying secondhand snare or other drum stuff 😁😁, btw very good classic snares...

That snare is monstrous!!!

Hello David, have you ever tried electro plating to restore lugs or rims?

Consistently chill videos 🙂

I found a weird 9x13" trans badge stamped in '60, same lugs. It was in shambles then i fixed it up real nice. Cant find any info on it like the shell but damn i love that odd size!!

Nice video Love you drumming videos

I can vicariously satisfy my inner hoarder thru you, Dave. :^V

I owned a Ludwig snare from this era in this color. It looks factory. It’s the same dark blue as the blue/silver fade duco. Look at the back of the grommet if you want yo know if the badge was removed.

@rdavidr I MUST know where you got the pink sparkle wrap! 😍

i have seen your channel since late's 2016, regards from argentina!

Me: 5 Snares: DW Design Series Nickel over Brass 14 X 6.5 [my favorite}; pdp Concept Maple 14 X 5.5 (came with the PDP 6 Drum Kit I purchased Used last year); DW concept Maple Black Wax 10 X 6.5 Popcorn : Mapex 13 X 3.5 Piccolo ; and a Griffin 13 X 3.5 Piccolo. Except for the Mapex Snare and the DW Popcorn , I replaced the Batter snare heads with Evans HD Dry heads. Stock wires used on all the drums. They all produce "different" sounds. I play solely as a Hobbyist in Retirement (70 YO), and have set up my kit to include playing either the PDP or the DW as my main snare, mount the Popcorn snare on my Hi Hat stand, and either he Mapex or the Griffin as a side snare off the kit. Allows me to add some "spice" when I play to MY MUSIC. My observations : the Pdp Maple, the DW Brass snare, and the Griffin with the HD Dry heads produce the most pleasing sound ( no mics or EQs), to me in my Finished and acoustically untreated Basement. With The Mapex, I use the stock head (Remo UC coated); the DW Popcorn snare has a stock Remo coated that is wearing - just purchased a Remo Controlled sound with center dot head that I will install to see the sound difference. The Piccolo and popcorn snares do add some Flare to the sound as I roll around them for some Fills, especially in the Latin Rock (Santana) plays. Happy Drumming to All. I guess Variety is the Spice To Life.

My selling ventures include selling a "Revere" snare from a thrift store and a HCS ride, they both sucked so I wasn't expecting to profit but I didn't even break even after paying for shipping. But I bought a Pearl Sensitone Steel and a Tama Imp Star.

hello, I need some gaskets made, if you can for a Ludwig Standard snare?? thanks

Ill buy some of those bell clusters like any you want to let go.

if you can count how many you have, you have not enough. Texan gun rule

Awesome vid man, love your posts. I often pretend I live my life like yours. Hey will you ever get any more of those teal kick drum stickers? They were sick!

lol I have 2, a Tama silverstar and a Rogers Dynasonic big R

Good video Dave

Snaring is caring!

Sick dude

always love to see your video🤘🏻

Turn those bells into ride sizzles on a chain.

Hi, I love your content. greetings from Germany

You should do more drum hacks and cymbal recipes

best use of rototoms is taking them apart and making spoxe hats.

Acro, supra, black beauty, classic maple....yes, Im in love with ludwig snares. 😅😂

Do you recommend me getting some rototoms cos id use them more than octobans but i want one of them

As far as I'm aware, Rogers drums were only made in the U.S.A. That was until they went belly-up and sold off to Brook Mays in 1998. I believe some of the Rogers Drums I had during the Brook Mays era were maid in Taiwan. In 2006 Brook Mays sold off Rogers to Yamaha who in turn sold them to Dixon in 2017. Rogers Drums are now being handmade by Bill Detamore of Pork Pie Percussion for Dixon.

What website did you get the tubes from and what size/thickness?

Can never have too many snares, baby!

Love these vids

You should do a video on all your snares

I’ll buy the Rogers snare drum

Speaking of Snares, does any one have an opinion on the Premier 2000 snare?

Omg, I want that aluminium pearl sensitone!

Looking for a new snare drum and want to stay in the 400$ range. Currently playing a big black brass by pork pie. It has a nice sound but I’m pretty sure it’s warped because the end of the hit on it has a weird wamp noise. Basically looking for suggestions on something for rock with a nice deep but crisp hit if that makes any sense

Can you do a full drum collection for me pleassseeeeee

Do you have a junk 18” floor Tom you willing to get rid of???? Trying to make electronic module fancy case

Love ur vids david

Never too many snares!

“lets check out the snare” “but before we check out the snare..”

Do a comparison between the beat up superphonic and the clean one!

I actually have that same 15x8 snare but mine has no paint on it other than that it looks the exact same

I saw a sky blue Ludwig snare on your shelf. Is it for sale?

Man I’m always checking Craigslist and never find good deals like you , we even live in the same area

Hello David

Id be interested in octabons if you ever decide to sell

This is my favorite episode of Hoarding: Buried Alive

Do a snare collection please

Please make a video of making octobans

One can never have too many snares!

Need oneeeeeeee....🥁🥁🥁🥁

You should put rivets in one of those snares.

As someone that has had a snare stolen the title just sounds like "I have a ton of money!".

I take one David 👀👀👀

Since Rogers is making spare parts again, it's a better time to get Rogers.

Hey man, just in case you still have both Ludwig Superphonic shells, you could leave the ugly one as it is and make a sound comparison with the same hardware and heads. Would be an interesting video, at least to me

damn that dyna

Do you have a Majestic Prophonic snare?

dude,, you did it at parking lot haha
