Stewart Copeland Snare Hack? | Season Four, Episode 38

0

Stewart Copeland’s snare sound throughout his time with the Police is frequently referenced and sought after. From the chrome over brass drum itself to the combination of die cast and triple flange hoops, the head choice to the muffling, there’s lots of speculation and commentary. One aspect that seems to be debated without any substantive exploration is his use of a towel around the drum, so we set out to explore the impact with surprising results.

Wondering about how we attached that towel? We used a Drumgee! https://sladl.ink/Drumgees
