Advantages: Well constructed and gives a buetifull sound Disadvantages: the throw off is very stiff
I've had my ludwig snare for atleast a year and it was bought second hand.
Its is chrome plated with classic lugs and a traditional throw off.the snare gives and excellent sound but it can be adjusted to anyones likeing mine is sharp and and the snare wires along the botom are very tight so it gives a very defined crack but it can be adjusted so that it can resonate for a while or that it sizzles.
it is about three years old becuase the last owner had it for two years unfortuatly the chrome plating is starting to come off where it has been bumped about.
The throw off is very stiff and is hard to put back but you can always buy a diffrent style of throw off.
It can be tuned very easily.
I would recomend this snare for everyone who loves the sound of a well constucted metal snare. ...
Advantages: Quite good extras Disadvantages: All in one long episode
Fimbles ? Smelly Jelly
I have to admit that Fimbles are not one of my favourite children?s programmes though my daughter loves it so we decided to go and get her a DVD so when we wanted to watch something on the television, she could watch it happily on the laptop ? which she enjoys doing as its mummy?s laptop and she isn?t meant to touch it!
The Fimbles are Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom, who all live in a lovely, colourful place called Fimble Valley. The Fimbles are cuddly hippo like creatures each with lovely colourful ?skins?. Other characters in this programme include a blue tree frog called Rockit and a mole called Roly Mo, a pink bird called Bessie and her chick Ribble. Most of the other characters are essentially large puppets except the chick who is just a great ball of fluff with eyes stuck on it, unmoving in the main ...
