Kamakazuu « power and cutting »
Published on 08/10/11 at 05:21I use it for 18 months in secondary ccl in a group of dub and principal in a HxC.
I tried to get a fairly high-pitched sound, very slamming, with good power and a good presence to "turn the volume" on the passages that need it.
For this role there, I tried before:
- A 12x8 "Phatt (8 ply maple keller)
- A 12x7 "Mapex (birch, from a Pro M tom reduced)
- A 14x5 metal Basix
The hardware inspires confidence, even if the patch appears to be basic to basic. I did not know the triggers Pearl, it is simple but effective. The finish is pretty class, matte black is the most beautiful effect. Good logos Slipkon ... This is more my cup of tea, but unlike what I've read is not placed stickers by kids age 5. It's clean and well finished. Small flat, the circles are brighter than was. But the powder coating seems solid.
I tried with two settings, medium tense and very, very tense, Ambassador coated ambassador snare +.
In two cases it slams right, the tone is present.
Not too tight, it deserves a thicker skin to calm down its harmonics.
Tense (my adjustment position), it slams severe, it is powerful, VERY powerful. A little too much of the rest. Otherwise, it is clear enough singing. To play reggae that makes him a serious (if so). To play the Metal / HxC too. In fact, no matter, I adopt it. I do not like logos, but it slams, so if the sound is I still
NB: I played with a groove for a wedge cross stick deeper and more "wood" (warmer, more defined). Difficult to do without now that I've tasted.
With experience, I would do probably this choice, although I could try the other two boxes that I liked for this role:
- 13x5 Omar Halim
- 13x4 (or 12x4 to see) Tama Metalworks
I told my 8 because it lacks a bit of subtlety and his look is a bit Marquette (well not say the best taste).
