I had them both right, usually with more expensive snares the over tone is more controlled for studio session quality. Less ring = better recording quality. This can also be heard with the snare Dave Grohl uses in the video "PLAY" where he plays all the different types of instruments. Usually in a studio setting, producers have drummers adjust their snares at lower tuning then what they normally play. Gabe, been a fan for a long time and appreciate all the videos, tips, tricks and positive channel. Keep up the great work!

There is certainly some truth to the idea that buying something expensive gives you that "Now I gotta get my money's worth!" motivation, but the fact is, a good drummer can make even a bad kit sound great, and a bad drummer will sound bad no matter how much the kit costs. And if you're just starting out, it will be a long time before you are legitimately limited by even a cheap kit.

I agree that the snare doesn't sound $1100 better, but it's not really for us. It's not even really for people who are very good at drums. It's for people who make a living recording drums. People who own this own studios or are professional drummers who have 10 other snares like this of different materials in their studio. To them, this snare sounds like it's worth every penny because it sounds exactly the way it does. It really is an excellent, top tier, snare.

I got both of those first two right...the giveaway for me was the drier, shorter sound that I've heard more often on lower end snare drums compared to the more complex, vibrant, resonant sound that's usually a feature of snares made of better materials. The last one with the pro drummers was tough, though, and I missed it. :(

Great video. I have no shame in admitting i liked the cheap snare more....the expensive one has more body...more warmth and sings a bit more, BUT on a personal level i love the brightness of the cheap snare...It has quick attack, quick decay and a naturally higher pitch. I got them wrong on the first clip. With a lower tuning i preferred the more expensive snare because it sung and was way smoother..BUT I still prefer the cheap one because i never tune that low. I always have my snare tuned high. i want my snare to CRACK. I am still using a Dixon 13x4 snare drum that i bought for around 100$ CAD used...Ive recorded with it...played many shows with it....i still LOVE it. And another beautiful part about music...its all personal preference.

Time after time, people have shown that there is very little difference in sound between two identically tuned drums, cheap and expensive. But I still go for high-end drums for so many reasons other than sound - I just love something beautifully made from high quality components. Having said that, I really, really enjoyed having one of the cheapest Gretsch kits, the Catalina Club Jazz. It was a pleasure to play and sounded fantastic. I also like contradicting myself.

Pretty impressive comparison and nice job on the tuning! sometimes i was like all 3, there was such a slight difference that i couldn't make a choice too. I believe it's a matter of taste, it's a personal choice depending on the sound you want. And for that matter, it's not about the snare you play, it's about the sound. In the other hand, it's always easier to tune an expensive snare, because most of the time you don't need to fix it too much, and you can get a lot of variations of sounds which is not the case for a cheap snare, very limited i think...

I got them both right (honestly), the higher tuning was easier to pick out the differences than the lower tuning. The snare wires one the cheaper snare sounded buzzier than the expensive one, and the expensive one sounded more beefy, probably because of the die cast hoops..? Back when I played, and I changed from the 2.3mm flanged hoops to the die cast hoops i couldn't believe how much a difference it made in the sound. The type of heads and tuning also play a huge role in the drum's sound. Also, with good microphones and mixing, you can make any drum sound great.. as long as its tuned :) Cool video!

One of my favorite sounding / recording snare drums is an Amazon bought Sawtooth brand snare drum made out of Poplar. I've owned the gamut of snare drums and have been playing for close to thirty years have digged over a thousand times. As long as your drum is in round, and you know how to tune, you will have a good sounding snare drum. Let's not forget that a lot of snare drum sound comes down to how you play it very similar to guitar players Etc

200$ is not a cheap snare drum, its a regular price snare drum. You can get suprafonic in that price range ( 200-300$) and we all know what is a suprafonic. It's a must have for every recording studio. 1300$ drum is just exotic, especially for a metal shell drum, 200$ is about the right price for a everyday use drum

I work at a music store and go through gear like crazy and would like to share some thoughts I have on this subject. -From my experience, it’s pretty hard to make a steel snare sound bad, especially with a coated head on it. -From my experience, snares sometimes don’t show much difference when recorded but if you play it live you might be able to tell a bigger difference. For example, I prefer using my brass snare live rather than my aluminum for most songs because it tends to really cut through the mix. -From my experience, wood snares usually have more dramatic differences. The cheaper ones tend to be very thin sounding and have nasty overtones. The 2 MAIN things I have come to realize about cheap vs expensive drums; 1. Overtones - cheeper drums typically will have worse overtones or maybe the air travels awkwardly through the shell giving it a weird resonance. 2. Tuning range - cheaper drums will only sound good at one or a few specific tunings or will have clarity/dynamic issues in certain tunings.

The only thing not surprising is that Harry nailed every one. Dude!’s ear is incredible. Friends of mine had him lay down a beat for their tune, based on a sample they couldn’t get rights to, and Harry could tell they modulated the sample 1/2bpm different. 1/2 BPM! And he could tell!!

I got them all right but I'm not a drummer. I play congas and I'm very picky with my tuning. I even had debates with other conga players about what is better, raw hide vs synthetic skin. Great content, I liked the video.

When I compare drums, I like to actually play the drum. I'll run through some rudimental excercises, play some riffs, some snare solos and marches. Get the full sound and response from the drum.

what triggers do you suggest for use on the $1300 one?

Besides better sound and ease of tuning of the Reference snare drum, it is just a beautiful drum to hit on, with the weight of the drum the response you got from the drum after each stroke would be more satisfying on the Reference snare drum than on the Utility one. Having a beautiful looking and nice sounding drum will just make one wanna play more and explore more on the tonal possibilities on each square millimetre of the drum =) Great video man!!

Curious if you modded the Utility with die cast hoops and put same heads on both if they would get closer.

Hi, cool video and nice concept ! The overheads mics don't capture the B snare in the same way than the A snare, so both of the snares aren't really compared in the same conditions...

I love the sound of the pearl reference. Me personally I would rather save up and get the more expensive one, im not a huge fan of my snare, not even sure what brand it is or anything but I can never get a decent sound that I want out of it. I think for the cheaper price I would love to have the cheaper snare and like you said, spend some time really getting that sound out of it.

@@DrumBeatsOnline oh sweet. Speaking of DBO, I hadn't had much time to practice on the kit lately, with the whole family home is really hard. But I have been putting in hours of practice pad exercises everyday.

It’s all about the head and the tuning - particularly for recording with. Sometimes, live (acoustic) you can tell the difference more.

The heck with the comparison your tuning technic was great info... With that I believe you should go with what you can afford but keep an eye out for great deals and finds.
