It seems like there a very few new one. When I was a kid reading MD, these guys seemed untouchable. I feel like theres been a few in the last decade, like Matt Gartska but nobody really has the status of the older legends. Is this?

I think realistic could mean two things when talking about the snare drum sound. What we hear as a drummer sitting behind the snare drum OR what someone hears sitting in front of the snare. No manipulation of sound. No mics. Just the raw sound of the snare. So, what is the best way to record the snare drum for each of these two cases?

I am not suggesting that the recording should match 100% to what we hear with our ears, but what I...

It requires a wrench to adjust the hardware and bears some similarity to the Ludwig Butcher's Block drum sets of the 1970s. This narrows it down to the right ballpark, but I am having trouble finding an exact match online. The rack tom mount has a plastic handle instead of metal and different logo than the other drum sets from this series that I could find.
