Pearl Omar Hakim 13"x5" Snare Drum Review

This is an older Hakim model (hence the gold hardware) that is just a little beast when tuned up higher. The head is a Remo Coated CS Dot with an Ambassador reso.

how do you get the toms to sound like that?

[UntalentedGearhead]

Tune them low. Reso a little higher on rack toms and lower on floor toms.

This drum shines in a lower tuning. I can clearly hear the top head is not in tune with itself, therefor you are getting an undesired sound. Tune it properly and I bet your opinion would change.

[UntalentedGearhead]

I agree that it is not truly in tune. I did this quickly, didn't change the bottm head at all, just for demonstration. However, even when I've properly tuned it, to me it didn't sound that good at a low tuning. To each his own. :)

how do get that sound out of your toms?

[UntalentedGearhead]

Tune loose. Clear, 2 ply heads help too. Those are Evans G2. But don't use any muffling.

Dude, you've GOT to hear Lamb Of God's snare drum!! have you? isn't it gorgeous?

@UntalentedGearhead-Ignore the haters, you'll always get a couple of trolls no matter what you post on Youtube. I think the snare sounds real good in the high and medium high tuning. How do you tune your batter and resonant heads to one another? Also, your kick sounds great, what heads are you using on it and how are the two heads on it tune? Thanks

[Maskedfreakinabox]

@KyrgObey agreed, the Chris Adler snare is indeed delicious. When tuned appropriately it can be used for almost any style of music, I wish I had one. Check out the Velvetone too.

Some moongels would work wonders on that

[mythkid1208]

I love snare drums on high tuning

[lanice77]

[KaydanAidan]

Good review...to be honest with the low tuning still sounded not bad...what a good snare

[5drum5]

This drum sounds terrible. It has a awful hmm to it. What drums are you playing they sound like cheap pieces of crap.
