Snare Town

I picked up this snare I'd been lusting over:

Gretsch 9-ply Rosewood 8x14

This thing is a monster. It makes this unmistakable low, wet, fatback snare tone. I bottomed the tuning and the snare wires out and its like I fell into a swampy, funky soul groove. This is a must own. Amazing.

We're currently ranked #1 by this fan thing that I don't really know a lot about, but it is very flattering. It's interesting how it took me until yesterday to realize that I don't play a crash cymbal at all in this tune. It always blew my mind how Matt Chamberlain didn't lay into a single crash in The Wallflowers' tune "One Headlight," but now I see how it just sort of happens. I guess thats what its like when you play "for the song." No agenda. Just music.
