Any chance someone's recreated the snare in Spin Doctor's "Two Princes"?

[jbrookley]

It’s kind of a long shot, I think the drum was a “Jarrah wood” Brady set that I believe cost a fortune (I want to say the snares alone cost about $800 on the low end, $3k+ on the high end . . .).  Any chance that set/snare is included in one of the packs or has anyone managed to recreate it?

Such a classic snare sound!

There is a 6.5 x 14″ Brady Jarrah Block” snare in the SDX “Progressive Foundry” Expansion pack but I haven’t tried to recreate that snare sound (but I have liked that sound since I first heard that first Spin Doctor’s album).

I have approximated this snare sound in the past using the core library with an uptuned 3.5X14 GMS Brass Piccolo stacked with the 2×10″ Sonor and Ringy Snare preset, mixed to taste. For this song, I would send the entire group to gated plate reverb and if you want a little more ring do a parallel send to a distortion channel. That should give you the base sound prior to processing.

Rock Foundry has a Brady Jarrah that will also get you closer to that sound. Would recommend that one over the one in the Progressive Foundry for this purpose.

I love that album! The snare sounds a bit like a piccolo type of snare with lots of ring to it? Also a lot of rim shot sound to it? I’m not a drummer though… I have the album though, such a great album! I used to listen to over and over by the time it came out! Also listen to the song “Refrigerator Car” where you hear the drums without any other instruments… Maybe you could just sample it and the use the sample in Superior Drummer 3?

It wouldn’t be the same sampling it. You wouldn’t have the velocity or ambience channels. It’s those nuances that count, especially for that song.
