I'll be honest. I dont hear a big difference but the canopus sound the best to me. That snare sounds incredible though.

Definitely! Canopus Vintage Dry is one of my secret weapons and I have retro-fitted all my snares with them. Best of the best.

yet another great clip demonstrating the wires are all the same no matter the cost, so I say - pay less money and more attention to tuning
@llRoBoBinHoll7 ай бұрын
That’s definitely not my takeaway. The Millenium snares (especially the 20 strand) sound a lot more boxy than the rest. I think wires are a pretty big factor for the snare sound, being a part of the drum that actually vibrates and produces sound.

Thanks for the effort. If these videos have taught me anything, it's that the wires barely even matter 😄
@Slalom_Steve3 жыл бұрын
I'm curious if you have any opinions on how the different options fare in terms of sympathetic buzz? I hate a ton of extra buzz. I'd expect that more snare wires means more buzz, but I've heard an idea that with more wires, you can tighten them higher without choking the sound, and since the tighter the wires are the less buzz there is, you get a good snare sound and less buzz.

I have never tried sets of extra wires, but jut the opposite : I use 8 strand snares (Sonor Straight 8, or puresound and Pearl sets I trim down). I have also tried a 13" set with 8 wires after having seen one of the latest videos of Sound Like a Drum about 13" wires on 14" snares. It works wonders.

Thanks for confirming what I had already assumed, All of these setups sound exactly like snare wires. I really can't tell the difference from one set to the other. If you ever decide to take up this project again in the future.... I have some considerations 1- Please consider a concert snare tuning with open and pressed rolls 2- Please make the tuning more specific. (snare strainer engaged, plus XXX many turns of the strainer) this way the test is far less subjective and more repetitive. Just mark the strainer tensioner with a line once the snares are engaged and reasonably working 3- Please consider starting at the most loose setting and playing the drum as you tension the snares to their tightest (turning while tapping) Thanks

In my time playing with snares and such I’ve found that as long as your snare drum is tuned properly and you make sure the snare wires sit flat and even on reso head, any snare wire will be good. 20 wire works for me no matter how expensive or cheap.

@alanduncan1980 Жыл бұрын
12 or 16 strand is plenty of wires. With more wires, you can get some buzzing if they're not aligned perfectly. They can get skewed on the drum, so you end up with uneven tension across all wires. Less wires the better. For me, anyway.

Tbh I feel like you don't get a true idea of which snare is right for you until you play on these snares, feel is a big part of it and snares will sound wildly different depending on your playstyle. That being said this video is a good place to start when picking out which snares to start trying. My personal favorites are Canopus snares, more responsive than any other snare brand I've tried.

It's remarkable to hear that the pure sound snares primarily affect the "roll" sound and leave the drum open on the single hits. I do like the wider ones, up to about the 30 strands, they give a little more control at the single strokes, but a full buzz on the rolls. Excellent video! Thanks!
@llRoBoBinHoll7 ай бұрын
I think on quiet hits you hear the most difference. The Milleniums have this low, cardboardy quality to them on the ghost notes. On the accents everything sounds pretty similar

good video.. but it would be better yo just compare the materials, like steel, copper, etc.. i was looking such kind of video.. happy to seee this. 12 to 20 wires is best. not more than 24 not less than 12..:) bu still not sure about the material of the wires.
@vincentfederico1585 Жыл бұрын
There is so much more articulation with the 42's. If you set the 42's level and flat, and tighten or loosen the lugs on either side of the wire set, you can't get the versatility with any other wire set. IMHO.

Thank you! Great comparison! I like here Puresound C1416 for a regular sound and Millenium SW20BR or Puresound CPS1424 for vintage marching-drum-like sound

This has taught me that snare wires make a very limited difference haha. That's a nicely tuned snare drum, which makes em all sound good. Although I would be interested to know the difference between stock wires vs these. Great vid!
@hugorezende199 Жыл бұрын
Thanks a lot for the comparison. its indeed too subtle to spot a diference in many of those, in extreme, a 16 wire and 42 wire it will make a diference, but still not as i was imagining. I have to say tho that too many wires on the snare could be a little anoying for a recording situation, you hit toms and them your snare is buzzing. About material and quality, its really no big diference, maybe in a long run about the durability of the wires.

I don't see the snare side mic. I think the difference would be more obvious with it in the mix. Normally we should record a snare drum with the snare side mic. It adds a lot to the overall sound. I think that's why so many people didn't hear much difference between different wires.
