SLP vs SLP: Comparing Tama's G-Bubinga vs Expressive Hammered Steel

[@camerondean6804]

Thank you. You just got a new subscriber. Leaning heavily towards getting the Expressive Steel. As you know, the G-Bubinga is highly regarded. I liked the sound of the Expressive Steel better. I am the same as you regarding rimshotting. I use them sparingly.

Yeah I'm very happy with both snares, and it's quite amazing to hear the difference. I'm pretty much convinced at this point that shell composition and bearing edge cut are the two most influential factors on a drum sound. I was stunned by the quality of the build on the EHS, and I certainly recommend it if you like that little bit of "pinging " from the steel shell. Another thing worth mentioning is how actually sensitive it is to various tuning. When you hit the right pitch for your kit, it just shines outright! Peace!
