[Odd-Arne Oseberg]

Anyone tried this thing out yet? If it feels right, it would certainly be very useful to me.

Interesting!!! Can't wait to try it!





Drum Atmospheres™ Snare, represents a breakthrough for drummers all over the world! It is part of a new line of products aimed at offering devices that will forever change practicing.

DAT Ring™ provides a solution to the challenge of producing tunable drums at an exceptionally affordable price.

PolyEQ™ for the first time ever, an innovation that provides accurate stick rebound and feel, virtually indistinguishable from a 14" accoustic snare. The PolyEQ, although simplistic in form is actually a component based on the results of an intensive study into the physics of drum head vibration.

Intragal Rubber Shell™ allows for the removal of all components in DAS, and gives the player the ability to tune the heads, or replace any part of the drum.

Drum Atmospheres Snare utilizes two DAT Rings, one for the batter head (made of a special polyester mesh) and a resonant head (made of solid polyester film) the same stuff they use to make all the best drum heads! The DAT Rings provide full control over the drums sound and response.

DAT Rings provides long term tuning. Because of the radial tension applied to the head the DAT Ring rarely if ever has to be re-tuned.

The volume of Drum Atmospheres Snare is similar to that of other conventional practice pads, but with one major difference, it is not a pad at all, its a drum! The snare sound can be heard with the lightest touch of the stick, and linearly increases in volume tracking the force exerted. No pad can do this. Only an acoustic instrument like RTOM's DAS gives you the full dynamic range you'd expect from a drum... it just produces 1000 times less output!

The special polyester mesh head, using RTOM's proprietary PolyEQ technology has a feel virtually identical to a solid batter head, with a stick response and head flex that will keep you practicing for hours. No more dull practice sessions. Because DAS is an acoustic instrument it has all the variations in sound and feel that your acoustic drum has.

Tune it however you like it: loose, tight, even parade drum tight! The DAT Rings, and the high quality heads used in DAS allow for a wide range of customization.

So for the first time you can practice with No Compromise, performing accents, buzz rolls, and flams, all at a volume your grandmother would be pleased with, on a surface your hands will love, and a sound only exceeded by your acoustic snare.

The description sounds great, I just need it not to feel like a common mesh head. I hate that rebound. If it's good, I'd probably get one.

Precisely Sir.

I'd love to have a pad that doesn't give me 'pad hands' and doesn't aggravate tennis elbow. I have a Real Feel and a Vater pad and I have to put an HQ drum mute on top of those practice pads in order for it to feel somewhat 'real'.

I can't find where to buy this pad???

Really hope this works, or if not, that someone comes up with something that does. Rubber is great for certain things and great for teaching my students about rebound, but over all, apart from a bit of basic singles conditioning it's getting annoying.
