HOW TO INSTALL THE SNARE RAIL AND NEW WIRES ON A ROGERS DYNASONIC SNARE DRUM 

Thank you. Agreed. I love these snare drums. This, and my Ludwigs are all I need. Well that, and my 14 other snares. LOL! But yeah this is an outstanding drum.

My pleasure. Maaaaan that’s an awesome snare.

Thank you so much for the kind words, and for watching. As i’m telling all my viewers Super Thanks is now available on my videos to help support my YT channel 🤘🏻

To hear this makes my day. I'm still fine tuning the process, but this has served me well so far lol! If I make updates I promise to post a video. Thank you for watching, and thank you for commenting. Moments like this are one of the reasons I started this channel.

Thank you so much for the kind words, and for watching. Please note that the thanks button is finally active on my videos . 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

That makes me unbelievably happy to hear. This vid was a straight up labor of love. Thank you so much for watching, and hopefully subscribing.

@@KennySharretts hi Kenny I’ve just re-fitted mine with a Gibraltar wood hoop .mine is the same as your original one in wood with the dark blue mother of pearl finish …I got it half price it was brand new because the wrap was rinkled so I removed the wrap sanded it then finished it with hard wax oil it looks beautiful and after watching your set up video it sounds incredible….really really incredible….I also use a Yamaha ead at home in my loft for my low volume practice kit with low volume cymbals it’s great for learning songs for the band and practicing…your video on the ead was excellent really informative…

🙏🙏🙏🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Thank you so much. As always THANK YOU for watching!

Thank you so much, and thank you for watching 🤗

First of all thank you for watching.🤘🏻 Secondly if you use the string measurements from the video that should give you a great starting point to get the wires right. I’ve used the measurements on 3 other Dyna setups, and the drum setup quite easily. Finally, you can get new wires that fit your frame direct from Rogers/Big Bang.

Love those drums.

Thank you 😊

Agreed. They are awesome snares.

Odds are it’s a matter of finding balance between the rail strainer, and the wire tension. Try tightening up your bottom head to tight, but not mega tight. The head should sing when tapped. Then try the string measurements in the video to set up your rail. I do have a video coming out soon that covers installing the Reso head from scratch. Thank you so much for watching.

FYI. I just learned that the old Dynas that use the exact same rail used to have an elastic string mounted to them in addition to the standard strings. That elastic string was used to keep the snare off the head when in the off position. I don’t why the new ones don’t come w that but the rail has the holes for it. You should look into that to solve your problem. FYI I had the same problem but the problem went away when I changed my heads.

Yeah it’s a fine line, and yes I do. I’m about to go into studio with my 5” Dyna that’s still factory set so i’m going to take some notes so it’s a 100% process.

Btw it’s often because the rail is too high. Loosen the rail a bit, while tighten the wires a touch, and see if that helps.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I haven't setup a DW True Sonic snare yet so I do not know if these settings will help. I do know I love my Dyna-sonic snare drum.

I'd go with the Rogers. Dw got the idea from Rogers.

@@jamescook6406 it's an amazing drum indeed. Absolutely love it.

Bro I loooove Spaun drums, and his designs, but this snare is an essential sound to have in the collection. Just so unique, and so good. Thx as always for watching.

thank you so much for the kind words. This drum can be a challenge to set up so a sense of humor is a must. When this drum was sent to me I it was set up as it is at the Rogers Shop. So I took the measurements before I put on a new bottom head, and installed new wires. I've set up 4 Dynas since this vid, and it's worked for all of them. This method can leave it A TOUCH closer to the head than I like so I encountered the same issue at first. I had to have the tension dial set exactly where it was when I made the marks. I like the frame snug as well. The frame should look a bit tilted when disengaged with the tensioner side lower than the butt plate side. Have you tried these measurements?

Did you ever get this issue resolved? I just a 5 x 15 and it’s doing the same thing. If you got it resolved please let me know how you did it. Thanks

@@eddieavakian Hello mate. I never got it solved, I just kept tinkering until it was the best it could be. I can only play with snares off very lightly. Fair trade off for those crispy ghosties. Let me know if you find a solution! I also unscrewed the little plates on the bottom hoop either side of the snare bed. My crappy method is to have the drum mounted on the stand, then sit underneath and balance the rail by eye, and keep experimenting. There's definitely a sweet spot. I also recommend getting the pure sound snare wires for dynasonic. The stock rogers one will start snapping wires when you crank the tension. Sorry to not be more help!

@@tadhg3 thanks for the reply. I’ll see if I can figure it out. If I do, I’ll get back to you and let you know how I fixed it.

@@tadhg3 so I put the stainer dial halfway and then loosened the butt plate stings so the rails clears the drum a little more than before. Then I found a good balance for the strainer tension. So far this is working but you need to find the sweet spot.

The stock head is great. It’s a Remo diplomat straight up. Awesome on getting a Dyna. You will love it. I still have the stock head on 2 of mine. It’s time to change em soon, but they are still killing it. Thank you for watching, and commenting.

@@KennySharretts thanks brother! Keep up the vids. Love ‘em!

Alas no.

Yes it does, but Rogers asked me to a video, so I was happy to oblige. 🙏

@@KennySharretts : OK thanks!

While I do not disagree that the fundamental source of the Dyna-Sonic’s legendary sound is the shell (just listen to a Re-Issued wood Super Ten) , there is an undeniable sweetness to the sound of a Dyna because of that “archaic” rail. They can be a challenging to set perfectly, but when you do? Pure, rich, buttery, pillowy, snare greatness. Both in sound, and playability. When I first got my re-issue, I played about 50 gigs in a row where all the sound engineers for those gigs walked up after the first set, and all said the same thing : “ What kind of snare is that? That’s the best sounding snare I’ve ever mixed”. With that being said, if you love the tone of these drums, but don’t want to mess with the rail check out the re-issued Super Ten’s. They are amazing! sweetwater.sjv.io/9geEmE Thank you for watching, and commenting. If you haven’t subscribed yet please do. 🙌
