One Snare Drum, 10 Snare Sounds | Drum Lesson

[@JohnnyCortese]

Not only a phenomenal drummer, Nick is one of the best, if not THE BEST drum demo video creator out there! Nick always gives a great demo and explains what he's done and why. He also makes it seem SUPER effortless, very natural. Great job as always Nick. Please keep this amazing videos coming our way!

[@PhilRounds]

This was fun to watch! Thanks Nick and Sweetwater!

[@alanduncan1980]

Aluminium snares are just great!

[@ebeep]

Man, I just love his touch on the snare. Such a fantastic player.

[@Highcastle_of_Tone]

So cool to hear all the textures from a really stripped down setup.

[@James1623]

Nick you are an absolute legend 👍

[@Danjay21]

I want my snare to sound like the 1st snare drum sound!! Beautiful!

[@JulianFernandez]

No intro is the best intro. Go Nick!

[@timsears951]

I really like Nick...love his presentation with all drum products.....you freakin' rock Nick...

[@gbirdo4718]

Snares are super versatile. Just get a nice wood and a nice metal snare and you'll be able to get just about any snare sound.

[@jcmoore5819]

Sound 3 was pretty killer sounding!

[@Dsullivann]

Love Nick D'Virgilio great drummer and a super knowledgeable dude. Always enjoy your Sweetwater vids

[@timsears951]

the snare drum is the heart & soul of a full kit...no question about it...

[@Audiojunkk]

great info and this guy is an absolute BEAST on the tubs!

[@TedSchoenling]

I'm not a drummer.. I'm just here because I love hearing Nick play and explain things!

[@slimbeaux]

Entertaining, Educational, and just plain fun to listen to. Thanks Man, I am Grateful.

[@anselmopadilla4521]

You know what is really cool about snare drums is that no matter how you tune it, it influences you to play differently. When you change things your playing changes to go with that tuning. It makes you more versatile which is amazing!

[@teihaka5132]

What I like most is the strange magic hands that insert the skin of the snare in the last show

[@jannbautista4480]

I want my own set of hands that give me different sticks 😂

[@markomarkovic5729]

I want Nick's set of hands, they play much better than mine😃

[@alexanderg.t.laurencelle8693]

Each pare of fingers is a different set of sticks

[@joecheese2787]

Edward drum stick hands

[@jackxavier3915]

This is interestingly repulsive

[@kevinmccracken8950]

Nick is a national treasure.

[@cyb3r3vil30]

No drummer here but damn Sounding good! TFS

[@danivicario]

Nick explains it very well and clear. Loved how friendly seems!

[@markomarkovic5729]

Yes, putting a wallet on a snare can drastically change its tone, which I found out completely by accident😃 I was on a jam session with a friend of mine, and the snare sounded AWFUL + it wasn't tuned and I didn't have the key with me. We were in the middle of a rehearsal when I couldn't find my wallet, in which I held a paper on which I wrote down some ideas that I wanted to try. When I found it, I put it on the snare so that I wouldn't lose it again - and now the snare sounded incomparably better! The only problem was that the vibrations have constantly moved the wallet, causing it to fall to the floor. You can also get a nice fat sound when you put another head on top of your batter head.

[@VFizz]

The Splash Cymbal was amazing Seriously

[@brane4859]

Where is St. Anger trash can?

[@AlexRooneyComposer]

That one is piss easy, tune your snare with the snare tension really low then turn the snare wires off and boom, st anger!

[@brane4859]

Alex Rooney Wow, Lars was so innovative back in the day.

[@theTrend7]

Great video, also LOVE those cajon sticks

[@chargersfan246]

I can't stress enough as a guitar player how important it is to learn all you can about playing drums and playing bass.

[@The_Alex47]

Why doesn't slipknot use sound 10? it would fit amazing :D

[@samgreen8865]

Incredible job guys! Keep it up!

[@alexraphael6534]

Wow. Great break down.

[@mikelawct]

im in love with nick d

[@timothycroke5307]

Nick would sound great playing with two paper straws (save the turtles) on a cardboard box.

[@Aayush_Chawla7]

There’s my snare! I have snare in my headphones 🎧🎶

[@Groovix2020]

Hi Nick! Could you demo Ronald Bruner Jr Signature snare please?? That would be great!!

[@That_Guy4381]

Nice Firegrain 5A Sticksb

[@guywire3649]

@larsulrich - tips for remastering Saint Anger

[@sweetwater]

😂

[@josteinv.jordet257]

Ah, a high tuned snare drum. I've been at practice with the brass band in my town, and the drum set has an old remo 14×10 aluminum snare tuned deeeeeeeeeep, nothing wrong with that but, nice to hear a bit more "aliveness" sometimes.

[@Ernesto87]

What about the Ringo special?

[@AdamSpade]

As the saying should go "Nobody is truly happy until they buy a drum kit."

[@pobehlicaCaptava]

👍🥁na parádu🤓🇸🇰

[@tyreesethegreat8628]

What is that called that he played at (0:10)

[@roybeckerman9253]

Unmuffled tuned high, is still the best sound. Not unlike the Pearl Aluminium Sensitone.

[@QqQq-py8ux]

Sound number 7 Vader cahoon brushes??? Or....?

[@oobernoober7617]

The moment I heard the brushes I thought of a jazz tune kinda like King Dice's theme from Cuphead

[@bighungry98]

Oof I’m a sucker for that detuned snare sound.

[@KaiOwensDrums]

My favorite fat sound is putting a mouse pad where u hit

[@tavosamuel15]

What's the name of the best snare

[@sanjayiyer7829]

Start was from sucker song

[@Lucid276]

I want my snare to sound like snares in a drum line how can I do that?

[@fattycockman7830]

You forgot one you can turn the snares off

[@SHWOOP221]

What ride is that?

[@ledzeppelinfan12344]

I part of me died when he slapped his sticks on that Tama Star bass drum after picking up the hot rods

[@company543]

what's teh name of the snare?

[@starvio97]

How you dOIN' EVERYBODY Nick *D-Virgynanaablablehajdlshalhsqphwnoililio* here "Ummm... what? *rewinds*

[@VNIDEM]

Dude!!! you look a little bit like Paul Rudd

[@walkinburro]

He looks like my math teacher

[@NizarilMojojin]

It does hurt to see sticks laying on that beautiful bass drum, slowly damaging the finish. Must be my ocd talking ^_^

[@samgardner1239]

What’s that high hat?

[@sweetwater]

Hey, Sam! Nick used Sabian HH Vanguard 14" hats in the video. Thanks for checking it out! 👍

[@knotishet11]

I thought he is neil zaza🤣

[@adamwatkins3313]

What HH hats are those please???

[@cbaum64]

They’re the Sabian HH Vanguard Series hi hats if you were still wondering!

[@adamwatkins3313]

Thanks

[@e.p.5075]

Do you agree that it is out of tune? Discrepancy is what pleaces the public the most!

[@ethanm1261]

Sticks, slammed on a TAMA STAR $3K+ kick drum?!? WHYYYYYYY!?!?!

[@chargersfan246]

Looks like torrified sticks...

[@lucyferina]

I only when the snare is too tight it just sounds bad, listen to any track from black sabbath headless cross, an example of a great sounding snare, on the tight side listen to deftones white pony album, any tighter than that It just sounds like shit .....aka lamb of god sounds.....it cuts better in the mix is a bullshit excuse....don't over tighten ffs

[@viktor7m]

And none of them is decent studioish warm, fat, Eagles-type sound....that could be snare sound number 2, but with moongel and a just little more detuned. But, I appreciate the effort.

[@evieatarax]

I really thought the Big Fat Snare Drum did a good job at that, although if you're looking for that warm, fat sound you'd probably be best off with a different drum

[@mpcvore]

"Big Fat Snare" is a joke...!

[@austincox1709]

mpcvore no it’s not. i love mine, but it has to have a specific tone to get the sound you want. doesn’t work on all shares

[@mpcvore]

@@austincox1709 my feeling is that you can have the same sound using an "E-ring Evans", which is by far less expensive....

[@UziBlancoOfficial]

Im trying to get a similar sound as the snares that are in the 1st break down in the song watch the world burn by falling in reverse.. all i can think of to call it is like a semi deeper tone, Rock/Metal snare..
