I don’t hear any reverb or compression in your videos, am I correct, Tony? I think you guys do super vids. All I care is that you do vids the same approximate way so you have a standard to go by. And you do kit mics, room mics, and a combination in your longer form demos, so how is that baloney? Sounds pretty honest to me.
I grew up in Chelmsford. I spend a lot of time in Worcester, however.
Do you gig in Worcester?
No, I've just recently moved back and am looking for opportunities to gig. I teach at Clark.
I hate having people hover over me.
Straight Satin maple, natural finish...14 x 6.5" with micro sensitive strainer and 10 lugs. It was listed as used, excellent condition, for $419, but when I pulled it our of the box to look it over (then put it away until Christmas, lol), it hasn't even been tuned up or played. My guess is whoever first bought it did not like that the seam on the exterior ply was between lugs instead of lugs covering that up. It surprised me a bit too, but as @jda would remind us, such a cosmetic feature is inconsequential to the sound. For me, the price was right.
You are aware that the Full Range are not made in the US?
I'm curious as to why this matters.
Of Striker's three choices, two are made in the US. I was just making sure he realized that. Only Gretsch top of the line snares are made in the US. The Full Range line is not actually made by Gretsch.
Do you know where the other lines are made? I'm just curious. I don't subscribe to the idea that drums made in the US are necessarily any better than anywhere else, but I'm wondering where Gretsch gets the less expensive lines made.
You can easily google for that info, as it has been discussed here and elsewhere.
Could it be the same place they get the Catalinas from?You can easily google for that info, as it has been discussed here and elsewhere.
I don't know...
Yes I was aware that the Gretsch Full Range Maple snares are made in Taiwan. I ended up ordering the Ludwig.
Definitely no reverb. I do use EQ and compression in mild amounts to get the sound closer to what your ears hear. Microphones hear differently than your ears do, so dry unprocessed microphone signal isn’t even remotely accurate.
