[@fraserbremner1982]

My favourite was the Matt Halpern snare. That has punch!

[@angelorasmijn7306]

The Gergo Borlai snare together with kickdrum sounds killer to me! 🤘🏼They really complement each other.

[@Eurodrummer666]

All snares sounded great, but that kick (and most kicks I hear on KZbin) has a low "overtone" that hurts my ear...

[@Dogdrum]

The Gretsch signature snares sound fantastic. I particularly love the tone on the Gergo Borlai one. Lars Ulrich's snare is killin' too.

[@andyham6094]

The Tama John tempesta is one of the best signature snare drums ever. Prolly my favorite ever. I thought the Tama Kenny arnoff trackmaster brass snare and the Tama Lars ulrich steel snare sounded best in this video. The halpern brass snare sounded great too, I just think you can get that same brass sound at a much cheaper price, I feel like a signature brass snare should be worth it if it is a thick shelled brass that you can’t get on most black nickel over brass snare drums that all companies have now. The halpern snare is only 1.2 mm which is around the same as most of those more affordable brass snares. The John tempesta snare is 2.0 mm which is worth the extra money imo. Otherwise you are basically just paying for aesthetic touches and the nameplate for that artist. I preferred the Tama Kenny arnoff brass over the pearl halpern brass.

[@TheDarknessBane]

Ahh I still have the 2004 Lars signature snare with the long lugs that they used on the bell brass signature at the time. Nobody believes me when I tell them it sounds like a normal heavy steel snare, so I will now refer to this video :)

[@marratj]

They actually used the long MSL36 lugs on that until 2017. Only after that they switched to the shorter MSL35 lugs. I think it looks way better with the longer lugs, just like the Bell Brass as you mentioned.

[@Storkemain]

@@marratj Got one as well but with the MSL35 lugs, but I've changed them to the MSL36 lugs instead. Looks waaaaay nicer now. :-D

[@user-hg3lz8kw2e]

I think this shows again why the Sonor Benny Greb snare is probably one of the best you can have! A nice woody sound that can work in a variety of situations. The Pearl Matt Halpern snare also was probably my second favourite one - a nice dry pop too, and I like the concept of in-between standard depths, like 6 or 5.75" to get a versatile snare. But in the end, they all sound great and I would keep any one of them if someone gave one to me.

[@billyrhythm]

And I thought those were the worst sounding drums. Different strokes right? You probably don’t like the ones I loved.

[@user-hg3lz8kw2e]

@@billyrhythm Well, the good thing is everybody has a different taste, so it's nice that drum companies can offer something for anybody :) Which ones did you like the most?

[@zacharysmithingell5460]

Totally agree on the greb sonor. Beautiful sound.

[@ntsikeleloncakana1329]

@@billyrhythm which ones are your faves?

[@alexrtsimpson]

That British drum Co is a thing of beauty

[@dogmart]

Pearl Brian Fraser-Moore snare was a pleasant surprise. Tight, focused, crisp without annoying overtones-almost reminds me of a Stewart Copeland snare sound. Very nice! Out of this list, my top two are Benny Greb Sonor and Pearl Fraser-Moore. Thanks for the video, lads!

[@adamfrost3722]

Cheers, dog!

[@drumfanatik316]

The Kenny Arnoff snare is a thing of beauty!!! Not only in looks, but sound as well. I think it would be a great all around workhorse snare? It seems to be Tama’s “unofficial” take on the Black Beauty. I always say I’m not one of those guys who wants a bunch of snares, but I would definitely love to add this to my collection!!!

[@cobra1995xx]

Yeah that drum is 🔥🔥.. Id imagine it would have to work for everything . Dude plays/records for everyone under the sun

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

too bad Kenny aranoff sucks

[@robinjohnson6301]

I like the sound of the Keith Carlock snare the most of these (which is a 14x5.5" drum not a 14x5") and I think I'd like the Matt Halpern snare just as much if it had a single ply head. There's something about a medium depth brass snare with die cast hoops that really seems to do it for me.

[@ilmatteot]

Is nice to see that many signature snare are in brass shell... The Kenny Aronoff is awesome, I've got the 5", very versatile

[@Rab35]

I like the Gretsch Gergo signature in this video. Of the videos online that demo this snare, you guys have done the best job. Thanks for including the room sound in these videos because that's what these snares sound like to the natural ear. The Carlock snare is great too! Gretsch has a strong snare game.

[@drumcenternh]

Thanks so much Robbie and yeah, that is a killer drum!

[@jasonmckinney2705]

BDC Niko McBrain sounds big and bold really liked it. Both Sonor drums sounded the best to my ears, very versatile. Keith Carlocks brass drum was the most surprising, beautiful crack with some overtones. thanks for video.

[@drumcenternh]

Thank you for watching!

[@stromghouls]

the reality is that they all sound good. i have my preferences, but they are all great snare drums. it is easy to understand why some poeple have hundreds of snare drums.

[@Musiknird]

I died laughing from the intro! And actually being sick with pneumonia it almost happen by switching between laughing and coughing till I almost choked.

[@drumcenternh]

Great success! Now feel better!

[@Musiknird]

@@drumcenternh cheers guys! It made my day a lot better. I might live in another country but I really appreciate your videos with great content.

[@baptistefall7131]

Pearl snare is so underrated (..!) Matt signature is the best again :)

[@garyjohnson4988]

Lol! You guys are hilarious! Come at me bro! 😂

[@dariusburke8625]

I was a huge fan of the Kenny Aronoff just an overall utility sound that can basically be inserted into anything and sound great. The snare that surprised me the most cause I not the hugest fan of brass is the Matt Halpern Brass. It sounded really good would be my number 2 fav.

[@JeromeDayUniverse]

I agree 100% !!!

[@TheProgGuy]

The Halpern snare absolutely rips. I imagine it could sound great with a loose tuning, but when Periphery records it, it's the perfect snare drum, at least for heavy music.

[@robsolf]

Same, here! Loved those 2, and the Icarus. The 14x5 trackmaster is probably the best studio starting point snare you can get aside from the BB, itself.

[@joeldrummer23]

🤦🏻‍♂️lol 😂the beginning scared the heck out of me lol 😂 good stuff guys !

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

That beginning was priceless 🤣

[@drumcenternh]

Would you say that it was... Frantic?

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

@@drumcenternh In a certain way, yes 😏

[@loky03610]

My god that Matt Halpern snare is beautiful

[@JakeStaffin]

Hard to pick a favorite because they all sound really good!! But I think the Gretsch Keith Carlock snare might just be the winner for me, something about it feels like the one where if I could only play one snare drum, it would be that. And for the record, the kick drum sits perfectly in the mix and you guys aren’t ugly!! Thanks for always providing us with awesome drum content!!

[@pacificdrumma]

I’m at 1:31 so I haven’t even heard the first drum yet. The comedy and editing just continues to get better and better. Bravo, DCP team!

[@tommyzcat]

I really enjoy the DCP vids! I feel I get a great sound from my Pearl Chad Smith Signature snare ~ but it sounds nothing like RHCP!

[@Bluem00n7]

Bought the Greb last month just incredible for all type of music

[@mogglie]

Mine just broke… I have the older version. And a tension rod just pulled out the whole thingy where it sits….. really weird. Perhaps that’s why they changed the lugs on the newer models.

[@anthonymedd8718]

Yet another amazing video!!!! 🎉🙌🏻👍🏻 For my ears... Greg... Helpern and Ulrich snares....😎👍🏻

[@Musiknird]

Matt Helpern is my cup of tea! I have a huge thing for brass snares and I have a Pearl free floating brass snare my self and it sound amazing!

[@ChipsNeeson]

This was awesome guys. While it may not matter who Adam is, please keep him around. Good value. If you haven't done one already, could you please do a comparison video of a bunch of smaller diameter snares? Cheers from Aus.

[@adamfrost3722]

You're good people. Cheers.

[@scatpack440]

I liked the Icarus, then the Mapex. The brass ones rang a bit much for my liking, but everyone's liking is different. Good job guys.

[@progression_decibel]

Great drums, probably in order of preference (top 3) I have to go with 1) Kenny Arnoff 2) Jost Nickel and 3) Keith Carlock!

[@stevegroulx6960]

Well... Hard 2 pick just one but i consider the room sound more that the other sound cause after all you're not always mic. So 4 that i have 2 go with Nicko icarus and the worst 4 me Lars Ulrich one. I thing Nicko's one as good all around snare with some depth.

[@AdamStachelek]

I really appreciate your cheekiness about internet comments in this video. Man what you guys must go through. Oh and the kick is way too low in the mix, try cutting some 12 dB at 7 hz. :)

[@adamfrost3722]

Bless you

[@UltraRareCustom]

Sonor Jost Nickel Signature Beech Snare Drum 14x6.25 was great to hear in comparison to BG's which I love but ended up selling because the overall projection wasn't quite what i was looking for. Great video overall DCP !

[@ampdrum1]

I bought the ‘Josty’ from DCP. Best body, crack and sensitivity. Just smokes all my other snares and they’re all pro drums.

[@AdvancedLiving]

I’ve got the Anton Fig Yamaha snare with the wood hoops from the mid-90’s. It sounds so unique that I will never part with it.

[@mikeyn012]

I love my Yamaha Jimmy Chamberlin snare but out of these, the Kenny Arnoff is my favorite.

[@Jtdubbzz]

Ironic since Kenny was Jimmy’s replacement for a while with the Pumpkins!

[@olafjerome]

keith Carlock brass

[@drummerdan95]

I have Lars' snare and love it to death. I couldn't believe how loud it was in person! Now to get my hands on the elusive bell brass model...

[@MrMurUK]

I love the sound of the snare but I am really nervous about how heavy it is lugging between gigs, etc.

[@NoNameForThisGuy]

@@MrMurUK I’ve been gigging with a Yamaha recording custom brass 14x5.5 for about a year…not quite as heavy as the Lars, but still at the top of the scale for snare drums… it honestly hasn’t made anything more difficult. Very rarely do I carry my snare, plus enough other stuff all at the same time, to notice the few lbs more it weighs over my wood snares.

[@countingdrums4967]

I play Yamaha & Sonor kits but do love a Pearl snare. The Pearl Matt Halpern brass and the dinky brass Gretsch were great. Think I need a bit of brass. 💰👍

[@TheSentinel909]

Thanks so much - this vid was exactly what I was looking for! Q&A was hilarious too XD

[@jamesspafford5985]

Just about all of them sound amazing, but the big surprise was the Matt Halpern!!! 1.) Matt Halper 2.) Keith Carlock 3.) Kenny Arneoff Honorable mention to the Lars signature, though I’ve heard it’s unruly to tune…

[@drumcenternh]

Good choices! I had no problem tuning the Lars snare, it was great!

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

saME RANKINGS HERE.

[@dinodrumz7262]

Had the LU signature back in the days, never had any issue with tunning stuffs + it's a more versatile snare that I've had expected ; I've been playing Metal, Punk, Rock, Blues and even Funk with it, never been desapointed. The only thing (even if it seems obvious 😊) is that this one is not really meant to be played live in small venues !

[@marratj]

@@dinodrumz7262 yeah, that’s what you get with a heavy thick metal shell, it’s loud as f***. I have a 3mm thick cast steel snare with 5mm re-rings. It’s loud as hell but very sensitive at the same time and I find it easier to tune than my other steel snare which has a normal 1,2mm rolled shell.

[@abrackas1]

Would have been funny to have started the Lars snare in St. Anger mode for 5 seconds

[@yourdrummer2034]

Honestly the Kenny Aronoff Snare sounded best to me.

[@HankNinja]

I love my Sonor Gavin Harrison snare. Took a while for ‘em to make it, but worth the wait. And the early 90’s Weckl snare I found recently is the bee’s knees. Would dig the Greb snare. I think the internal muffling in the new model would be fun to mess around with.

[@HankNinja]

And I love his whole sound.

[@voitekbiskup6005]

I can confirm the internal muffling is surprisingly useful, even more so on the brass Benny Greb (I have both I admit).

[@seraphimdunn]

Gavin Harrison is the most underrated musician on the planet.

[@alkingborn]

Gergo Borlai and Benny Greb, though with different features are my favourite. Those I like the least are the Mapex Onyx and the British Co. The rest are of course good drums but quite standard

[@uwepetersen]

The Ralph Peterson Snare was a surprise to me. Nice phat sound, I wish you played more of the Rim Click / Side stick.

[@iantouzel638]

For my taste, winner, Gretsch Keith, as it all. The least one, Pearl Matt The suprise, even if i can stand it's look, Tama Lars. The snap and volume. Great demo. I know it's not in this video but Tama John Tempesta is probably the top signature snare( for rock) you can buy, you tested in the past.

[@anthonyn1312]

I love Gretsch 14x4.25 Gergo Borlai Signature snare drum

[@munton5150]

To my ear 1.Benny Greb 2. Brian Frasier Moore 3. Matt Halpern

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

Wasn't thinking about that Halpern, until now. Wow.

[@drumcenternh]

Yes! That's the whole point of this video.

If you like that Halpin snare you should try to find his Mapex signature snare “the Wraith” so much better. One of my favorite snares ever.

[@dancalabrese3523]

The Gretsch Keith Carlock (I keep saying to myself that I need a Gretsch snare drum) the Pearl Brian Frasier Moore, and the Sonor Jost Nickel sounded best to me and seemed like that I could put them on the stand and keep them there all night no matter what style of music. You guys do an amazing job of producing these videos and no matter what the drums or cymbals being focused on, your presentations are always head and shoulders above anyone else.

[@Lucca504]

Keith Carlock was my favorite, beautiful crack and sustain.

[@M.Holland]

Had a show with a substitute drummer few years ago. He was as a exchange student from Finland. So he had to borrow a snare. He brought a Joey Jordison Snare. We are a Live HipHop Band. It was the best snare sound we ever had.

[@natas73]

Definitely the Kenny Aronoff, and whatever one was in Birch. The rest except for the 4.5 incher need a lot of sound dampening to use in a recording. I still love my Yamaha Steve Jordan.

[@UltraRareCustom]

Steve Jordan signature is one of the best!

[@natas73]

[@FanaticDrummer]

I think Portnoys Melody master in either size is probably one of the best all around snares. Even if you dont like Portnoy, the snare is just too good to dismiss. The dual throw off should just be standard on all snares. The Maple is the real crown jewel if you can find one. But the metals are just 🤌

[@nicolasmontigne9082]

The Ludwig Venus Carl Palmer is the best for me !!!!!! cheap and impactfull

[@Storkemain]

Love all of your videos as well as the comedy and work you put into these. So... back to topic.. I think the Lars Ulrich is a must have in the collection if you like a good versatile and loud snare with a lot of (st.) Anger although it does not have "the" St. Anger sound as many people know. Put on an Evans - ST Dry head on it and it will sound even better. ;-) Other than that one, I must say that the Gretsch is pretty interesting. Good work on this comparison video, guys! Cheers from Denmark.

[@simmsdn]

Gretsch brass skates are always exceptional. Not change here. Both are excellent. If you haven’t heard it, the Gretsch Bell Brass is so close to the elusive Tama, it’s a must add to the collection.

[@richboshart1201]

Jost Nickel’s and Kenny’s were my faves. Not a fan of sig snares as a general rule. More often than not, the artists don’t even use them. Love my Simon Phillips 40th anniversary but that’s more of a commemorative drum than a typical signature.

[@wuffb]

I have the Greb Brass . . . heard it a NAMM 2020 and bought it immediately . . . so many great snares, it's rare when one makes you stop and go back and back and back and just say . .. "I've got to have THAT one" . . . that being said, the reason I didn't go for the Greb Birch/Beech was just confirmed for me in this video . . . The Borlai snare was a delightful surprise . . . really liked that . . . it seems I am drawn to the "pop" and "ring" that brass offers consistently. The Aronoff snare to me was the snare most closely related to the artist consistent sound . . . for me that really captured the "Kenny" sound where as the others were close, but could have easily been anyone's

[@TheSentinel909]

My impressions: - Feels weird to say, but Lars' snare is very underrated. Killer for rock & metal obviously. - Borlais snare is mmm mm mmm - I was really pleasantly surprised by the Keith Carlock! It could be my fav of the bunch

[@bustercampfiresongs]

Matt's snare in Superunknown. That I love. Of course Lars' is the best for metal and rock.

[@lisaasmus3284]

Great comparison !! Thank you !! 👍👍 under mics they all sound more or less great, for me is the room-sound the cruical point: and there the Halpern, Nickel, Frasier-Moore and the Greb are the best. Whereby the Greb sounds a little boxy to me and the Halpern is ... it is a brass like other brass. In the end the BFMoore takes the cake.

Favorite: Gretsch Keith Carlock but would like a little more low end as in a 6,5 deep. The Aronoff a close second. Thought the Onyx sounded surprisingly good with just the room mics

would have loved to see joey jordison's signature in this. much like the lars ulrich it's far more capable than is implied by the artist. morgan rose's signature snare also has a bunch more in it than one would think.

[@Jdrummer77]

Really like the pop of the Brian F. Getting a sonor SQ1 kit this year and want a different snare drum for it. Never thought I’d be thinking about Pearl but I think they get overlooked a lot. My first good snare was a pearl master custom so would be fitting.
