Hey guys, fun fact... the intro, outro, and transitions are me grooving over a loop with the Phosphor Bronze model. Sounds pretty killin if you ask me!
This shootout is awesome and very well done! Definitely feeling the Phosphor Bronze after this...
Can somebody tell me what head is he using on this comparison and all the other videos ?
@pop Gamer
Steel is probably the loudest for rock music.
Gretsch Brooklyn Chrome Over Steel is very good for that.
I agree
Sounds amazing Austin.
Dear everyone that's going to make a drum shoot-out youtube video... This video right here is your template on how to do it right.
No no. 1) use only the camera mic 2) at least 5 mins of talking before even showing the snare 3) slight tapping on the edge of the head with the snares off for a solid 2-3 minutes to begin with 4) just one bad tuning.
No doubt
I put my headphones on for this. Man this was like snare ASMR. I felt chills when it went to the medium tunings.
Autonomous Snare Meridian Response
Production is off the charts... they all sounded good!
Agreed I love them all in all the tunings given.
Well, I dropped enough hints that my wife got the Phosphor bronze for me this Christmas. This snare is GOLD. Im not exaggerating when I say I found the snare sound that's been in my head for a long time. Thanks for turning me to it!
Nice!👌🏼
Yeah they all sound good but that was my fav
Phosphor bronze at low tuning was incredible. Your mixes are killer, too
That bronze sounds amazing, and the 15" Mahogany
That's why I own both!
The consensus around the bronze confirms my impulse buy yesterday, moments after I heard it. It fills a sonic niche none of my other snares occupied.
All of them sound great at medium tuning
quite possibly the best produced snare comparison vid around. thank you for doing this!
My favorite finish is the premium brass, but overall, I gotta give it to the phosphor bronze! That thing sounded fantastic!! I did love the low tuning of the mahogany. Had a big Zeppelin vibe to it!!
I thought the mahogany tuned high sounded the best. It had as much snap as the 14's but with a warmth the smaller drums didnt get. That would be fire in a mix (to me, anyway). Makes me want to go spend some money.
By far the best shootout I have ever seen. Great sound, tuning and of course performance. I actually needed this badly. The phosphorus Bronze is the one that I would go for. They all sound awesome. Also I was never a 14x5 guy, but this changed my views. Thanks for all your creative efforts.
Thank you. Great video, especially with the quick cuts. Makes comparing between the different models so much easier in this virtual world. I really like the Mahogany 15x5.
Pearl makes some awesome drums. This video is no exception! ! I had a steel shell sensitone I found in peices at a drum shop. I bought it , and the necessary parts to rebuild it. Three days later it was up and playing. I used it for credit towards a kit I've been wanting to get a week later. I miss it a little. Lol
I just dreamed about this bronze sound, now it’s 5am and I’m watching it again! Hahaha I swear! I need this snare!
The brass has such cutting power and bit of ring ,a little moon gel will do justice!
Well done man. The summary comparisons are an added value to this review. The African mahogany drum has a vibe of its own.
The snares are great. Your ideas + techniques about making these videos are phenomenal. Thank you.
Phosphor bronze sounded great at each tension. Great video, Austin! Loved the quick cut comparisons. Thank you for making a great demo of these drums. Top notch as always.
still rocking the 1st edt. of that snare.. sounds even better than this newer version :-)
Thanks for all your insight /transcriptions and everything else you give the drum community .........your the best !!!!
They all sound great. I love how warm wooden snares are, but man you just can't beat the CRACK of a well-made metal snare. I have a Tama SLP super Aluminum and I absolutely love it. These snares are all amazing. Pearl did a great job with them.
Mahogany medium tuned is awesome. Thanks for the video.
The Beaded Phospo Bronze was my favorite. A really good phat metal sound and a nice overtone range at all 3 tensions.
The bronze and mahogany sounded more deep on the highs' to me. Then on high they all sound pretty snappy-high, but a slight difference., which is surprising, metal isn't much louder to ears. Brass does have a ring, they all sound like studio quality ! It really makes me rethink what I need out of snare if buying one, they all are so unique in sound, but maple always wins.
Thanks for the video, good production. I like all, but brass sounds best for me
the premium maple really sound good
Great video! Medium is the key here. All shells sound the best there.
I have the Beaded Phospor in 6,5 depth, really love it
1st and 2nd ,in my opinion, is the bests
Great video! Bronze the best for me
15x5 Mahogany was definitely most appealing to me. I've always preferred wood snares over metal though.
Hi Austin!
Bronze phosphor all the way!
Sounds killing in any given tuning!
#2 would be the Mahogany...must be great for recording for sure!
Maple is blah...nothing to right home about.
The brass one sounded too thin to my ears.
Cheers from Brazil!
Thanks fo the video,nicely done. All great drums at a VERY AFFORDABLE PRICE RANGE. Been a fan of pearl snares and own a reference kit. There fantastic drums,and the QUALITY is top notch.
Love the BRONZE.
I use it a lot and bought it after seeing this video..
It’s not as loud as the Tama SLP Dynamic Bronze snare, which I have as well ..
All the drums sound great, but I gotta say the Phosphor Bronze is my fav.
Nicely done Austin!
what a fantastic shootout. Thanks!
how comparisons should be done!! a+! i like the phosper bronze. good ring tone. nice crack.
They all sound good and have different characteristics at the different tunings. But I like the 15 x 5.....there's something about that snare that was different. Wonder if it's challenging to get 15" heads for it?
easily found online, just not as many snareside options in thicknesses usually
The phosphor bronze is, by far, the best one !
fantastic snares
That bronze snare takes it for me. I don’t even like my snare tuned low, but DAMN does that drum sound good tuned low. All of these drums sound great. But Brass sounds better all around IMO
Why not the aluminum? By the way, the bassdrum sounds awesome, what brand and model is it?
I like the little tune you have playing in between everything, what's it called?
Great 👍🏻 Video 🔥
nice tuning - can you share the tension for batter and reso head
Those snares sound awesome, especially in all tunings, but is there any tuning tips or tricks on how to accomplish those tunings while receiving that great snare tone sound😎😎🔥🔥
Just keep that bottom head tight!
You've earned your place into Valhalla of snare comparison videos. That phosphor bronze is sweeeet, and a honorable mention for the 15" mahogany. Respect!
What are those plastic rings on your drum sticks and what are they for please?
These are sick drums!!! And what fantastic review video. First thing I did after watching was check out prices 🤣. Bronze and Mahogany both have that sweet "thock" I want to hear in a snare. 👌
That bronze snare sounds incredible! Great comparison video as well. By any chance do you remember what your bottom head tuning was like for these comparisons? I'm just curious as to if it was changed at all or was similar between each drum, just as a reference for me to get a better sound at home too and practice tuning more. Cheers!
I always go pretty tight on the bottom for every tuning... not quite table top tight but pretty dang tight.
@@abbdrums Okay awesome! I've always heard to go really tight but I get kind of worried about going overboard and snapping it. That's really helpful to know though, thank you man.
$600 for Bronze or $400 for Maple (on sale)? That’s a tough decision...both sound awesome at medium! Great video.
Would be nice to get some single hits to use as samples. The phosphor bronze sounds so damn good!
Great video Austin. Is there any specific trick with the tuning because i can't hear too much ring and i really like the sound you get from them. Thanks
i am putting remo ambassador on the aluminium snare drum pearl sensitone and evans st dry on the maple snare drum pearl sensitone, may be remo emperor white suede on the maple snare drum pearl sensitone. let go !!
Каждый по своему звучит круто)
hello! which is the best for you?? I see better 5"x14" than 6.5x14, bronze or brass??
This is a great video
Low - Bronze
Med - Brass/Mahogany
High - Mahogany
Wish I had earthworks mics
what was the snare mic dude
sick video
which drum heads are you using?
The maple hands down.
I choose two drums , the phosphor bronze and the maple
It's been a year since I seen this video and I got to say that bronze snare is something to be desired. I can't help but think what a free floater would sound like with a bronze shell.
Um... Pearl makes one... it exists, dude...
the maple (low) my fav
phosphor bronze is my favorite.
Bronze as a metal is more dense than brass. Hence why we get cleaner sounds from Bronze snares in general.
how were the bottom heads tuned in relation, higher or lower? And after the low tuning as you went up, did the bottom head also go up or stay the same?
Always tight on the bottom... only brought the top head up for each tuning.
Very Informative!!!
Parabéns pelo vídeo.
How to get the first snare sound without spending $800?
только так надо делать сравнение барабанов !!!
First snare is the best......;)
I really liked the brass snare with low tuning.
When you tune them low/medium/high are you just doing the batter head or both heads That tuning?
Ah actually seen you've answered in a different reply.
Yep, I keep the bottom tight for everything and just change the top head 👍🏼
THANK YOU !!!
What is the snare mic brand\ type?
Earthworks DM20 for the close mic. SR25's for the overheads.
Bronze=Best
Mahagony
Brass
Maple
Definitely phosphor bronze it surprised me I thought the brass would win but no phosphor bronze all the way.
Bronze = best low, Maple = best medium, and my favorite: Mahogany = best high tuning.
15 medium.
Fine, I'll just have to take one of each.
very late to the party, but excellent recordings!
Xin chào , tôi đến từ Việt Nam và tôi có thể mua ở đâu
BRONZE KILING!!!!!
Bronze 👏
6:24
Mahagony , but not on par with The Steve Smith Snare
I have the Mahogany , I love it!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I prefer steel
Pearl is underrated because very popular , their 14"/5" is one of the best sounding snare of all , (the reference serie and aluminium snare is amazing too !)
Probably the best snare drum review video I've ever seen. Thanks for taking the time to do it right. In different applications they'd all sound amazing but #1 was the 15" med and high for sure then the bronze. One comment would be to not have transition music between the different drums even though I love the intro/outro music. When I'm listening to the different drums I'm trying to keep the sound of the last one in mind, and often times listen with my eyes closed so I can compare and then the music starts with a different snare sound so it kind of erases the memory of the last drum. I could be the only that cares or listens like this so it's obviously not a big deal. Awesome video either way! Thanks
bronze 0:45 - 1:07 - 1:30
brass 1:59 - 2:21 - 2:44
maple 3:13 - 3:36 - 3:59
mahogany 4:28 - 4:50 - 5:14
At high tunings, all sound pretty good, nice 'n funky. The brass has more cut than the bronze, maybe a tad too much for some genres of music. The mahogany is the "softest" of them which should make it a good option e.g. for singer-songwriter stuff. Going down the tuning range, the bronze is somehow ahead of the competition. It sounds a tad more controlled and warmer. Interesting snare. The maple has no real strengths, nor weaknesses. Solid allrounder-workhorse IMHO.
Great compare-video btw. I wish more people would do their snaredrum compares the way you did. Outstanding job.
Phosphor bronze low tuning = MONEY
Instantly gave me the desire to want to buy one, sounded amazing.
Agreed. That was by far the best any of these snares sounded in the video. Far and away.
I agree. Its fat and complex at the same time ... love it!
Excelent job Austin, the quick cuts delivered a true comparison! By the way i love the Brass!
Awsome audio, perfect editing, very good skills.
Just a great video.
