| Frame Drums | ||
| Frame drums are among the oldest and most versatile of drums. Most cultures have some type of frame drum; the Egyptian Riq, the Brazilian pandeiro, the kanjira from south India, the middle eastern tar and bendir ,and the native American versions are but a few of the available frame drums. Of course, the frame drum most Westerners are familiar with is the good old tamborine. | ||

Snare Wire Comparison Page
 | ||
| If you always wanted to know what your snare drum would sound like with a different type of snare wire, this page is for you… James Walker recorded comparison of several different makes and models of snare wires, all recorded on the same snare drum. “Three mp3 files are presented for each set of wires: one from the batter side mic', one from the snare side mic', and one mixing these two tracks. Each track includes individual snare hits, a roll, a short and simple groove, and in some cases, several strikes of my 12" rack tom (included for the purposes of comparing sympathetic vibrations), although I've decided not to add them to more recent samples - all they seemed to demonstrate was that my 12" tom needs work. No retuning of either head took place. Where applicable, the snares were recorded twice: once at a looser tension, and once again at a tighter tension.” |
