I often hear it said that the Ludwig LM 402 is "one" of the most recorded snare drums over the past few decades. Out of interest, what are the others?
Not sure I got the terminology correct - I was really meaning 60's to current.Ahhh.......sorry man, you said "modern music"....my bad. That kinda leaves out the Slingerland then.
And I wonder how this claim is substantiated.I often hear it said that the Ludwig LM 402 is "one" of the most recorded snare drums over the past few decades. Out of interest, what are the others?
I actually get calls from studios I've worked in to rent them from me
so my snares are making money for me when I'm not even there
I probably should but I don'tJust curious, do you keep insurance on the snares that get rented just in case something happens while they aren't in your hands? I know I would be hesitant to let someone I didn't know play my stuff. Especially something as old and irreplaceable as what you have.
I probably should but I don't
the only studios I've rented them to are run by guys I've known for years and trust ... and drummers who have borrowed them have mostly been guys I either know well or heard of
you have me thinking now ... but I feel like even if something did happen to one of my drums I'm not sure insurance money would satisfy the loss.
... searches for Rogers Powertone info ...on every recording session I go on I bring 3 snares
'64 Ludwig Supraphonic
'65 Rogers Dynasonic (wood shell)
'65 Rogers Powertone (wood shell)
we always run through each snare and pick which is best for the given musical situation ... and 9 times out of 10 the producer or engineer picks the Powertone
the mid 60s Powertone is one of the most underrated snare drums in history but its sound is widely picked over every other snare during a blind test in my experience
I was gonna say this one too, especially in the 90's.Another popular studio snare is the Tama Bell Brass ( actually bronze ).
