Really? whats your beef with the SFZs


I just can't stand them. It may just be that I'm not on tour, So I'm not constantly tuning. But I've attempted to sit down with these drums multiple times, And I can not get one sound from the line. I can get the drums close, but not close enough.

Could just be my inexperience with tuning constantly though. Which means I'm just yelling at the sFz because it's there.

Yeah we have had some problems in lines I have been in getting them dead on with each other before. It does take some time but once they're on... man they sound nice

I will have have to agree with you there, When I came up, we had one drum that somehow ended up in tune, nobody knows who tuned it but we just kind of have it. It's basically heaven on earth.

The only bad experience I've had with SFZ's outside of my preference for Pearl is that the butt end of the strainer always seemed to work it's way down off the bottom head, but not during rehearsal.

It would always happen after the drums weren't in use.

The kids used to say that the Yamaha monster would come around and do it.

Not something awful to deal with, but along with tuning, I didn't appreciate the extra work in the lot.

really? A to D is a 4th, Blue Devils tuned their snare side head a minor third higher than the batter head in 2002, and the result can be seen here: DCI 2002

I really doubt anyone's tuning the bottom head a full 4th higher than the batter head, but maybe I'm wrong?
