Tom's Suggestion - Snare Drum Heads and Wires - Vintage Vibe

• 14" Remo Skyntone Head
• 14" Remo Diplomat Hazy Snare Side Head
• 14" Canopus Vintage Dry Wires

This combo is what I like to put on some of my snares for a more retro, vintage-inspired sound. The Skyntone is a superb head that is very organic and warm, in terms of both sound and feel under the sticks. The super thin Diplomat snare side head allows the wires to respond to even the lightest ghost notes. And the Canopus Vintage Dry wires will give you plenty of crisp, articulate snare-y-ness, but they'll also help bring out the darker low-mids of the drum's tone. This is my choice for low to medium volume playing, especially on a wood snare, and even moreso under mics.
