@Killyoudeadnstuff Just experimenting. For my mic placement it helps to kill some of the extra ringing that is more easily detected by the microphones... But you make a good point!
@wildbill1240 Make sure each lug has the same tightness. A more equal sound will be produced. Do the same on the toms and you won't need muffling ring and they'll sound more full.
Also make sure the bottom heads are tuned right. And make sure the snares have nice wires.
@wildbill1240 Well it really depends on what sound you are trying to get out of your snare. If you want a high pitched crack, then both heads should be tight, or if you want fat rock sound then try medium tight on batter and a little looser on the reso. Experiment on different combos to see what you like.
@mythkid1208 Thanks for the input. None of them are triggered but it could be the reverb gate that sounds a little artificial. I think I improved the miking on the next 17 snare comparison video. Maybe you'll want to check it out?

Hey Bill! Idk if you remember me, but I made a new channel. Check out my video! I'll be putting up more soon. As far as snares go, I really love that Yamaha aluminum in this song. And, having a Pork Pie myself, I know that snare has potential. It just has crap heads and tuning in this video haha. And that Fortune sounds really odd!
@tbdrummer2 I guess I never responded to this comment but I did talk to you recently on one of my posts. Thanks for finding me again and for all of your support. Yeah, the drums end up sounding better in my 17 drum comparison... Well, take care!
I like the Porkie Pie snare and I have a Pearl Piccolo & Yamaha Anton Fig but this Porkie Pie added spice and your kit toms are just Great !!! Thankx for letting me do a drive by ..
the Piccolo sounds the worst, next to the Gadd snare, i'd say. the bigger snares have potential, though the tunings are all garbage. i enjoyed the comparison, thanks for posting!
@crashintome352 Thanks for your vote. Actually I am running the SM57 mic through a compressor but this is pretty standard for every recording you hear so I think it's fair to include in the test. I appreciate your input!
Although none were outstanding, I'd have to say, DW.
Too bad, because you have a ton of money tied up in poor sounding snares. Perhaps it's the micing, tuning, or just the application .
Drums can be made to sound good or bad. There are many variables, including batter and resonant head choices, tuning range, snare wires, and damping. All of those variables have to jive with the shell, hardware and hoops.
@SilenceFriction Thanks so much for the input. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some feedback. I admit that this video's sound did come out a bit lacking. If you want to see the newer one, it's entitled "17 Snare Drum Comparison." Maybe you will find the tuning quality enhanced a bit... Take care!

for me it would be the dw or the yamaha aluminum...and i would say the shootout could be improved by either damping each snare or letting each snare ring. The dw head looks like it has a center dot and a damping ring edge...
@Remko1024 Ahhh, I'd pick the brass of course! Well, thanks for watching our original music, too. Not many people do but we appreciate it when people comment on it. Glad you liked it. Take care friend!
Nice work mate but I think rather pointless, it's great to hear the character of these snares way on top of the mix like that but makes no sense for evaluating these sounds critically. As soon as you get them into the mix the sound and character is changed dramatically buy the other instruments in the mix. You can tweek the crap out of soloed track for days but if it isn't treated to fit well in the mix it will can still sound terrible. Less mics, less chanells, more feel, less anal detail. :)
@readerwriter Yeah, I agree. There are sooooo many factors that affect the sound of a snare drum that the comparison has to have a lot of "givens" and the variables and "what if you did this" factors will be endless. I tried to just mix each snare like it would be mixed for a recording...like you'd hear it on your stereo if you bought it from the CD store. But hopefully it at least conveyed the basic tone of each snare drum...a general idea...
thats not really a controlled experiment. why would you use different heads on drums. they should all have the same heads... this video is pointless now
@hobes9 Time, money, resource-limited. I wish I could have. When you boil it down, there are just too many factors to consider and control in this experiment. So I resolved to just give each drum it's "best chance" to shine. I put the heads on them that I think sound best according to each individual drum. Sorry to disappoint though!

#1 and #3 fit the song and sound great. Love the Gadd. The PorkPie...was it acrylic? Hate those. the piccolo could have been a tuning thing as it should have cracked but seemed to have a lot of ring. overall, lot of fun to hear. you play well. rock on.
@upnunder13 Thanks for the feedback. The Pork Pie is an acrylic snare. I appreciate the compliments! Maybe you'll like some of the other snares in my 17 snare comparison video. Take care!
@Tracebebo I really wish I knew. It just didn't come with a placard or any indication of what series it is. It's from my church and it was purchased in the 90s...that's all I know. Sorry!
I've got a pork pie acrylic snare (clear with black lugs 6x14).... they are good drums. Very loud. I like a sharp crack so I tighten the hell out of it : )
@fantastixful Thanks a lot. the sound is all natural, actually. Glad you like them. My favorite tom sound I got is in our band's video "It's Not Like You Died." I'll be making a drum tuning video, too....
To my taste, I prefer the 14x7" Yamaha Stage Custom Aluminum, followed by the 14x5" Black DW. None of the other ones sounded good to my ears. But the Yamaha and the DW were great. That's my pick.
@SgtCrazy128 Only without any muffling like in this video. I put a moongel on it in the next video (check video responses). 17 snare comparison, check it out!
Second was terrible for this song. Love the third. forth isn't bad but would sound better in rap music i think. 5th isn't bad. Sixth is better than fifth. the last one makes me think hair metal. My vote is on the third.
I loved the fortune snare the most for a more dry sound and would also love the DW for a change. I seem to love my snare a chepo made by Rhythm Art 14x4.5 but my new snare head a Attatck 1ply med coated broke in 2 weeks now I'm getting a Aqauarian texture coated for free. i had to put my 11 yr. old snare head back on because my band has a gig Sunday and our drummer needs a good sounding snare. -PK
@xxxPinkyGSterxxx haha, I wish I could help you there...but I only have access to so many snares. I think the Ludwig Black Beauty is next on the list to buy...then maybe the Danny Carey signature. I'd have to look into Chris Adler's...
@kalmantzvi1 Well, having recently bought a custom-designed Fortune snare drum, I can't honestly say the Pork Pie is my favorite drum but it is certainly fun to play with and adds variety to the collection when I want a change of pace. It does better in my 17 snare video with a moon gel on it. Good tuning range - I typically like it cranked tight but it has good lows at lower settings. Great for the price. No doubt about that.
@ninjaman1777 Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I can probably get that sound. Do you have any specific bands in mind? Usually if you crank it tight enough and put the mic in the right place you can get those punk sounds.
@wildbill1240@wildbill1240 yes the band blink 182 but the drumer likes to change the sound and snares in muiltiblesongs but in this song "FEELING THIS"
this type of sound in the snare is awsome! if you could post a video with that pork pie having a similar if not exact sound please do! thanks a bunch man
@ninjaman1777 Yeah, I'll try to do another video with the snare. It's pretty hard to mimic a snare sound because so much goes into the recording of it - room sound, mic placement, overhead mics, drum tuning, equalization, compression, mix, etc.. But I agree, it is a good sound.
@habit1979 Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I use Paiste Signature series...all of the sizes and details are in my profile.... If you liked this video you might like my other snare comparison videos. Take care!
The Pearl one is my favorite one...because I just high pitched snares more :) but I like the DW you used, it's nice :) no offense, but the Pork Pie one kinda sucks...in my opinion anyway, it looks nice though :)
@basjeman11 Hey, thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment. I actually bought moongels after making this video and I used them on almost every drum in my 17 snare drum shootout (which is a video response to this video). So maybe you'll like the sound better...thanks for stopping by.
Thanks Bill--telling me it was a heavy drum says it's more likely to be steel--I foung one very similiar on ebay, I hopefull I'll be able to get a sound like yours. I play six nites a week in a bar in Marathon Fl called the Brass Monkey--You said you are in Fl, if you get this way stop in and jam with us-I'm the guitar player in the band and I love your drumming--Im an older guy 59 but I still love to play-there are some videos of us on Youtube-just type in freddie bye -take care Bill and thanks
@freddiebye Hey Freddie, you guys are really solid. You've got quite a following too. Ha, I'd love to go as far tropical as you are but I'm all the way up here in Pensacola swimming in oil. But I'll keep it in mind if I ever got that far South. Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you like my snare drums and my drumming. That's awesome that you play both instruments. You play some good tunes too (Rebel Yell). Keep on rocking!
Hi Bill, I still searching--Could you tell me the Model no. of the the Yamaha aluminium--also could you check the exact thickness, is it possible that it's 6 1/2 instead of 7--also Ive seen alot of just old shells on ebay with the same 5 "rings" around the shell, they all are shown as steel, and are shown as 5 1/2 without rims...Does it specify on the label that it is aluminium--how heavy does it feel--could it possible be a steel drum--Ive seen alot of old catologs and no yamahas with 5 rings
@freddiebye Wow, that's a tough one... Unfortunately I'm living in Florida right now and my drum kit is back in Ohio! It could be that the depth is 6.5 inches... I honestly cannot remember there being an obvious tag on it with a model number either. It is a heavy drum, so I may have been wrong about it being aluminum. Someone had told me it was at some point but that may be dead wrong. I bought it used so I really know nothing about it! I'm sorry to be of so little help!
Thanks for the quick reply 4:30 in the morning--you must play late in a bar too....?? I know as micro as I am -I wont stop looking for that snare until I find one. Get some sleep..
@freddiebye Haha, well, that's not actually the case. I live in Florida right now on the beach and this 4th of July weekend is quite crazy. There are tons of people making noise right now so somehow it is contagious and I can't sleep. I'm just sitting on the porch with the coolest breeze I've felt in Florida all summer...so it's enjoyable. But yeah, I do need to sleep at some point! You should too!
I love the tone of the Yamaha aluminium--i've looked everywhere online trying to find one, and buy one, I've had no luck--any idea how I can get ahold of one?
@freddiebye That's a good question. It's such an old drum by now that I'd really only expect to find it in the classifieds or ebay or some used section...maybe craigslist. It is just a stock snare drum for a pretty typical Yamaha stage or tour series drumset. I'd argue that you can make another aluminum drum sound very similar with some careful tuning and the right head...
my favs are the first the 14x5 dw, i love how it doesn't ring too long and is crisp sounding. second is the pearl piccolo, right after that the maple fortune snare and then the yamaha. the steve gad is good but not my thing and pork pie sounds bad, rings too long after. remember, these are just my opinions.
@MikeHawkZeeDrummer Thanks for the feedback...I'm glad you like it. The description is in the video info and it is also in another snare competition in my video responses if you want to make sure you really like it...
I really like the yamaha aluminum. i've always been a fan of metal snare drums. Also like the deeper ones. really bright and punchy. Oh and I didn't like how the roland sounded at all.
All the heads were different, right? So hard to really compare. Hate all Pork Pies that I've heard by the way. Would be interesting to see the snares on each. First drum was pretty good.
@rwl7532 Yes, the heads were different. It is difficult to compare. Mic placement, tuning, snares, etc. are going to factor in. I tried to make each drum sound as good as it could by giving it a head that brought out its tones well and tuned it appropriately. I have 2 more snare comparisons and these snares are included if you want further listens...
out of curiosity why are you muffling the genera dry heads? they dont seem to have any resonance to my ears

Second was terrible for this song. Love the third. forth isn't bad but would sound better in rap music i think. 5th isn't bad. Sixth is better than fifth. the last one makes me think hair metal. My vote is on the third.

Steve Gadd easy. It doesn't suit the music but it's def my favourite.

The DW snare kicks the shit out of the rest... the Steve Gadd signature hurts my head.
mustangcobain65 1 year ago
I loved the fortune snare the most for a more dry sound and would also love the DW for a change. I seem to love my snare a chepo made by Rhythm Art 14x4.5 but my new snare head a Attatck 1ply med coated broke in 2 weeks now I'm getting a Aqauarian texture coated for free. i had to put my 11 yr. old snare head back on because my band has a gig Sunday and our drummer needs a good sounding snare. -PK

@xxxPinkyGSterxxx haha, I wish I could help you there...but I only have access to so many snares. I think the Ludwig Black Beauty is next on the list to buy...then maybe the Danny Carey signature. I'd have to look into Chris Adler's...

Thanks for the great video! My ear is leaning towards the pork pie acrylic. How's the durability? Tuning range? Overall impression?
kalmantzvi1 1 year ago
@kalmantzvi1 Well, having recently bought a custom-designed Fortune snare drum, I can't honestly say the Pork Pie is my favorite drum but it is certainly fun to play with and adds variety to the collection when I want a change of pace. It does better in my 17 snare video with a moon gel on it. Good tuning range - I typically like it cranked tight but it has good lows at lower settings. Great for the price. No doubt about that.
wildbill1240 1 year ago
@wildbill1240 very nice video man! i was wondering if you can get that great bing type sound like you hear in punk bands and metal? thanks man!
ninjaman1777 1 year ago
@ninjaman1777 Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I can probably get that sound. Do you have any specific bands in mind? Usually if you crank it tight enough and put the mic in the right place you can get those punk sounds.
wildbill1240 1 year ago
@wildbill1240 @wildbill1240 yes the band blink 182 but the drumer likes to change the sound and snares in muiltiblesongs but in this song "FEELING THIS"
this type of sound in the snare is awsome! if you could post a video with that pork pie having a similar if not exact sound please do! thanks a bunch man
you can here the snare better in the break down
ninjaman1777 1 year ago
@ninjaman1777 Yeah, I'll try to do another video with the snare. It's pretty hard to mimic a snare sound because so much goes into the recording of it - room sound, mic placement, overhead mics, drum tuning, equalization, compression, mix, etc.. But I agree, it is a good sound.

@basjeman11 Hey, thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment. I actually bought moongels after making this video and I used them on almost every drum in my 17 snare drum shootout (which is a video response to this video). So maybe you'll like the sound better...thanks for stopping by.
wildbill1240 1 year ago
Thanks Bill--telling me it was a heavy drum says it's more likely to be steel--I foung one very similiar on ebay, I hopefull I'll be able to get a sound like yours. I play six nites a week in a bar in Marathon Fl called the Brass Monkey--You said you are in Fl, if you get this way stop in and jam with us-I'm the guitar player in the band and I love your drumming--Im an older guy 59 but I still love to play-there are some videos of us on Youtube-just type in freddie bye -take care Bill and thanks

@freddiebye Hey Freddie, you guys are really solid. You've got quite a following too. Ha, I'd love to go as far tropical as you are but I'm all the way up here in Pensacola swimming in oil. But I'll keep it in mind if I ever got that far South. Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you like my snare drums and my drumming. That's awesome that you play both instruments. You play some good tunes too (Rebel Yell). Keep on rocking!
wildbill1240 1 year ago
Hi Bill, I still searching--Could you tell me the Model no. of the the Yamaha aluminium--also could you check the exact thickness, is it possible that it's 6 1/2 instead of 7--also Ive seen alot of just old shells on ebay with the same 5 "rings" around the shell, they all are shown as steel, and are shown as 5 1/2 without rims...Does it specify on the label that it is aluminium--how heavy does it feel--could it possible be a steel drum--Ive seen alot of old catologs and no yamahas with 5 rings
freddiebye 1 year ago
@freddiebye Wow, that's a tough one... Unfortunately I'm living in Florida right now and my drum kit is back in Ohio! It could be that the depth is 6.5 inches... I honestly cannot remember there being an obvious tag on it with a model number either. It is a heavy drum, so I may have been wrong about it being aluminum. Someone had told me it was at some point but that may be dead wrong. I bought it used so I really know nothing about it! I'm sorry to be of so little help!

@freddiebye Haha, well, that's not actually the case. I live in Florida right now on the beach and this 4th of July weekend is quite crazy. There are tons of people making noise right now so somehow it is contagious and I can't sleep. I'm just sitting on the porch with the coolest breeze I've felt in Florida all summer...so it's enjoyable. But yeah, I do need to sleep at some point! You should too!

I love the tone of the Yamaha aluminium--i've looked everywhere online trying to find one, and buy one, I've had no luck--any idea how I can get ahold of one?
freddiebye 1 year ago
@freddiebye That's a good question. It's such an old drum by now that I'd really only expect to find it in the classifieds or ebay or some used section...maybe craigslist. It is just a stock snare drum for a pretty typical Yamaha stage or tour series drumset. I'd argue that you can make another aluminum drum sound very similar with some careful tuning and the right head...

my favs are the first the 14x5 dw, i love how it doesn't ring too long and is crisp sounding. second is the pearl piccolo, right after that the maple fortune snare and then the yamaha. the steve gad is good but not my thing and pork pie sounds bad, rings too long after. remember, these are just my opinions.

All the heads were different, right? So hard to really compare. Hate all Pork Pies that I've heard by the way. Would be interesting to see the snares on each. First drum was pretty good.
rwl7532 1 year ago
@rwl7532 Yes, the heads were different. It is difficult to compare. Mic placement, tuning, snares, etc. are going to factor in. I tried to make each drum sound as good as it could by giving it a head that brought out its tones well and tuned it appropriately. I have 2 more snare comparisons and these snares are included if you want further listens...
wildbill1240 1 year ago
I like 1, 3
I love 4
I hate 2
I'm not really a fan of 5, piccolo snares arent my thing.
6 is my favorite of the snares
7 will always be my real favorite though as the possibilities are endless.
I really dislike the pork pie one, it sounds like st. anger
