LP Banda Snare - 8.5x14 Stainless Steel

Our KZbin demo channel is still fairly new, but this is definitely the largest snare we've done! LP's Banda Snare features an 8.5x14-inch stainless steel shell made of the same material they use for their legendary timbales. This thing sounds meaty and dry!

The high tuning sound made me do things to myself

[@tidoalcius6822]

It's a pretty versatile snare..It can be tuned for any style of music.. Es la caja de mi sueño

[@SimplicityForGood]

How to compare the Banda Snare to for example the snare that comes with the Sonor AQ2 Bop Kit? should I replace it with this? what are the differences, can someone skilled in drums explain the differences in sound and quality...it sounds faster this drum, like good for funk and fusion somehow.. I am not sure, maybe it is this specific editing and the mics used here? thanks!

Awesome sound and playing, I want one...

[@Circadianarrhythmia]

It’s almost like a meta version of the old Ludwig coliseum snares! Amazing sound really! Wasn’t expecting it to be this powerful haha!

[@TreyBDrums]

Man, thanks for the demo on this. Not familiar with their snares but I'm digging this a lot more than I thought I would. Great channel too man!

[@rodney3076]

Excellent all around.

[@johnbentley3504]

Great snare I have,....

[@timurhant469]

Thanks for this great demonstration! Love the recording and playing!

[@alanduncan1980]

There are two kinds of snare sounds - good and bad. This one sounds good.

[@telsonalves8060]

Que som excelente.

[@backstories933]

I think this is the snare when Dave Grohl was recording Smells Like Teen Spirit

[@hamiltongomesdasilva9561]

Please, someone answer me: All videos and photos I've seen of this snare drum, it has clear drumheads ... Transparent. Probably single. I've never seen her with a double coated type. Can anyone tell me if there is any reason for this?

[@babyraccyt3451]

The clear heads have a snappy sound tuned high so that’s probably why

[@calzaondrums]

The snare is sold with a thick double ply clear drumhead. I tried many different heads on it, and the best sounding are the Evans Coated Hydraulic, Evans Coated G1 and Remo Coated Diplomat. The last one really gave me that Bill Bruford open snare sound

[@thomasp.3796]

The clear heads are what come with the snare direct from LP. That is why it is tested and played with that head. You can put any head on it, your choice.
