| That snare for the Denali track...
There's a lot of room mics in it.
My guess would be maple snare ( a biggun... 14x6 or 7) that has a very weird tuning going on. Really freakin tight batter, very freakin loose snare side. Or, maybe the opposite... freakin tight snare, looser batter. But my guess would be the prior....
It's definitely wood, not metal. It doesn't have the crack associated with aluminum/steel. And not the midrange power of a brass drum. Definitely wood...
I'd try out Remo's Controlled Sound heads. They're quickly becoming my favorite snare head. It has the really open sound of the Aquarian heads, with a bit less overtone ring. It's the perfect middle ground in my opinion. You don't need to tape the head, so you won't loose the open sound. Or Evan's Power Center heads. They're basically the same idea.
But, I have a feeling that the sound you're seeing it that example has more to do with compressed to fvck room mics than the actual drum.
Sample it, and just use that...... HOHOHO... I kid I kid... |
