At an improv gig a few years ago I saw a drummer play their snare with a chain and at the time I thought it was an interesting idea. Having the ability to create sustain with a snare drum usually requires playing with brushes whereas a chain has its own tonality and unique performance potential. So I have explored this approach using four chain weights on a vintage Pearl rock snare drum.<\/p>\n

Recorded performances include these 14 articulations, with four chain weights<\/p>\n

– chain dragging across snare drum
\n– chain dragging across snare drum, rhythmically repeating<\/p>\n

– chain lowering on to snare drum, fast
\n– chain lowering on to snare drum, slow
\n– chain lowering on to snare drum, rhythmically repeating<\/p>\n

– chain drop on to snare drum, loose
\n– chain drop on to snare drum, loose with rim hits
\n– chain drop on to snare drum, bunched (short decay)
\n– chain drop on to snare drum, damped (short decay)<\/p>\n

– chain moves on snare drum, sustained
\n– chain moves on snare drum, sustained erratic<\/p>\n

– chain flicks shakes (free, no snare)
\n– chain drops catches (free, no snare)
\n– chain handling (free, no snare)<\/p>\n

Multiple takes of every performance were multitrack recorded 32bit 192kHz using:
\n– Sennheiser MKH8050 close up
\n– Sanken CUX100K close up
\n– Sennheiser MKH8040 LR<\/p>\n

The library is released 24bit 96kHz with full UCS metadata and photos, with 1 second of silence between takes for auto slicing and\/or export.<\/p>\n
