NOTES ON DRUMHEAD SELECTION + TUNING
Nikki Glaspie achieves a precise, powerful sound from her Yamaha Recording Custom kit. Pinstripe Clear tom batters paired with Ambassador Clear resonant heads enhance the focused sustain of the birch shells. The low end is anchored by an Emperor SMT Clear Bass batter and a Powerstroke P3 Ebony resonant head equipped with a 5" Black DynamO. Her main snare features a high tension Ambassador Coated batter with an Ambassador Hazy snare side tuned an octave higher, producing a sharp, articulate crack that cuts through any mix. Her secondary snare uses a Controlled Sound Coated with Black Dot batter and a lower tuned Ambassador Hazy resonant head, topped with a Big Fat Snare accessory for added depth.
