Surprising how "dead" they sound. I'm guessing those heads are also "original" to the era of the respective drum and would otherwise be considered "dead" by modern standards.

Thanks for this. It's fun watching an old jazz guy work a snare drum like that.

They certainly don't sound dead to me. I think the 3 of them all sound very unique and beautiful! The Gene Krupa snare is really the stand-out, to me! Thank you so very much for sharing.  |

Not dead -- they're wood drums, and appropriately dry.
Thanks for posting!

As explained the Krupa Gladstone drum is set up with gut snares and calf heads, so it's going to be fairly dry. It would be very comfortable in an Orchestra. Also, many older drums have slightly rounder baring edges compared to modern drums, which give them a very different sustain and tonality. I have a 60s Slingerland set that sounds great with thin heads and tuned high, but loses all life and volume at lower tunings. I also have a Gretsch roundbadge snare that is super dry, and sounds like old Blue Note recordings, but isn't good for much else. |

that was great!!
i'm a loud rock basher, so those wouldn't be ideal for my purposes, but they all sound great. that Krupa snare is so soft and round sounding!
