Every
drummer has their favorite drum and many drummers
search for their "Holy Grail", if you
will. This could be a drum that their idols played
or a drum that they always lusted after.
For
me, that drum is the Rogers Wood Dynasonic snare
drum. Many famous drummers played this drum including
Buddy Rich and Louis Bellson. It was the flagship
snare drum of the Rogers drum company and the
idea behind the drum was to make the most responsive
snare drum possible.
The
distinctive Dynasonic snare frame allowed the
snares to sit evenly across the snare head. This
would allow the snare wires to vibrate freely
and not "choke" up.
That
being said, the drum is rather finicky to tune
and a number of drummers don't care for the Dyna.
As many drummers who swear by the Dynasonic, there's
a equal number who swear at it.
