Mapex Armory, Pearl Modern Utility & Yamaha Stage custom - Snares for under £200 on Kwesi's Corner

[@mikel.laughridge9480]

I have the Yamaha and I really like it. It has some real volume and crack to it when tuned. Thank you.

The Yamaha is a cool steel shell for the spondookies. The brightest of the 3. The Mapex sounded very professional though. Nice meaty wood undertones with more clear ghost notes I think. The more expensive Yamaha snares are mighty fine, but the Stage Custom Steel jobby is lovely too

This looks like the best damn snare lately, the yamaha steel!

digging that yamaha

[@punkoso4168]

I love the Yamaha steel snare and the Mapex , wasn't too convinced with the Pearl

[@rhythmista7707]

I love Yamaha and like Pearl, but the one that wins my vote is the Mapex, for the wood combination, the aesthetic, and the sound.

[@oskarfield8696]

Im a pearl guy but that Yamaha is the Best of the three. Mainly because its got a great batter head

[@alanduncan1980]

For me, the Pearl maple snare was the nicest.

[@frankkalejo8809]

What's the conversation of pounds(£) to USD($)

I wish you would have thrown in the Ludwig 6.5 supralite .

[@mattricketts5570]

What's the head you'd recommend for a Mapex Black Panther snare to give a big fat sound?

[@bschrode]

Matt Ricketts Anika Nilles always used a Evan Black Hydraulic Coated head. Sounded DEEEEP!

[@j-bird6563]

I'll stick with the Yamaha!

[@roybeckerman9253]

Pearl is a bit too ringy..
The same applies to their aluminium snares.
