What a great snare sound , i love it Thank you for sharing your experience , Cant wait to explore all your videos 😀🥁

[@aussiefarmer8741]

I had 1 and sold it, wrong. I ran a controlled sound on top high tune. bottom head looser with tight wires man it was snappy , cracky and did it have punch. Great vid thanks.

[@andygriffiths7230]

Good stuff Phil. Snare drum sounds great

[@paulusintas8627]

FANTASTIC snare! Thanks for sharing Phil :)

[@philgaudion5452]

Glad you like it Paul - yeah, I'm a fan for life of these... hope it helps you select what you're after too - thanks for your comment

This snare drum by Pearl sounds similar to a Ludwig Black Beauty.

[@christiancea6]

Nice groove, your drums sound great.

[@philgaudion5452]

thank you Christian - very kind!

[@timothycline1570]

Excellent vid. Playing & snare sound Awesome.

[@Tweek5470]

First time I've ever seen someone with that mic position, sounds good tho.

[@waynebaker2452]

Great sound! I am looking at a used one that I haven't played in person yet. Does the "Elite" have the 1.5 mm shell? I know the newer ones have a 1mm.

[@philgaudion5452]

hey Wayne - it seems this info is really hard to pin down - can't even find info on the PearlDrum website - all I can say is that this thing is HEAVY in weight. I see Pearl have issued a 'Heritage version'! Sweetwater says both the Heritage & Beaded Brass version are 1mm! Can anyone else clarify?

[@salvatoreaidone7125]

hey paul! room is amazing! where are you located? is it an old church?

[@philgaudion5452]

hi Salvatore - thank you for your kind words - it's actually a converted carport with a vaulted ceiling (1 brick wall) - so it has a 'live' sound to it - I'm in Melbourne Australia - cheers

[@jeanpaulbartolini]

The floor tom it's 14" or 16"? Nice snare.

[@philgaudion5452]

hi Jean Paul - it's a 16" floor tom (mounted) - Pearl Masters Studio kit from 2000

[@jeanpaulbartolini]

@@philgaudion5452 thanks

[@roybeckerman9253]

How tight was the bottom head at the beginning, before you lowered the tension.

[@alloneword154]

Hi. Is the the same as black nickel brass model?

[@philgaudion5452]

yes - (even though this is an older model) - I believe my one here is a 'Nickel over Brass' shell as it is now know as.. thanks for the view!

[@aussiefarmer8741]

You didnt buy that from a bloke in s.a. did you, Because I sold 1 just like it to someone interstate a while back. Big mistake. Good review.

[@roybeckerman7843]
