The Jaywalker Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I tried the 7710's a number of years ago. I found the tension quite high on them, which is a common complaint. Sonically, I couldn't really get used to the metallic, trebly ringing characteristic that seemed to be there. Also felt like the nylon winding dampened most of the low-mid growl and made the lower register quite indistinct - a bit like having too much bass and treble and missing the mid-character of the bass. I always think that when I hear someone play on them as well; even some of my favourite players like Mads Vinding, Buster Williams and Ron. Just feels like there's something missing from the sound. On a positive note, they did blend really well with certain drummers I worked with who had a quieter style and quite a washy ride cymbal.
