David Garibaldi Signature Brass Snare Drum | [DFO] Drum Forum

Does anyone own a New Rogers Wood Dynasonic Snare Drum?
Feb 25, 2015 · • The sound of music: OK, this is subjective, but the drum blends perfectly with my 2013 Ludwig Legacy Maple kit. • Simplest adjustment of any drum: OK, this one isn't exactly true, since each of the 2 snare adjustments affects how the drum sounds and plays in a different way, so it's easy to muck it up if you don't learn how each one works.
