[UnitCrane514]

Thanks man! I dont know what the number of strands on the wire is but I am upgrading my batter head to a Fiberskyn and the wires to puresound wires that cut out the buzz, I really think its just the shitty wires but thanks for the tips!

[UnitCrane514]

I have the first snare that you played and I am having troble tuning the buzz out of it, I am using a powerstroke 3 on top and an ambassador on the bottom with sound percussion wires. Any help with this is greatly appriciated!

[cdiaz55]

@UnitCrane514 does buzzing come from just playing the snare? or buzzing when playing other drums? how many wires on purecussion?Are you tuning heads the same tension(bottom should be tuned a tad higher)! you can also try detuning the tenions rods on each side of snare beds a bit! hope this help!

[Xxhiddenxdragon24xX]

You should make the heads the same next time so we can clearly see the difference.

[MrNikolaMaric]

wood!!

[wp08021]

steel snares r loader than wood snares, i prefer steel

[nlbjones]

Wood snare will always out sing metal even a cheaply made wood snare-..

what is the bearing edge set at ?,do you happen to know?-this will also make a

BIG,BIG difference when comparing snares especially between 2 wood snares.

[cdiaz55]

@nlbjones Bearing edges are original old round edges!

[nlbjones]

@cdiaz55 yes,but do you happen to know the cut angle..just curious thnx.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@nlbjones I highly disagree. I'd take brass/aluminum/steel over maple any day! Although I will say that birch snare drums are absolutely killer!

[Oceansandblue]

i love the sound of the fiberskyn, but fuck, i bought one of the weekend for a gig, 3 songs in, i put a hole in it. not too impressed.

[cdiaz55]

@Oceansandblue they make heavier (powerstroke) fiberskyn!

[FrieLegos]

so i'm going to get a new snare drum. would you suggest metal or wood?

[Eckerick]

I love the 3 ply Slingerlands. I vote wood. But I also vote Fiberskyn over EQ2. I play an early 30's Radioking birdseye maple so I'm a little biased.

[MortenBoHansen]

no doubt the nature part;)

[willlol96]

i prefer the metal snare :)

[alvintkh]

wood- warm n fat sound...steel- sharp n bright sound...=)

[blackartsdrummer666]

wood definetly has a more full pronounced sound to it while the metal is more bright and poppy so it depends on what you play

[EvangelicArtist1]

i think that if you have to make a snare test between steel and wood snares, the should have the same head and hazy on it and at least have the same tunning and then compare and see which one sounds better and has a less ring to it. but thats just me:) anyways, i think the steel sounds better:)

[willkarling]

not the same head.....

[ocdrumboy1]

like em both but that wood sounds better to me... even though im kind of a superphonic kind of guy :)

[cdiaz55]

@ocdrumboy1 Thanks drumboy, check out my brass piccolo I posted

[gigipie1]

@unlikeanyotherhuman good video period. good stick control.I hate time keeping but the sound is always versitile compared to what is on the drummers mind when putting the snare in time....I would always go with a wood snare but. your video changed my mind ,I like the Evans drum head defiant-lee .you can't go wrong with Slingerland drums....(-:

[TheXBLACKCROSSX]

the wooden one

[jtn2895]

i have that same snare its amazing

[cdiaz55]

@jtn2895 Which one?

[jtn2895]

@cdiaz55 the steel one

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Really like the way you hit the snare.

[hypoclit]

i appreciate that you made the vid i don't care about the head choice. these drums speak for themselves. Thanks

[cdiaz55]

Greetings human, thanks for your kind comments! as for buzzing(sympathetic ring) these snares are being played in a two car garage with a 20 foot ceiling not the best of rooms for recording for sure! But snare sound is tighter in a smaller room setting! Los........

[CoryMoody77]

Hey dude its Cory here again.

I just got an evans hazy coated head for my snare with the little aluminum rings in it and it sounds amazing!

I got the idea after watching this!

Thanks!

[cdiaz55]

@CoryMoody77 Glad the hear my vid helped!

[genemz5]

What the hell are you doing? You used entirely different batter heads in comparison? All things must be equal if you are to compare. Same heads are a must. Same tuning. Was this a joke? Or to find out how stupid some drummers can be? ;-)

[cdiaz55]

Relax Gene, I just wanted to use heads that would bring out the each snares best sound potential! let's face it the fyberskyn sounds terrible on the metal snare, plus youtubers get to here heads that they wouldn't normally run on there snare drums! All's good in the drumming family! later.......

[genemz5]

You should have done a head comparison using the same drum, first. Then compare the other drum using both heads. That would at least be fair.

[DiobloHunter]

WOOD........

[mrboverbro]

well they both had totally different heads

[forzaitalia5910]

how much does that wood snare drum sell for?

[cdiaz55]

Greetings forzaitalia, you can usually find 3ply Slingerland snare drums from $100. to $250,depending on finish and condition! check e-bay,craigslist, and pawn shops! good luck...........

[FPSFRED]

wood!

[gabbalabbawoop]

both sound good to me, i like the wood for my jazz, the metal for louder situations :)

[jazzkidding]

Both great snares.

[juanbaratto]

definetly metal

[jodasile2]

Metal

[therevdrummeravenged]

wooden snares are better but in this case the metal one is better

[JazzyCongaHead]

WOOD!!!

[hkplaymad]

wood

[CirrusUncinus]

I also prefer the wooden one... but it should be noted that the heads are of very different thicknesses, though.

[zwan94]

metal

[joe97yo]

Wood.
