I haven't noticed ANY music-based copyright claims on my channel - it's always video claims.
Thing is, I do nearly all cover songs and my clips are all public domain. In the case of my channel, YT isn't protecting legitimate music copyright holders AND it's allowing bogus video copyright...
Lotta good drums mentioned here (I'll second Supralites.)
In this bracket, I'll nominate Slingerland's 60s/70s COB Sound King snares. Another excellent yet inelegant plain Jane drum, but this one sounds and feels distinctively different.
"I’m hoping the Aluminum Rims mount has a thinner rubber profile so that will not happen"
In effect, it does. The alloy version is in two pieces which together have the same size and dimensions as the old rubber. For tight fits, one can remove the upper portion for a lower profile.
Cool zombie thread. I kept that cymbal and removed just the top logo, leaving the bottom intact for ID. By now the question is whether to clean it. Nah...
I say this calmly and rationally, without exaggeration, if you will.
There is Pearl phenolic and beneath that is everything else vintage MIJ. Not easy to find but worth the hunt.
