In this video I show you two very nice orchestra snare drums, a Pearl Bubinga/Maple/Bubinga 14" x 5" drum (model # PHBG1450/C) and a Ludwig Maple 14"x 5" concert drum (model LUD-LCS514TD0M).
These drums have similar snare mechanisms but sound completely different.
I demonstrate both drums and show you close ups of the snare systems.
The sticks I am using are 70 gram leopardwood which I make and sell. If you are interested in a pair, you can contact me at rickdior@gmail.com. You can find out more about the sticks here rickdior.com/s...
I have more complete reviews of several orchestra snare drums in this playlist Rick Dior's Orchestral percussion instrument playlist: • Rick Dior's Orchestral...

Nothing compares to Ludwig. The richness and complexity of their tones is unmatched. I'm an LM400 lover.

Both are nice but I prefer the bright crisp sound from the Pearl model.

Rick, I wonder if both drums would sound different if you played the drums over a hard wood/tiled floor instead of the carpet the drums were over. I would love to hear both of these drums on a hard wood floor (or a tiled/non-carpeted floor). Both drums do sound wonderful. It's really a testament to your wonderful touch and technique! Personally, I believe the Ludwig®Concert Snare Drum is the more responsive and more resonant/beautiful sounding instrument. One other tought is that I would love to hear the Pearl®Bubinga drum with the Remo®Renaissance Snare Side Head on it. I have had amazing success with the Remo®Renaissance Snare Side Drum Heads. I do love the Remo®Hazy Diplomat Snare Side Heads on almost all of my Snare Drums. By the way, you have the drums tuned wonderfully Sir. You continually amaze me Meastro! MERRY CHRISTMAS RICK AND FAMILY!!!! 😉👍❤🙏🎼🎵🎄🎅

Rick, many thanks for your very informative channel, which I watch regularly and enjoy for both: the information and presentation. I started drumming at 55 (a year ago) - never too late. I find drums and percussion very organising, yet therapeutic… (Played guitar for about 45 years before...) Two questions: 1) Could the Orchestra snare drums be used with a drum kit? (They seem to be very versatile.) 2) Do you think that the internal muffler must be an option offered by most brands? I have 3 snare drums with tone control, which is engaged permanently on all of them. But these drums are so sparse nowadays… (It would be good to have it on the kick drum and toms as well, e.g. like Pearl President. I'm sure you've seen more of such drums...) Many thanks! Mitya.

Hi The answer to your first question is yes, but the snare system may be a bit dry than what we are all used to with a drum set snare. Of course, you could swap out the cable for curly snares and it would be just like any other drum. Internal mufflers are not a great muffling solution because they press up against the head while you are playing down so the feel of the head response changes. external muffling is a better option, but you do lose a bit of head real estate with that. Sometimes I use the internal muffler just a touch and that does the job without choking the head. You can buy several versions of an external muffler for a bass drum without the front head hole. Sonor had the best solution to an internal muffler back in the phonic days with a long adjustable strip. I use it all the time on my old Sonor kit.

I don’t know anything about orchestral snare drums. If I play one, do I have to use traditional grip. I’m a kit player and I play German matched grip.

@rickdior 2 ай бұрын

Of course not. You can use any kind of grip you want to use.
