100 Snare Sounds at 100 BPM - 100th Episode! | Season Two, Episode 48

Over the course of the last 100 weeks we’ve covered all sorts of different sounds for different drums. We decided to challenge ourselves a bit and see if we could produce 100 unique snare drum sounds. Unlike our traditional episodes, we’ve done some post-production mixing in order to recreate some specific recordings we were going after. See if you can pick up any of the references. We’re very excited to release this project into the wild!
Details regarding the drums and sounds (more info to be added shortly):

Some other neat sounds: Vic Firth practice tips, butt ends of brushes, metal butt ends of brushes, stick shots.

[@MrShaggrock]

I sense my ears and heart are in for a treat but my wallet is in deep trouble

[@LilasTools]

:D

[@grant1951]

KZbin yo mp3. There you go

[@sarojaband4664]

7:43 #38 sweet! 8:32. #43 amazing crispness! 13:34 #74 2:3 rumba clave! 15:50 #88 way cool

[@RedRockDrumsAust]

We are super proud to have been included as #39, #76 and #99!!! Incredible creative playing throughout with exceptional execution and sonic capturing. We very much tip our hat to your undertaking here. Wow!!!

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Thank you so much! It made for quite the project but we’re not ones to sit around and settle for what’s easy. This was an excellent challenge for us. Cheers!

[@martinkent_]

I should definitely be paying you.

DUDE! as a video editor with 3 channels and a drummer, i REALLY appreciate this video. You guys are totally the awesomest.

[@anderstl9915]

Super awesome! Now you just need to make a 10 hour behind the scenes video... :D

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

If only the process had only taken 10 hours...😂

[@buhlir]

Anytime I need inspiration to record drums in fun creative ways, Im gonna watch this. Seriously incredible!

[@ChannelTheHistory]

Amazing. Possibly the greatest google doc of all time as well.

[@tootory9506]

if you release this as a sample library that could be loaded into Slate Trigger or drum triggering software that Would be an excellent collection for any producer/engineer

[@JordanEsker]

Too Tory i was thinking the same!

[@nate6692]

2:14 - perfect for that Spin Doctor's snare sound!

[@coolatta1]

the philharmonic snare!!!!

[@juanemmanuelsalinas2001]

Snare 20 sound was my personal favorite no cap 💯

[@redpoint6870]

This one is a gold mine

[@MattMusicianX]

Okay, I've decided this is actually one of my favorite KZbin videos ever. I've watched this a bunch of times already.

[@jandelgadodrums5799]

That NC snare is a killer!

[@flocore]

Absolutely second that! Sounded pristine in every example! I'm proud so say I own one, as well.

[@vitoviviano0]

My favorite episode, sounds great just listening with eyes closed.

[@c.r.blankenship9040]

#14 I have done this! It's actually really fun!

[@davidsuprenant893]

Great job guys !!! I enjoyed it. Happy 100th.!

[@jadenaquino6246]

Loved 39, 70

[@nospoon17]

Wow great job guys! You went all out with this one thanks so much . We are all grateful!

[@devilononeshoulder]

Im so early this isn't even on youtube yet.

[@carrotsoup7264]

That Ludwig COB (sound 10) is a beauty.

[@lm8404]

I’m blown away…. I’ve locked away a few ideas from this.. You two are talented and have been working real hard at your skills.. I can see that in this video the most.. Very nice!!

[@el-yar]

little delay on snare 9:06 made my day ! awesome n sick, also great sound . so many amazing vibes.

[@johnrobinson8323]

So many great sounds. It's hard to choose my favorite. Awesome work guys!

[@CesenaticoOfficial]

4:11 sixteen my favorite

[@FullpowerStudio]

Big fan of Cody’s “shell face” 😅 You guys are great!

[@jefflyon2020]

The noble and Cooley deep wood snare. And the superphonic tuned high with top die cast hoop rules. Craviotto snares are awesome if you win the lottery. Also the Ludwig jazz festival sounded great. Just about all TAMA ten lug snares with smooth bearing edges and decent heads will sound really good. Great demo.

[@cjklz]

Congratulations and thank you.

[@AdamStachelek]

My god what an effort but so worth it. This is my new road trip track. Snare sounds all the way down.

[@ronfults3844]

This was a lot of fun to watch and listen to! This has inspired me to try some different sound ideas I've had. Thanks!!

[@isihernandez9752]

Some nice tunes there... come toghether.... and give it away, give it away, give it away now.... 😋

[@Mikas_Emil]

Such an amazing collection of sounds. Very inspirational. Thank you!

[@hiptoalieu]

45 and 46 and 47 and 49 and 52 and 54 and 59!!!! And of course 62 and 72 and 81 is sooooo NEO SOUL and 83!!!

[@PsRetrogamer]

10:12 Sound of Muzak 😍

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

🙏🏻 Had a fun time with that

[@attila-botondrazman44]

But what's the one at 7:15???

[@jonashellborg8320]

Such a cool video - and snare drums are so versatile! Thank you for this massive display of that.

[@DANIELTHIBAULTchannel]

paradise of snap!!

[@jeremyschneider9531]

Dudes, what an awesome collection of sounds, so much variety!

[@andybrown78]

Love all of this! I regularly gig with a ‘65 Supraphonic, and saw/heard many of your demos using that snare. You guys gave me some great ideas for my gigging tunes! I heard a lot of snare sounds that would work with our set list. Thank you guys!

[@Customwinder1]

Great work guys . Happy 100th ! 👍

[@qlqnen]

A couple of those splash-snare sounds reminded me of INXS and Fine Young Cannibals. Definite 80's stuff.

[@thomasfucik7527]

Great video! Really inspiring. Thank you for all your hard work and time making this. Top notch!

[@kickit301]

Sweet sweater

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

👊🏻

[@seelanne]

You are simply the best. Great episode !

[@RorRiiZzLE]

Just awesome!! Really appreciate all the work just a couple of you put in to these videos. Btw, 69 & 70 were just dope. Two sounds I’d probably use on a decent basis and you also did a great job of nailing or nearly nailing some exact song snare sounds. Like the clap from “Shout” I forget what number, but it was early and you had a cymbal and another splash on top (so 2 cymbals technically) and you got such a great clap sound from acoustic drums which is so hard. I also heard the “Walk This Way” snare and more. Very creative. Awesome.

[@joekunkel5369]

Nicely done, gents! This is awesome. Creative, fun, and interesting. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for another great video! 😎🥁

[@tenpoundfortytwo]

#83 is soooo nice! Dilla vibe!

[@ruanddu]

This so great! Thanks for doing all this hard work!!

[@oscarnino100]

Happy 100th video anniversary!! Keep drumming !o!

[@NoslenLRac]

Thanks for the demos. Some very interesting ones. Looking forward to what’s next!

[@JustinLouthianDrums]

This is killer! Thank you guys for everything you do!!

[@raynoobkac]

number 4 was the best in my opinion

[@OkieMikester]

#12 - The Stroke by Billy Squire.

[@markvandivier]

This is a wild ride... dig it

[@pasnpp]

This is awesome.It would be cool to see a video specifically about incorporating auxiliary percussion and hand percussion into kit playing.

[@nate6692]

#37 - So many low fat non-ringy snares are just muted to death. But THAT one is fat and non-ringy but still has some sizzle to it. Definitely like!

[@jasonberthold8228]

Great video, and amazing editing!! It is very inspirational. Thank you for sharing!

[@jasonberthold8228]

Also, Happy 100th!!

[@oblivionwalker8613]

Maybe this is basic of me but my favorite was 92, perfect all-rounder. But all of the sounds were awesome and all of the grooves were 10/10. Amazing, fantastic, awesome video!

[@sarojaband4664]

Amazing Video! You guys are sonic Gurus! Q: #100 is that an Original 1984 Tama Cordia Artstar 6.5x14? 17:43

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Thanks! Yep- that was the first snare drum I ever got. Love that thing. -Ben

[@flocore]

@@SoundsLikeADrum Would have been cool to see it being featured in more examples. Maybe in a future episode?

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

@@flocore Quite possibly if it fits in with the direction of the episode.

[@elijahfaith7480]

Wow thar is so amazing how all the snare sounds are so great! Number 12 I always wonders about how it was done ..thanks. and a very HAPPY 100TH ANNIVERSARY! Keep it up guys the best drum channel ever! 😁👍👍🇨🇱❤💗💝💞

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Thanks! 12 required duplicating the snare close mic, reversing the hits and sliding them up to lead into the backbeats. Classic!

[@MattMusicianX]

Okay, some of those snare sounds are extremely tricky and you're gonna have to teach how to obtain them next season. Awesome episode. Very inspiring. Perhaps my favorite so far, heehee. Love the drum bungee. I just saw it on Revival Drum Shop's website the other day. How cool.

[@MattMusicianX]

#6, for example

[@nickpov3y]

39 was probably my favourite

[@Smailien]

I came to the comments to say the same. 39 was sooooo good.

[@rowangraves7327]

#18 Craviottos. Best snares in the world.

[@rowangraves7327]

#23 also

[@rowangraves7327]

And #29

[@GolddenWaffles]

Amazing!

[@anthonydratnal1870]

The reverse echo on 12 is magnificent. If only there was some way to get that without post-processing!

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

The closest analog would be some sort of scrape across the head or a partially open hi-hat as a grace note. Larnell Lewis does this a bit. -Ben

[@Mystic10x]

7 is fire

[@Mystic10x]

14 too

[@Mystic10x]

also 42

[@balthazarblue]

Nice groove on #69.

[@TheStudioDrummer]

Great idea! Enjoying the video...

[@Chamindrums]

25!!!!

[@gianlucafiannaca2335]

thank you guys just great. we can only imagine the time and energy you have put into it!! ❤️ it woud be very valueable if you can explaine the more experimental sounds like with al the splashes and bells on top of the snares. and maybe some post production tricks like in 42 or 100 or so. but great job!!! really appreciate it 💪🏼

[@triggerhappydad65]

I think 42 was just a tom with snares attached on bottom somehow. Bungee? One of my favorites also.

[@aasmundr]

This is awesome!

[@attila-botondrazman44]

The snare in #67 has a massive attack... OMG HORRIBLE PUN.

[@TheStudioDrummer]

I love creative stuff like #11. 🥂

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Thanks! That was a fun one. 42 was another blast- Tom tunes low and using the gated sympathetic resonance of the snares from two other drums to provide the snare sound. -Ben

[@DanyMeyer]

Such a great Episode!!!! I love it =) Well done =)

[@betulaobscura]

Inspiring! Thanks!

[@w.carlblackwell]

Super tasty and creative drumming guys! You won the internet today. Keep up the great work! Here's some tunes that came to mind while I was listening.... #4 Phil Collins: In the Air Tonight #12 Billy Squier: The Stroke #13 Soundgarden: Spoonman #21 Stanton Moore: Kooks on Parade #23 Every bad restaurant gig I’ve ever played #26 Sade: Sweetest Taboo? #27 Beatles: Come Together #30 Darn it. I know it! What is it!? #36 INXS: Need You Tonight #66 Wham: Everything She Wants (slowed down) #63 & 70 More proof that those Mapex Black Panther Snares from that era are some of the best made! #72 & 78 I want that snare!!!! #80 Tears for Fears: Everybody Wants to Rule the World #84 Frida: I Know There’s Something Going On #86 Red Hot Chili Peppers: Give It Away #90 Run DMC: Walk This Way #92 ACDC: Back in Black

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Thanks so much! Nice work with identifying tunes. There most of yours were spot on though we had a few that you identified songs for that we weren't really even thinking of- must have been subconscious on our part. Cheers! -Ben

[@w.carlblackwell]

@@SoundsLikeADrum I was holding out for Spoonie Gee: "The Big Beat"! That would have been a tough one.

[@ChristianJihoLee]

Wow! I wish I saw this when it was first uploaded! How does 20 work?

[@nicholasregister7396]

7 blew out my speakers 😂

[@ianmuessig]

What are those hi hats!?!?! They would pair nicely with my uptown ride once they don't say "prototype" any more haha.

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Love those! They’re 15” prototype “Fat Hats”

[@ianmuessig]

@@SoundsLikeADrum If those existed in 13" or 14" (or at all lol) I would have them in the mail already. Great video today, very fun!

[@chadrach3]

So Rad!

[@loscienzo]

For 45 Cody became Nate Smith really quick 🥦

[@tootory9506]

BRAVOO so good I will watch this over and over! where did you place the AKG414? my favorites are from 45 to 55 and so many others as well

[@JustMyTwoCentz]

Can i use audio from this in a record and release it? There are so many great snare hits :0

[@pabloordas3775]

Greatly appreciated Angel in 67, not much of a difference with the original amazing!!!

[@kacperwojewodka3304]

39 is so sweet! How did you do that?

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Red Rock 13” Fijian Mahogany stave snare with baseball bat bearing edges and a Kentville Kangaroo hide heavy gauge drumhead tuned nice and high. All details available via the spreadsheet linked in the description.

[@SheldonKreger]

Huge video!

[@randomgong]

Cool video. Got some weird artifacts in post production. Many of the sounds have a flaming effect. Maybe plug-in latency? Might have been fun to have a short description of the sounds or techniques for those unfamiliar with post production techniques. Keep up the good work!

[@gianlucafiannaca2335]

a descriltion for the heavy procesed woud be awesome

[@bigjoedrummer]

I noticed that effect too, on 51 for instance. Is it intentional?

[@mr.friendly1256]

What heads and stuff did you use.for 43 please

[@FPSLibrarian]

This is amazing!!!! I want an mp3 to listen to help me fall asleep!!

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

We're probably going to release a final mixed version on Patreon

[@buhlir]

So effing creative! Well done dudes! Hello Loops!! If I snag these and use them as loops and build a song would, that be cool? I could send it to you guys and if I ever released I could give you credit and become a patreon supporter

[@SoundsLikeADrum]

Thanks! We’d appreciate if you didn’t use any of this recorded material for your own music. We’re available for hire to create loops or play on recordings if you’re interested.

[@DavidEpstein]

#2 Hanginaround by Counting Crows @1:58

[@timbrown2637]

How did you get the sound on number 12? There was a Billy Squire song [Stroke's the word] that used that sound

[@Oneness100]

What size Is the room you're using?

[@williamgranville6732]

Sounded like an e-kit.

[@gavinmcmahan]

What are the nuts and bells you use?!

[@georgebenson3826]

cool

[@DavidEpstein]

#27 Come Together @5:58

[@gho5t504]

I think I'm gonna get a 14x5.5" Tama Metalworks Steel snare as my side snare with #32 and #24 in mind. For some reason Metalworks is really cheap now.

[@cjulescarson]

Hey cody love the video man. I have a question for another video could you guys do a video on the OCDP 25ply maple snare if possible. I bought one and it is a beast to tune, at least for me anyway. But if you could get one and do a tuning video on thick snares man i would be stoked to see it because there is literally nothing out there on that particular drum. Keep it going man yall are my new go to channel. Thanks in advance Chris
