Have you heard our single-ply steam-bent snares? Here’s one that was used for a studio recording. This snare is a beautiful 14 x 5 Solid Maple snare with vintage chrome hardware, Blue Sparkle finish, and Canopus vintage dry wires. These wires were modeled very closely to vintage Slingerland wires in terms of construction and materials used, right down to the number of spirals in the wire. This beautiful and great sounding snare is one of our tributes to the legendary Slingerland Radio Kings snares, and we wanted to capture the spirit of the era. This track which brings back visions of old Shanghai, brought out the best in this snare; all thanks to the beautiful and very sensitive playing of Jason Benedict Cruz.
The bonus here is that the toms are from an all-maple nesting kit that we had built for the recording studio. Man do they sound sweet!
“This is a track I played drums on for songwriter, Lim Yin Liang, who wrote this after being inspired by a concert we did together in tribute to the classic Shanghai artists of yesteryear.
I used a hybrid kit consisting of:
Soultone Cymbals
Custom Snare Drum made by Pantheon Percussion (makemeadrum.wordpress.com/)
Toms by Pantheon Percussion
Kick Drum by Canopus.
