snare

Hey yall! I'm planning on ordering a custom SQ2 (prolly in late 2026) and I'm starting to look into some snares that could get me a "KAW" sound (especially on rimshots ofc) or something similar like in Tom Sawyer by Rush or The Trooper by Iron Maiden to use with the SQ2 set. I contacted Drum...

JT147 - Tama JT147 John Tempesta Signature Snare Drum: The pairing of a 42-strand snappy snare with a deep 7" brass shell gives John's model an intense and powerful sound that has an unmatched depth of tone. With black nickel shell hardware complementing the brushed black nickel finish, the...

Hi all! I have a 13" by 6.5" Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute Snare drum (label says: ASD1360 QI01702 air seal system made in Japan) A while ago the snare and stand fell and all the pressure went onto the throw-off which subsequently broke. I have measured the hole placements of the fixings (the...

Hi Drummerworld! I am once again turning to you for help with identifying an instrument! This time it's a Ludwig snare that I spotted at an auction house. Provided are the only pictures that are available. To my untrained eye it kind of looks like an old Acrolite, that someone painted? The badge...

I recently bought a used one in Tokyo, but I don't know exactly what it is. I need your help. The store also said that they don't know the exact model. I will attach a picture, so please feel free to tell me. It looks like 14x6.5inch.

I need some help. Has any of you any experience with the Rogers Powertone snare 14x5? Does it sounds as good as the vintage Rogers snares from the sixties? They draw my attention, but there is not a shop near where I can try one.

How does this snare sound? I can only find one demo on YouTube and it sounds terrible on there. I already have a modern G4160, a 70s 4160, and a slingerland gene krupa sound king. Do I really need another brass snare? I'm looking for a snare that will get me in the ballpark of vinnie...

...and before we assess whether that snapping sound is in fact strainers engaging, or...please feel free to consider this a hypothetical for yourself and others. It isn't for me, tho. I am not a drummer. More of a composer and songwriter. But getting back into the drum kit bc that's a lot of...

How many of you have or have had the DW Acoustic EQ Snare?! This thing is amazing! You really can hear and feel the difference because of those vents. What an awesome idea and invention on DW's part. This snare is truly amazing! I had the opportunity to play one and do a video all about it and...

I picked this snare up in 2007. It was one of a 50-snare Extravaganza at NAMM that year. Read the synopsis in the first pic for more info about that. As the story goes, Vinnie Colaiuta had discovered a decades-old stash of NOS shells at the Gretsch warehouse...

Good Day fellow wood wielders, I am trying to identify this drum that I obtained back in the mid 2000's and I can't seem to find another like it. It is labeled a DW Collectors Series Snare, Made from Copper. It measures 14x5.5 but is date stamped inside the shell 2005. All of the copper...

My main snare is the SONOR AS 1406 CM, an absolutely beautiful instrument, checking all the boxes for me. It sounds best at mid and high tunings, which is what I generally prefer nonetheless. Lately our band tends to play some softer pop/rock stuff, which is why I'm looking for a side snare...

I acquired a Trixon snare maybe luxor? The original snares were not included amd 14s seemed overlong so tied some 13" wires on and used a hair band to keep engaged. It has a happy tone that i havent heard and looks cute so thought i would give it some love Im aware the original snares with...

Dear fellow drummers, Since I was patching up an old steel snare (bought it somewhere around 1988) I was wondering if I could call this snare a vintage snare. My gut feeling said 'yes' but thinking about the real age of it (about 37 years) I thought 'no'. But I was not sure wich was the right...

Just curious ... if you had to choose wich one of these snares would you pick? And why would you pick it, or why would you not pick it? British Drum Company Raven, 14x6, birch? Sonor SQ1, 14x6.5, birch? Sonor Artist Series, 14x6, maple?

I acquired a snare at the weekend and was wondering if anybody recognised the logo or knows anything about what brand it is? Thanks Chris

Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute 7x14 vs Ludwig Supraphonic 5x14 Think you can hear a difference between an aluminium and a maple drum? Well, Imade a blind test for you all! The answer will be posted in this thread tomorrow :) Tell me which one is your favourite!!

Hello I want to ask if someone have experience with this snare. If yes I found a video with higher tuning so its good for jazz. I want to ask how its doing in lower tunings? If I want to play rock with it I need some lower tunes. Can you help me? If you have some video it would help me a lot...

I just got the original OCDP Bellbrass, the 1of 50 made in yesterday. I also have the re-issue Bellbrass released earlier this year with only 19 made. Bill Detamore confirms they are both the same shell. The O.G. one was definitely cheaper than the re-issue, at least for me. The sharktooth...

Does anyone have experience with the Raven snare (British Drum Company)? It appears to be the most affordable snare of British Drum Company. It is all birch and it looks nice on the pics. I am very interested, but is it realy a good snare? Till now I was not in the position to try one myself.
