if aliens had to come here and farm every snare drum on the planet but you were allowed to keep one....which would it be?

[cruddola]

We have tons of illegal aliens here. Are you referring to Space aliens or Illegal aliens? Anyhow neither will not have possession of my beater '70s Premier brass-shelled snare.

 

[cruddola]

I really wonder what happened to this band.

Heard they went down to Mexighanistan and were enslaved into making Chapo's escape tunnels.

 

[Matched Gripper]

Simple. The one I never use, but the one I'll never part with

Never use? That’s a 1st degree misdemeanor in most jurisdictions.

many of us have multiple snares. but if you had to keep just one.....which would it be and why?

Hi fivestarkid,

I happily answer this question each time it's asked, no worries.

My opinion changes from time to time, but for a while it would be this...

2012 Gretsch USA Custom Stanton Moore Signature Model.

The question is what would you do if they showed up to take your favorite snare? Simple,I’d beat it. There not getting my bob snare.

Didn’t Bun do a record with one of the Hanson boys?

Yes - Tinted Windows. It’s a good rocker.

I’m with you - love this question every time it’s asked.

Yamaha Anton Fig signature snare with maple hoops.

 

[pwc1141]

My go-to Brady 12" x 7" Sheoak block with Maple hoops.....

 

[Pounder]

Aliens! Honestly I don’t know if I could pick anything fast enough to get those aliens out of here whichever one they want they can have!

 

[fusseltier]

My Tama Star Walnut 14x6.5 snare.
It's a work of art and sounds great.

 

[Dumpy]

I would probably just hide a shell and parts to put a new one together. If that gets the aliens away quicker, I’m willing to sacrifice.

 

[Pibroch]

Yamaha copper 14 x 4

 

[cworrick]

continuing the alien theme I'd ask the Aliens what ever happened to these guys

do you still have them and how are they doing

(I'll find the snare thread for you)

I'd ask the aliens to return Elvis.

Everyone around here farms crops and livestock, but Aliens know how to farm Snare Drums?!
IF that's anything like farming cattle that will put all the drum makers out of business!

I wonder what kind of combine you need to harvest them.

 

[Jeremy Bender]

Only one drum left to keep? My Noble and Cooley steambent maple. I could play rock, big band or symphonic with it if called to.

My latest.. Mapex Brass Cat. Super sensitive, dual snare adj and fact it can broadcast big or small without annoying ring requiring muffling.
I have Osteo but the Cat makes it seem like I'm young again, especially l.h. / trad grip.. rolls, snaps, fills etc

 

[sixplymaple]

If I had to only keep one drum it would be my 7”x14” 15ply DW 100% Santos Rosewood Snare. Even though it’s deep, it’s versatile enough for almost everything I play. It‘s loud, has a wide tuning range, and looks stunning!

I'm an alien... please send me all of your unwanted snare drums immediately to:
42 Martin Luther King Blvd.
Zorg Crater District, Mars 10e6

I would keep the most expensive one I own. 1974 B/O Ludwig LM402 ($125.00 new). I couldn't justify keeping anything more expensive with my level of talent.
