Snare Drum: Metal or Wood?

[@mattddrums1]

Thank you Sir that was an informative and to the point video

Currently shopping for a snare. So many folks pointing me toward a metal shell but I have had a few over the years and continue to return to wood. I have an old birch Catalina that has been my work horse for years and I find it very versatile. I have been wanting to try oak or walnut. this video has helped make most of the decision. I will be staying with wood.

Nice one John , I'm delighted the video help, chat soon

That Vinnie Paul snare so so nice sounding. I have been looking at that same Gretsch snare too!! Gonna be on list of next purchases! Great video!

[@BrendrumJones]

Nice one Ag, the bronze is a killer snare you will love it. chat next week.

Thanks for saying so Bob, cheers for watching and chat to you soon 👍🏻

So nice . I’ve actually have the same Vinnie Paul Signature snare aswell as an Ultra Cast pearl snare. I’m looking into getting an Omar hakim ….. That blue pearl piccolo you had there sounds sooo good 😱😱😱😱

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks, the recording cam out very well, it cost about 200, good price

[@mixinkperranporth]

Good insight just wondering how an aluminium snare fits with the bunch

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks , so it would be a very bright direct attack , but attention on the mid range and it would be dry sounding. Some people say there's not much buzz from the wire , but I think that would depend on the depth

[@McDudouzz]

Omggggg great sounding snaresssss

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks for saying so, chat soon. Brendan

[@spartandrew8672]

That’s a great sounding kit no matter the snare

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks Drew , chat soon

[@frags4679]

I think a metal snare would be really good for recording thrash, just cuts though the mix. Really good video btw

[@BrendrumJones]

Yeah I agree very direct very cutting. Thanks for saying so, means a lot . Chat soon Bendan

For me wood wins. More pleasing to the ear.

Strange there's no ring on the first metal one

[@BrendrumJones]

I know , there was a little ring but didn't come through on the recording . It was tight enough in fairness
