Was the internal muffler engaged? When mine is wide open it has very noticeable and characteristic ring to it that I don’t hear at all in this video. Great playing as always!
How would you compare this to the 83 bell brass and the savage custom replica you featured awhile back? Would be interesting to hear the similarities and differences! Great video as always!
'83 bell brass has a similar tone with additional low-end and slightly more out-of-tune vibe. The 3mm Savages have a similar low-end with a different tonatily. Hard to describe, but we will have a comparison video in the future
Fantastic playing. Were you playing the bass at all because I couldn't hear it. That's my biggest complaint about Tama. Their underwhelming (and difficult to hear) 30 degree bearing edge bass drums. Usually Birch bass drums have a loud attack, heck crack that cuts through the mix.
So I have the superstar classic and I can’t find that sound in it. I think I might need to tighten my batter head. Currently using a Evans 300 snare side and back and forth on the batter Evans reverse power dot sound shaping and Evans coated HD dry. I might just be chasing a sound that is not there. But I like the sound of the one in this video. But the vintage birch is very nice. And technique is phenomenal. Makes me want to get my pad out and practice my sticking.
Crank the bottom head, then get the wires set. That will help you get closer to the sound in this video. Also, there's a free snare tuning video on our channel that explains how I tune
Vintage pink oyster sounded doubtful till I saw it, but the color is quite striking and looks ultra modern. And when you have a pro slugger at bat of course they're going to sound Headley Grange green.
I know this was a year ago, but I just saw this. I really like the DW snares, the wood ones. This is a good example of it. I like the way you tuned it. Great playing too ! Thanks guys...
I have a first gen stage custom that sounds killer and these be a much upgraded version of the same shell configuration makes me want a set badly. I played one on a benefit gig and loved them! IMO these vintage tour customs are the best Yamaha line ever produced!
