Guru Drum Works Snare Drum Comparison!


Ok so i probably could have tuned them closer, but they did sound the same from the top (must have been a bottom-head thing). Anyway, you still get an idea of what these different woods have to offer and how they both react in different situations. I must say i prefer my own (left) in person, but the purpleheart one just records like a dream! Both of these snares were and made by Dean Price of Guru Drums to custom specifications. They are both 13x7 stave shells with 1/2" thick shells and Dean's signature bearing edges. They both have die-cast hoops and 8 full length tube lugs. Left snare has Evans St dry over hazy 300 with puresound twisted snare wires. Right snare has Evans super tough over hazy 300 with puresound blaster snare wires. If you get a guru, you will NOT be disappointed!! recorded on zoom q3, sticks are los cabos red hickory 3a and hickory parade models. www.gurudrumworks.co.uk www.loscabosdrumsticks.com

Rikki Rockett of Poison and Rockett Drum Works Interview 2011


Rikki Rockett of Poison and owner of Rockett Drum Works, sat down with Patrick Musumeche of FullMetalRock.com and 8countnews.com for an interview. Rikki Rockett and I talked about the past, the present and the future of Poison on their Houston, Tx stop on the 25 year anniversary tour along with Motley Crue and opening act and good friends NY Dolls. A very intelligent and personable Rockett answered questions about what started him behind the sticks and what it takes to make it this long in the music business. He also spoke about what his hopes for the future of Poison. Rockett Drum Works is not just a business it is his own personal passion, his drum company , he told me why he began the business and how much he loves being behind the scene actually making the custom sets. After chatting with Rikki Rockett you walk away knowing that the man behind the drum kit is a force that will drive anything he is behind to stardom and success.

The Perfect Snare-Drum Sound? Part 1: Guru Drum Works Stave Shell


I think SO! It's about time I showed off my amazing Guru snare drum again! I recently swapped my STdry batter head for a genera dry wanting more sensitivity. However, the perimeter flap on the GD choked the drum too much so i took it out...with sexy results! I know some of you guys won't like the subtle high-frequency ring after each hit but I was getting tired of a snare head that didn't open up as much as I wanted. Snare is 13x7 Guru Drumworks Stave. Heads are Genera Dry/Hazy 300 Puresound Twisted snare wires Recorded on my lovely Zoom q3!

Guru will make hybrids with brass, steel, aluminium, copper and more with a massive selection of woods!

EVANS Head Review/Demo. Strata 1000/Hazy 300 Orchestral. Guru Drumworks Snare


Hello again! well, i'm back after a loooong time away. Moving house and getting a new job eats into your time a bit! Here we have a short review of the Evans Strata 1000 over the hazy 300 orchestral drum heads. The strata 1000 is essentially a g1 weight head with a different coating, giving it more warmth and a drier, darker sound. Cranked up this baby sound ridiculous but it is full and sonorous low down. With ultimate sensitivity and infinite tone, these rather unconventional heads will realise your snare drum's true potential. I'll put up vids with different tunings/with a kit if you guys want! For now though, i'll let the snare itself do the talking. The drum is a Guru Drumworks 14x6.5 Purpleheart/Steel one ply steambent split shell. Snare wires are Tiki Drums 14" bronze snare wires. www.gurudrumworks.co.uk www.loscabosdrumsticks.com filmed on a zoom q3 at the newcastle drum centre www.newcastledrum.co.uk

Naturally, the Rockett Drum Works 2011 NAMM booth had its fair share of cheeky custom drum sets and snare drums (as well as scantily clad women in full rock regalia), but the big buzz was about three new lower-priced production kits aimed for distribution in music stores rather than direct sales to customers. The legendary Poison drummer Rikki Rockett himself gave us a look at his newest creations.

This is a friend of mine's snare drum based on my own 13x7 stave guru which i got last year (check out part 1: www.youtube.com Being solid purpleheart it has a higher fundamental than other snares but doesn't lack in body. The crack on the rim-shots are pretty mind-blowing (or gut-busting). The 1/2" thick shell and signature bearing edges make for a drum with character, presence and sensitivity. It features die cast hoops, 'spiky' full length tube lugs, evans super tough over hazy 300 and puresound blaster snare wires.
