Hot Rodding a Ludwig "Super Brass" Snare Drum
Переглядів 3,3 тис.5 місяців тому
The Ludwig "Super Brass" 6.5x14" snare drum (LB403) is a beautiful drum in its own right, and a great tribute to a classic late-1950s model. But there are some modern additions to the specs that may or may not be improving the sound. Session drummer Dylan Wissing (Alicia Keys, John Legend, Drake) takes you through the steps he took to improve the sound, with some thoughts along the way (and one...

    What's the benefit of a 14x15 floor tom over a 14x14?

    • @DylanWissing
      @DylanWissing 25 днів тому

      Basically, slightly lower pitch. For me, a 14 floor tom is just too high pitched if it's my lowest tom, whereas often a 16" floor can get sonically swallowed up on a loud live stage when it's too low. The 15" diameter splits the difference perfectly for me, and I've used that size live for a couple of decades at this point.

    I love the innovation of the 'one point' tuning wire system and the ultra-light aluminum hardware. "Back in the day" I had an ingeniously designed Trixon kit and didn't realize until recently how lightweight, convenient and innovative that hardware was for a gigging drummer. Now that my back is 'several' years older ;-) - Lightweight is great! Thanks.

      I hear you! I think we were all sold on the idea that we were supposed to have arena-weight hardware back in the 80s and 90s, so that "old flimsy hardware" was supposed to be useless. Everything old is new again...

    @drumjedi5301 3 місяці тому

    As a gigging drummer, I really really appreciate this setup! I also pay close attention to space and weight savings, and volume control. If I ever decide to replace the little Sonor Safari I'm currently gigging (the older, inexpensive Select Hardwood model that sounds WAY better than it has any right to), the WTS drums are definitely my choice. For cymbals, I'm also a Sabian man, but I'm relying fully on the FRX line for this rig. They sound fantastic and have the volume control I need. I also use the Kelly Shu with a drilled-in XLR jack, and, like yours, it's a game changer! All my future kits will have one. Beautiful set up, man!!

    @silvermineband2719 3 місяці тому

    There aren’t many gear videos where I think, yep, every choice is solid. This is certainly an exception. Your gear list is absolutely my dream list. The WTS system is amazing. We used to have a local guy who made similar cable tune drums called Page Drums. Very limited distribution though. I already use the Yamaha Crosstown stands and I’ve put INDe mounts on several kits. My lightweight kit though is an Oriollo aluminum kit (with an INDe tom mount) and my snare is a Ludwig Standard aluminum. I also use TnR products (we lived in the same town and I would see them at gigs or drum shows). One cymbal I suggest is the Dave Weckl signature HHX crash from Sabian. I think it would pair nicely with those prototypes. Great video. Oh, and I don’t live in a town where parking is an issue or anything like that. My need for lightening the load was for a much more serious issue. I’m old and lazy!

    • @DylanWissing

  • @TheDeanHaemel
    @TheDeanHaemel 3 місяці тому

    Yamaha crosstown is the way to go. I got the set plus an additional cymbal stand and my hardware set up is 52 lbs lighter than the doubled braced DW set up. I carry it in the provided bag versus a big case and hand truck. ++

    • @DylanWissing

      Yes, the finish will scar. I use a mic bracket on my hihat and it leaves a mark. Each piece has it's own protective bag for transportation though. I have over 100 gigs on my set up and except for the bracket area on the hat stand it looks brand new... Good stuff. Even on windy outdoor gigs at the beach, it's rock solid.

    • @DylanWissing
      @DylanWissing 3 місяці тому

      Just to add my two cents, I agree with the other comments - I wouldn't plan on clamping anything metal to these stands. I do clamp my IKlip iPad clamp from IK Multimedia onto the cymbal stand, but that clamp is made of plastic and doesn't leave any marks that I can see

    Great video! Another thumbs up for INDe. I love my kit, and I wish they had the WTS collaboration when I got mine. It looks like you're using roc n soc thrones in the studio. Are you using them with the gigging kit also? Thrones always seem to be some of the heaviest items for hardware, and I didn't know if you had a lighter weight recommendation.

    • @DylanWissing
      @DylanWissing 3 місяці тому

      I love my Roc n Soc thrones, and am absolutely using the blue hydraulic throne you see here with my gigging kit. I find that throne significantly lighter than their model with the solid steel threaded post, and am happy to deal with the slightly heavier weight than a "lightweight" throne for the extra comfort it gives on a long gig.
