Pork Pie Copper - wow

[aparker2005]

Haven't been feeling metal snares lately, but have really been curious about copper. According to most, the Ludwig combines the best of the black beauty, 402, and the wood drums in one. I completely agree with this Pork Pie variant. It's an absolutely stunning sounding and looking drum.

I was about to buy another one, but wasn't a fan of some of the looks. This one really caught my eye. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the Copperphonic, I highly recommended this one!

I'd say I'd use it now over my 402 and black beauty on our next gigs. Currently it's the only metal drum that's made me put my beloved Rosewood snares on the shelf.

And another 1 handed quick sound sample!

Really like the die cast / flange rim combo.

Nice mono-dexter grooving, too

Oh no you di-ent!!! I know a couple of rosewood snares that a feeling a bit jelly, if you know what I'm sayin'...

Noce sounding/looking snare, I like that polished bead too.

 

[Fat Drummer]

LOVE that drum, congrats on the new family member, and I'm a fan of the polished bead also. What a handsome snare... welcome to the world of copper, it is the only snare shell material that I have more than one drum in.

I was about to sell my 402 for this one, but between this, my 402, black beauty, and Drumcraft bell bronze, I'm covered on metals completely. I just can't let any of these 4 snares go now. It's crazy how well the copper has some of everything in it. I don't think it's as dark as some say. This thing cracks!

Great looking snare.

I'm looking for a copper snare. Over Covid, I sold three of my four copper snares. I still have one but the pork pie looks awesome!

Yeah man I agree the polished bead sets the tone here, just enough bling to make that finish pop

I'm falling in love with the sound of this copper snare drum too...............

 

[JimmySticks]

Look @JimmySticks ! porkfest!

Not exactly a porkfest, but it's a start!

I'll be in crispy bacon heaven if I ever see a full Pork Pie kit on DFO!

Glad you found the sound Adam! If/when I go the copper route that’s the one I’d be eyeing as well… PP does it right for sure!

My pig pen just keeps multiplying as well…

I'd be curious how the bearing edge looks? (compared to ludwig)

They're not as extended out as Ludwig edges seem to be. More like a pearl sensitone or worldmax edges

 

[aparker2005]

Not mine, but great price on one of these incredible drums!

How does it do volume wise in live gigs? I’ve had my eyes on copper snares for a while and heard that they can be a bit too dark and midrange-y to be heard over loud guitars.
