that cud be anever ending argument. Even if you have the best engineer - if the drumemrs poop then you wont get a good sound. Its a conbination of all of those things.

Umm yeah. Mmm. If the player is a star, then his performance wll hopefully shine through. But if the player is crap, the best engineer in the world will have a hell of a lot of work to do to fix the parts up (even WITH beat detective it'd be hard).
But yeah, different strokes for different folks. But I'm sure I could get a happening drum sound with the condensor built into my mate's Fostex 8-track (and a bit of compression I guess), as long as it was a good player on a good kit in a good room.

I've been doing that with my acrolite since 1979 with no problems. For about 5 years in the late 80's and early 90's I was using kevlar heads tuned pretty high. The acrolite is made of aluminum. My supraphonic is steel and don't have any problems (since about 1985) I don't know what happened top your friends snare, but I don't think it was the way he tuned it.

What are you using now?
I've had a kevlar head on my snare for a couple of years, tuned tight and I like it. It's virtually unmarked, tough as elephant hide

I'm using Evans Genera HD Dry heads on all my free floaters and my 5 inch supraphonic. The 6.5 supraphonic has a clear emperor on it right now for recording. I still have an Aquarian powerhouse on my ludwig cow. I don't play live very much any more so I don't need the kevlar heads any more. The main reason I used them was so I wouldn't break them during a show. I did however put a stick through a Remo Fallam on 2 occasions. The Aquarian Powerhouses I've never broken.
I did have a friend that was using the kevlar heads and tuned them so high that the shell collapsed. (a year later he tore the luggs off of a wood snare the same way) I would assume that is what your friend did to his.
