Which is the best snare you have ever recorded?

I record the worst snares ever, then I use some samples (allround, Deathblast and Fat Ring), way easier than spend weeks trying to find the perfect spot! 😂😂🤣🤣

I have the Black Beauty 14x8. Seems everyone in metal production goes with the 6.5, wondering if you have used the 8”? So far TBH I like the Aluminum Supraphonic 14x6.5 more. It has a lot more crack and sounds woodier if that makes sense.

Best snare ever recorded for ``metal`` ; Tama Bell Brass... ( vintage one...) AMAZING ! But today we can found so many good snare for not very that expensive ... One guy not very ``famous``... in drummer world : Neil Peart... Having one of the coolest Snare Drum Collection on Earth and he already says : his favorite Snare Drum was one he have buy in a Pawn shop ... at 70$ ... Yeah quality is not always just about price and brand...

I have the BB in 5,5 and 6,5 that I recorded with Jens. I also recorded with the famous snare 2 in Krimh drums. That sounded fantastic but was a little fragile for my hitting but could be perfect for a drummer with lighter sticks. I recorded a couple of album with Uli Kusch from Helloween in my studio where he used my snare but it sounded as another snare compared to when I played it. On one album he wanted a classic 80 clear pinstripe and again, totally new snare! :) My point is (if I even have one) is i think its at least as much to the sound who and how he hits and what sticks he use. But still with all these parameters I LOVE my BB 6,5!

@KohleAudioKult 8 ай бұрын

I’m not fabulous with the Khrim drums yet. I agree that BBs are a safe bet sonically, I’m just shocked by the bad quality of the Ludwig hardware each time I use one. Also on this session where it got out of tune constantly.

About 6 years ago I got to go through DW drums factory for a tour. They had a DW Collector's Series Concrete Snare in QC. The Quality Control guy played it, and it sounded really good. I like them tuned a little higher and this one was and it had great snap and was loud.

I personally enjoy little higher tuned snares that has nice ring to them because they usually have more character. I also think that at certain point some modern productions made snare sound so thick and overprosessed that one couldn't really tell bass drum apart from snare if there weren't that shizzle from the snares. :D In this comparison I liked the Brady most and DW was close second just because both had that nice crack, pleasant sustain and more natural sound in a way if that makes any sense.

Lo afinan alto porque es más fácil tocar con un parche apretado que con uno más suelto, además la variación de volumen los hace pensar que alto suena mejor, pero diría que lo más relevante es que de esa manera el baterista se esfuerza menos

So either this studio does not own any of the famed Sonor Signature Shells (HLD 590 bronze, the Ferromanganese Steele 14x8 or the 14x8 Bubinga shell in either heavy or light) or they do own one of these but decided to not bring them out for this test....Either way, SACRILEGE !
