5 or 8 for me

I love these kinds of videos comparing different drums. Unfortunately the Mrs has cottoned onto the fact I love them enough she's figured out how many snare drums I own and I'm getting the evils...

The drummer in our class in school (there's always one) used bang on (I thank you... ) about how his snare had the most chains of any drum available on the market.

I had / have no idea what that means or whether that was a good thing or a bad thing but it always sounded like "But this Amp goes up to 11 to me

Hehe. As you can tell from my numbers, I (generally - there are always going to be exceptions of course) favour a nice snappy snare without much reverb.

And an aside, but one of my favourite song (drum) contrasts is Foo Fighters Walking After You.

The original album track is a great song.

But the
single version featured Hawkins on the drums with some sublime snare work. Absolutely love it.


(edit: I'm not suggesting that the only change is the drums, I'm just focusing on them due to their impact to the whole "feel" (for me))
