Was looking for a 8x14 Black Beauty when I found out about Franklin drums. Had them build me a custom snare with the same specs and it blew me away, greatest snare I've ever played, and it was still cheaper than a Black Beauty.

That’s so sick. They have their own metal shell supplier here in the states, so it’s not a mass-produced type of thing. And I really appreciate that about Franklin!

Loooooove 12" deep bass drums. 24x12, best kept secret. Timbo, happy Saturday!

Cool lil kit Tim Tim! With that higher tuning on the snare, I'm getting a 70s Bill Bruford vibe with hints on Lars' St. Anger sound. Also Chad Sexton from 311, but that's just the cherry on the sundae and I'm not a fan of cherries cause they remind me of cough medicine. Anyway, good stuff as always and I hope to see you at the Chicago Drum Show!

My brother-in-law (also a drummer) showed me your Instagram and play-along tracks (which I promptly downloaded all of) and it has really changed my practicing. You are super entertaining and the KZread format suits your sense of humor and educational style much better than Instagram. Thank you for sharing your collection and always showing off the drums in a musical context - not just shedding away. Looking forward to so much more from you!

From my experience my 20 x 10 can project as well as a 22 x 18, just in a different beautiful punchy way

@timbofromkeno

11 ай бұрын

Oh, 100%. Little short kicks are very different, but there are so many more advantages to using them over something like that modern standard 22x18. And if you've never. tried a 24x12 or 24x10, you've gotta give that a try. It's a BEAST!

I’ve got all 22x14 bass drums on my vintage Tama Superstars and Tama Imperialstar kits. This is making me itch to chop them down to 10” for that punch you’re showcasing here. And…they’ll be easier on my poor old man bones and muscles. I’ve always loved 26x14 bass drums. A 22x10 proportionally feels like it would behave the same, but with a higher pitch.

Thanks Richard! I appreciate the kind words. For the tom heads, I use the Onyx top and bottom. The Remo equivalent is the White Suede Emperor, but the problem I've had with those heads is a variance in the film used from head to head. So, some of them have much more presence than others. This makes matching the sound of the toms a pain. So, I'd highly recommend trying the Onyx top and bottom, as I've had ZERO issues with consistency from head to head. Hope this helps! : )
