Thanks brother it was the wait for and the continual wait for parts that took the time on this job. I will say the sound is unique and love snare loves a really thick head and dampening, I’m going to do another video on this to get that real fat Gadd sound.
Gaddamn! Excuse my ignorants, but your saying the washers are kinda proprietary? For which part? The lugs on the inside of the drum? Does this have standard wires on it? Or does it have the 10 strand that gadd helped develop with yamaha? While i dont think itd be a huge change, i do like that they have 5 sets of 2 strands, amd i see that quite a few places still sell them. Im supeised theyre not more in the market, as sort of "signature wires", even tho they kind of say they are, its not like you can just buy em everywhere, theyre more like a replacement wire for the signature snare. Id also be curious to see if a stage custom birch snare could sound similar to this drum
Nevermind about the washers, I went back n see what ur talking about.tension.rod.washers. I didn't know they where "exclusive" . The only Yamaha thing I have is a stage custom, and I believe the washers don't come off the rods? If I recall correctly, in that,I guess they put the washer on, than cut the threads and the washer becomes locked on the tension rod. Anyways, cheers
