Making of the snare wires for Dyna-sonic
I know the "Puresound"
is making the wonderful wires for Dynasonic.
But, it's expensive for me...
So, I tried to make it by my hands.
At that time, the following article
helped me very much.
The "Snare Wires for the
Rogers Dynasonic Snare Drum by John Scarpulla"
on the "Tech tips" page at www.rogersdrums.com
I appreciate Mr. John Scarpulla
so much!
The materials
Snare wires (I used Pearl S-022, because it isn't expensive.),
Washers (1mm thickness), and Copper sheets (1mm & 1.5mm thickness)
You will be able to get all of them except for snare
wires at TOKYU HANDS.
TOKYU HANDS is a famous general store in Japan.
Hacksaw
Soldering iron
(100W at AC 100V in Japan)
Others, a file and drill for the metal, some clamps,
and wood chips are necessary.
A copper sheet is being cut.
Two plates are respectively necessary.
The dimensions are 1.5mm x 7mm x 50mm & 1mm x 21.5mm x 50mm.
But, this digit will change with the wires which you
use.
The parts before assembling
Cut off the ears at either side of the S-022.
The pic which expected completion
This is Japanese disposable chopsticks called "WARI-BASHI".
Clamps and cut chopsticks
Before soldering
After soldering
Many clamps are used to keep the position of the wires.
Snareside
Back side
A discoloration of the copper plate will be cleaned
by a cymbal cleaner.
Drill a diameter 5mm hole in the center of the plate.
The space of the hole and the hole is nearly 328mm.
And let's file the burrs not to make a hole in your
snareside head!
The upper is the Puresound "PD-14".
The Puresound has 16 strands, but the modified S-022
has 20 strands.
Assembling with the snare frame
Tension adjustment screw's side
The washer of 1mm thickness is put as a spacer.
Butt side
The washer is used in the same way.
It's finished...
Thank you very much Mr. John Scarpulla
again!
