Hi Will,
thanks for sharing your experience and yes, you helped me judging this instrument..
Yesterday I got those Timbs and played and experimented with them a bit. The result is:
Well, I actually LOVE the cascara sound of my brass Thunder Timbs, it certainly is what I have
been looking for. Gorgeously clear attack, and by far not too loud. A bit on the dry side, very good for me.
Tuning is a different matter - kind of difficult to get a really crisp high tone on the 15" for sure.
And I am not content with the sound of the LP skins, way too thin / tinny.
But I have ordered Fiberskyn 3 medium skins for both drums which should improve the sound considerably.
Thanks again for your answer. I´ll let you know what the Timbs are like with the Remo skins.
Have a nice weekend!
Mike
