Punk-style

hoshinaru	Date: December 27, 2004 @ 1:54 AM hi i just got a tama swingstar yesterday and i can't get the "click" sound of punk drumming on my snare. the sound of the drummer of "Story Of The Year" in "Until The Day I Die". i was hoping if anybody could get me a really detailed step-by-step guide on how get that punk-style snare sound. the drum heads are the original heads that came with the set. thankx for your time

killtrix	Date: December 31, 2005 @ 9:28 PM Your searching for the holy grail Most drummers have an extra snare, so invest in something other then what swingstar provided. My old drummer tightened and pounded the shit out of his snare"we lovinly called him the white gorrila"He also used a Tama Stewart Copeland Signature Snare Drum about $330.If you get a chance to hear any early Police check out his snare sound. Copeland was a big fan of punk music and he had a great click on his snare.And he also pounded the shit out of his snare. Or the Tama LU1456 Lars Ulrich Steel Snare,it's a little pricey around $500(Damn Lars don't you have enough money) Breif descriptionroduct Description When it comes to the icons of heavy music, Lars Ulrich is among the giants of the genreáa genre that he and his band created almost single handedly. Metallica's marriage of powerful British metal to punk's chaotic energy produced a raw power that rock hadn't been experienced in years. And at the center of it all was the bands founder, drummer Lars Ulrich. A devout Tama player even before Tama achieved prominance, Lars was one of the very first players to harness the power of Tama's now legendary bell brass snare drum. That was because Tama's bell brass snare was the only drum that could handle Metallica's incredible sound pressure levels. In a sonic environment like that, you have to have a drum capable of splitting skulls with a single whack. Sorry for the long rant,but if your happy with the one you have I suggest you tighten the shit out of the snare and pound the hell out of it.
