I could only imagine what Buddy would have been able to do on one of those snares in the videos you posted Artie? Conversly, I wonder what those DCI guys could do on the Buddy Rich era gear he played on?

This comparison is like saying a 2009 Chevy Malibu is better is a better can than a 1970 Chevy Malibu. Of course the 2009 one is better, but if you had to pick between em, I am taking the classic - a little less sterile.
