For a player's drum, I'd rather have the Retroplate with the Trick throw.Darin Sollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936025504236068676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107634654312846113.post-84002239049715639922024-02-15T06:14:32.166-05:002024-02-15T06:14:32.166-05:00I know this is an older post, but I've used th...I know this is an older post, but I've used the Domino retro plates on at least 4 snares, mainly for the purpose of recording. Fantastic way to adapt a more reliable strainer and keep the value of your drum.El Toritohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865869976961786635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107634654312846113.post-25262332149928221052020-04-20T14:53:14.737-04:002020-04-20T14:53:14.737-04:00I don't know if Zack is still watching this th...I don't know if Zack is still watching this thread, but I went with the multi-step simply because it was the same price. I figured why not get the flexibility? But, as you might suspect, I never use the multi-step--I'm either all the way on or all the way off.Darin Sollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936025504236068676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107634654312846113.post-42337441147379349422020-04-20T00:20:05.192-04:002020-04-20T00:20:05.192-04:00Hi Zack,

These snares are fairly expensive at $40, and there is no telling what a rigged up strap will do to your sound.<br /><br />As you can see from the photos at http://www.vintagedrumforum.com/showthread.php?t=42857&highlight=slingerland+extended+snare, the Zoomatic setup is a bit strange on a Sound King, and I've read that it caused snares to vibrate even when they weren't engaged. I believe Slingerland moved to a standard snare wire setup by 1968, anyway.<br /><br />So, if your drum is a post-1968 with a Zoomatic throw, I would recommend standard Puresound 14-inch snares. Slingerland used 20-wire snares on the Sound King. I use standard 14-inch Puresound snares on my Sound King with the Trick GS007 upgrade.<br /><br />However, if your drum has the TDR throw and butt plate, then extended snare wires would still be appropriate. I've read that others have had good results with these Pearl 15-inch wires: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/drums-percussion/pearl-20-strand-bridge-type-snare-drum-wires. I also have a TDR Sound King, but I have not tried it with extended snares.<br /><br />Good luck! --DarinDarin Sollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936025504236068676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107634654312846113.post-76354532693191886282015-07-01T00:35:44.578-04:002015-07-01T00:35:44.578-04:00Hey man, I'm about to do this with the same sn...Hey man, I'm about to do this with the same snare, and I had a question...I want to put some snares that are close to stock snares...any idea what I should look for? And, do you know if I need some special kinds of snares? I know some Slingerland's required certain snares which Puresound makes.
