So now I've gotten farmiliar with the TD-10. My V-Pro is the new bike on the block. I've formed a cover band and we're traveling all over the place. And I've built, mixed, EQ'd, panned, and played with the "tight" kit. Picked out the cymbals and tuned everything just right. We bought our selves a PA system and we have it all worked out.
That's when I took a listen to the playback. My snare is so cheap. UGH! It sounded so good through my monitor! But its very 'casio keyboard from the late 80's' sound. Very stale and sampled sounding. It's number 88-Piccolo35. It's my favorite snare -- with the TDW-1 upgrade included.
Our band plays cover music very similar to Dave Matthews Band. There really is no better description to the type of music better than 'dave music.' So anyway, with Carter Beauford being my idol, I'd love to have a kit similar sounding to his. Especially his snare. It has a marching band sound to it. I can't seem to get a snare on the TD-10 to sound any better than a sampled drum with the pitch bend way up. AHHH! Doesn't sound good!
So if there's anyone out there who can give me a snare that you've found to sound somewhat like what I'm looking for?!
There's one more thing I must ask you while I'm at it. Since I move my V-Pro around locally about once a week, will I be having problems with the rack or parts failing that I might need to replace? Any advice is GREATLY appreciated! Oh by the way, just as a side note, somehow I received the concert set stad with my V-pro, and from what I know, it had better engineering put into the building of it, and it is much stronger than the V-pro stand. Just a note.
Thanks a bunch guys, Andy
