Truly. It was a joy to play!!

I feel the same way about my different snares. It changes the feel and mood of how and what I’m playing. I’ve had a fellow drummer tell me there’s different mojos in each snare. Some you just can’t stop playing. I also use that to justify buying more snares. I assume guitarists feel similarly about their stock of guitars.

That is 100% it. One perfect example of this is Questlove. At The Roots' studio in NYC, he has a room with a drum set and it's surrounded by walls of snare drums. He gets each to make one sound that he really likes, and then they stay that way. So, he can pull the right vibe out for the right track. Brilliant!

Loved the old camco pedals back in the day.

If you liked the old Camcos then try the DW 2000 pedal. When my speed king finally gave up the ghost I looked for something similar but not a pain in the backside & the 2000 was by far the closest. Has a beautiful feel: light, sensitive, fast, easy to adjust, just a great pedal. Cheap too.

I just love Fridays, in general but now even more because I have these nuggets to look forward to from the mind of Timbo. I have a DW maple 5.5 I got in 1997. Behind the misses and the kids, it’s what I’d grab in a fire. It’s not a Cav but sure sounds pretty. Speaking of pretty, that Goddamn prototype dark ride! Whoa, man. IMO that should be your sig model Turkish ride. I’m not sure who we need to talk to but this needs to happen. I’ll damn well buy one. Thanks for bringing us this, I always learn so much and always have fun in the process. Stay golden pony boy 😂❤🎉

That's from that early era when DW was still having their shells made by Keller. Those are some of the most sought-after drums of the 90s. I'd grab that over just about anything else in a fire too! And I really love that Turkish ride. I'll have to talk to them about doing a short run or something!

Love the DW/Craviotto snares, they're some of the best drums ever made. For a bit of context, Paul Jamieson who made the drum for Steve Smith, is a legendary LA drum tech, who famously worked with Jeff Porcaro for a long time, and is the co-inventor of the Pearl Drum Rack Jeff used.

That's a great way to do it, Steve! I'd guess that certainly sounds fantastic. I had a pretty old C&C kit that was made out of the Keller vintage mahogany shells, and it was one of the most radical sounding drum sets I've ever owned. I can't say enough about it.

DW makes some great drums for sure - they aways have! What's cool about the drums today is that they have all sorts of technology that they put into them. The normal plied drums are made in a two step process. The first set of molds is hot, and then they're put into a second set of cold molds after. I believe they're they only manufacturer to do that. Pretty cool stuff!

The thing a lot of Keller haters don't realize is, the shells are made to the drum company's specifications. They aren't the same as the off-the-shelf Keller shells anyone can get from Precision Drum Co. I might be mis-remembering, but I seem to recall Ray Ayotte saying in a magazine interview that he even had Keller cut the wood plies off the logs in a specific way. (He didn't actually say Keller in that interview, but he did confirm the shells weren't made in-house.)
