I'm a wood worker and Poplar is a very common lower end hardwood. It's a very nice and cost effective wood to replace pine with. Pine is a softwood and what a standard 2x4 is made of. Poplar is also on the softer side of hardwoods so while being resilient it will probably give you warmer tones vs something like Maple or Birch shells.
yeah my first ddrum kit had poplar shells. apparently more a guitar wood but is an affordable wood with Soft highs and mids, and boosted low-end warmth. from my experience in studio and stage with that kit it can be made to sound good, like really good but its no replacement for high-end wood haha.
I have a Woodworks 14" 6.5 walnut Wrap, if you put on new heads and tune it right, every snare could sing, and for my low budget, that snare is a very good choice
Great tuning makes a good snare. I’ve heard $100 (or less) snares sound good, and Craviotto’s sound bad. You are paying the quality built into the snare
I like deep snares, but that one still sounded “tubby”. Needed the batter cranked up a bit to even out the depth. Poplar is pretty soft and I’ll usually teak oil the inside to give it some body and luster. Personally, I’d have left the original heads on and just went for broke on the tuning. Once they’re worn out, then buy new shit.
Brandon soto you can do it brother. I’ve been playing for 2 months and I’m already practicing with a band. “Ladder to nowhere” already have an album on iTunes. I started with an ekit because nobody wants to hear a new player lol
Wyatt what snare would you recommend when your on a budget? Im looking at 2 on SweetWater. One is the Sjc for $179 and the Ddrum red&black. What do you think?
Id recommend you Joey Jordison signature snare. Its around 200-250$ it isnt in your price range but its extremely worth it if you find one. Or you can just buy the one without the signature. Its i believe cheaper.
well you could get a real snare and just make it quieter ( with Black Hole mesh head for example) because I live in an apartment and I can't stand electric drums so I still play acoustics but quieter!
Duude rlly? You put 2 moongels on a brand new head and you expect to get a good sound from a snare? Wow! Just let the drum breathe... And the tuning is super bad anyway...Also in most of the cases the sound comes from the hand ;)
You want to hear a natural snare sound,with nothing on the head,look at all the snare reviews made on yt from big drum stores...no one puts moongel because they want to show us the most natural sound you can get from that snare by showing low to high tuning ;)

Before watching this video... Who had already heard of "Poplar" ?! xD

Pearl Fireworks 12x5. It's Poplar wood.
I do logging so I've seen a few poplars lol.
Most entry level sets are poplar
Yep
More content like this please.
I like this vlog type of videos! Definitely wanna see more :)
Man, it's 1am where I live. I still gotta watch this video now
lmao
@@WyattStav Thanks for the like. I'm a guitar player, but seeing people play drums as well as you do blows my mind
The best way of tuning a snare with my experience is 2 drum keys on each side
TrustyDrumStar like Gavin Harrison
Same no cap!
Never even thought of this lol
Broooo I’ve never thought of that😭
Lol I just wanted to buy that thing, thanks for the video man, I’m gonna go for the same head configurations. 👌🏻
i tune my snare the same way, great video!
Poplar was commonly used in a LOT of classic vintage 70's and 80's kits. Usually it was used in combination with maple.

Loving the raw audio
Awesome yes more vlogs
No moon gels needed here !!!
Your drumming sounds a lot more dynamic in this video than in your other video's. Sounds great! I love the way you play.
Next time would love to hear a comparison between stock, tuned as best as possible and then with new batter, resonant, gels.
Anyone else thinks that Wyatt can play the young Albus Dumbeldore role in the Harry Potter universe 🤣😂
point out the bent lugs and get a discount. nice free jam.
Defender August Burns red. Reaction from you and Lindsey. Need it
For sure
That double down halpern stack sounds so good
Great tuning makes a good snare.
I’ve heard $100 (or less) snares sound good, and Craviotto’s sound bad.
You are paying the quality built into the snare
Love the vlogs man!
Poplar is a great wood. Just gotta know how to work it. Especially for heavy music.
I like deep snares, but that one still sounded “tubby”. Needed the batter cranked up a bit to even out the depth.

Dude I’ve been binge watching your covers and at almost 30 years old I want to buy my first drum set.
Brandon soto you can do it brother. I’ve been playing for 2 months and I’m already practicing with a band. “Ladder to nowhere” already have an album on iTunes. I started with an ekit because nobody wants to hear a new player lol
It’s never too late dude
Viserys Targaryen is pretty good at the drums🤘

RAD!!
I have the same snare, I picked it up because I wanted to see if I liked playing with a 14x8 and mine sounds way better #teamremo
Was hoping to hear your thoughts of the final product.
👌🏻👌🏻🔥🔥
I really miss hitting a real snare... Since I am living in a flat, I can only hit my mesh head kit for now...
well you could get a real snare and just make it quieter ( with Black Hole mesh head for example) because I live in an apartment and I can't stand electric drums so I still play acoustics but quieter!
Any new drum kit!!
Take a shot everytime he says "finger"
Can you do the same video but with a full kit?🤔
Bent tension rod
DUDE....how do you have your hair sto stay like that?
Well it wasn't 100$ snare plus tax and plus the price of the drum heads
Yo, dig your shit, would hella appreciate if you reacted to Under the Scalpel Blade by Carcass. It's a new track by them and heavy as all fuck
Duude rlly? You put 2 moongels on a brand new head and you expect to get a good sound from a snare? Wow! Just let the drum breathe... And the tuning is super bad anyway...Also in most of the cases the sound comes from the hand ;)
some snares have a lot more ring - like the jj for example so 1 moonjel works wonders.
