Fun project snare completed today. A late 1950s/early 1960s Gretsch Dixieland Snare, 14 x 5.5. Replaced the old clips and rims for new 2.3mm 6-lug hoops, new Puresound Snare wire, new strainer cord, Hendrix sleeved washers and a Evans dry Genera batter head with a hazy Remo Ambassador on the snare side. Nice pitch high and low and super dry with the new head. Records fantastic and the new hoops (not period I know don’t hate me) make all the difference in the world in keeping this snare in tune. This is a keeper. #gretsch #gretschdrums #vintagegretschdrums #remo #evans #puresoundwires #puresoundsnarewires #vintagedrums #vintagesnaredrumsnj #vintagesnaresnj (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvjpaBUgbPP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cmjsu0du72h2

I like bringing alternate percussion to gigs when the music supports it. Fun to bring the Djembe — but not always fun to carry it. Here is my Pearl travel Conga (Tumba) drum. Amazing sound packed in a few inches high. With a mic on it sounds exactly the same to my ears as a full size and it fits in a backpack ! Fun for beach jams and drum circles too. #conga #pearl #pearldrums #jam #drumcircle #vintagesnaredrumsnj (at New Jersey)

I love having a gig less than 1 mile from the house. Getting this little Gretsch kit packed up and loaded in is a breeze. Recently retro fitted the @bass.plate on the 20 inch kick. Sounds and fits great. #gretsch #ludwigsnare #vintagesnaredrumsnj #zildjian #bassplate #vater #paiste (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUJPsKgvQ-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q4te1squjm40

Wow this ones a keeper. Ludwig Supraphonic 5x14 dated somewhere in the 1980-1984 window based on the serial number, 2-hole P-85 throw and the Ludaloy sticker on the inside. Not a scratch on it and all original everything. new coated Ambassador on top gives it a huge crack, ring and ting! Love it. One of the most recorded snare drums of all time. #ludwig #supraphonic #vintagesnaredrumsnj (at New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuWfgj0gV7D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fec94q494uit

A 1967 Acro heading to a new home today. Picked up quite a few Acrolites in 2018 looking for that quintessential sound for my own collection. Interesting comparing a number of snares from the 60s how each one sounds a bit different. I kept a April 1966 one for myself and now have Acrolites from the late 70s, mid 80s and an early 90s Black Galaxy.
