A couple of threads in the archives have brushed up against this, but I don't see the answer I am seeking. Does anyone have any real experience playing acoustic snares with a v-kit? Is it possible/practical to use an acoustic snare with separate mic gear? My guess is no...given the volume of a traditional snare.
My motivation for asking is that I am currently playing a v-custom kit with a pacific 10x5.5" snare (10" nylon v-cust mesh head) triggered with a Trigger Perfect 210AP-S trigger. It's pretty cool really, but I am longing for a larger (and more realistic) snare surface and, despite the immense number of snare voices available in the TD-8 brain, I just can't ever seem to settle in on one that just gets me off...live or studio. I am constantly tweaking my snare patches. Am I just dreaming here?:>) Thanks a bunch!!
