NotSoModernDrummer.com hosted their 10th annual Snare Drum Olympics on July 27th. Dixon’s 6″ x 13″ model DS-0613-RWD Rosewood Snare ranked first in Cumulative Scoring and more importantly, ranked first for Blind Scoring, both in the Plywood Category. This drum received a 189 out of a perfect 200 score for the blind category! From NotSoModernDrummer.com:
In the objective blind judging the drums were played behind the judge’s backs for two to three minutes each, using the same series of rudiments, patterns and beats on each drum as the judges voted from 1 to 10 on five criteria; sensitivity, tone quality, dynamic range, rim sounds, and blend of the drum with the drum kit. The judge had no idea of the manufacturer or model of the drum and could not see it. They were told the sequence number of the drum, what the shell construction was, and the size. Otherwise the only thing they had to go on was their ears. A perfect score of 50 from each judge would equal a total score of 200.
