If you can really tune a drum, i would opt for a 2.3mm flanged hoop on top and a cast hoop on the bottom....i believe that stewart copeland made that popular, and it really works! (thinking back, he might have done it in reverse, but i prefer flanged hoops for a more full bodied rim shot)
any consideration as to what kind of wires or strainer assembly you will be using?
the Trick aluminium strainers are very nice and built very well, but if you dont want to drop that kind of cash, drumsupplyhouse and amdrumparts both have a good selection. |
I have not decided upon a strainer, probably a Fatcat or a Noble & Cooley. I have tried Puresounds but don't really like the sound they have, but that was a smaller 16 strand on an already dry 18 ply maple snare. If I go with a thinner shell I would probaly use cast hoops and for a thicker shell I might go with wood. I like the Trick and Ego strainers because they act like the one that I had on an Ayotte snare. It is not on or off but variable.
