what a killer sound. that low tuning was incredible.
I should re visit this snare.....the room hides most of the amazing qualities.
I am watching/listening to this in my studio... it never occurred to me to listen to these in full volume studio monitor level... I can hear the kick so clearly.. this is just amazing what you do
Awe mate you are really way too kind.
I am drummer deserves so much subscribers. i’m pretty sure he is the only youtube’s who reviews high end snares
Thanks brother really appreciate the comment and I can't believe I missed it. A lot of the drums that I receive are either from companies here in Australia or from local builders. When it's the more exotic snares I usually buy them so those sorts of videos take a little longer to produce.
Many thanks Drum Brother for this most excellent video. I can't get over just how great this snare is, and especially for the price, it's like a gift from DW!!!
I love this drum, I seldom use it though because of it's sheer volume but when it's unleashed I don;t hold back.
Considering getting one of these, I just yesterday bought 6.5x14 NOB DW Collectors and I already want a bell brass in the same size. Also, you’re one of the few channels where the drums you review are well tuned. So thank you for that.
Mate you got a great snare there.....so good and thank you so much for the kind words, all these comments are only coming up in my comments feed :(
VERY COMMANDING SOUND ! GREAT !
Played it just the other day, it just rips.
Fantastic! DC
David Curtis Thanks brother, greatly appreciated.
Very bloody nice indeed!!!
I know right, I have a new mag throw for it and I have to play this one again.
Outstanding snare. I prefear medium tuning.
Most of my drums are of medium tuning or at least close to it.
Wow. Never one to give DW much praise - but that sounds awesome.
I love it, fellow band mates in a small room hate it.....so loud it's just AWESOME!
I just found a rare 13x7 model with brass hardware and die-cast hoops.
Finally a cast bell bronze DW snare and in my prefered size too.
No way that’s awesome, love to see some pics.
I AM DRUMMER heck yeah. I will post in the DW group on FB when he (he as I call it “Golden Boy”) has safely arrived.
Did it arive?
@@IAMDRUMMER it did. A great snare but a bit too heavy to cart around (heavier than the HLD even) so I ended up selling it.
I even got the same snare in 14x6 after that one and sold it for the same reason (although it was 1k lighter, sometimes I never learn) that one can be heard on my last live video.
I just have to accept that I love the sound, but not the weight of a cast bronze snare.
Who knows what the feature will bring 😂
I know what you mean, I love that Duluth but gigging with it is a little difficult on the back, worth the hassle though ….. especially for weddings 😂🤣
Love the Vinnie sound it’s got, for sure pure drum quality... Every try Tama Star???
I have and my god it’s like creating an earthquake in terms of volume.
Do you think you can record without any effects so we can see how the drums sound completely dry?
Donald Sturge Anthony McKenzie II Would love to but at the moment it's a 320sq concrete factory, looking at enclosing it all but it comes down to $$$$
one of the best...........
It sure is.
Excellent review as always!!!
I currently have a DW bronze snare just like this for sale on Reverb dot com.
If it was a 13 I would be all over it.
@@IAMDRUMMER I’ve got a 13x5 DW cast bronze snare that I’m looking to sell
Do you now, well come on in sir and send me an email.
@@IAMDRUMMER where do I find your email?
It’s in the about section on the main channel page.
With the muffling that snare sounds great. Otherwise from brass I'd hear the infamous "PAAAAAANG".
Yeah it can have a little but I used the M1 for real world review use but some people want the raw sound so I have stuck with it since.
I wonder why DW stopped making cast metal snares? Btw I recently just bought a 14 x 6.5 polished rolled bell bronze snare by DW
Sand casting is a very expensive and time consuming process, but the results are amazing with a high price tag.
They made a small batch called the True-Cast and here it was $8,000....wife said no :(
That’s some Jim Morrison level reverb
Jim Morrison would be jealous of this verb 😂😂
3:09 thanks
wow great room sound like melvins record
That room was a blessing and a curse.
Do u add reverb on the snare mic channel??
No never, it's that room I was in.
dw needs a metal shell lug. those circle one work best for wood shells.
Love to see the machined designer lug as an option.
Where can i buy one dw brass snare 14x5 the old gold model 🙂
Like this particular one, they do make another version of it but this particular model has been discontinued for many years.
OMG You Temptress!
I think you should find one and buy it.
Try it with an Evans vented head. They sound good on those brass snares.
Did that back in the day and it really made this bad boy crack. Have to do it again.
next time please make rimshots i want to hear the crasck out of that thing
I only play rim shots especially in the reviews 🙂
then this snaredrum misses the l crack as most snares do when a normal head is used
Try the remo Cybermax on the snaredrum..new doors open and a much more amazing sound on this drum
Head choice is all personal preference, what you might prefer to get the tone and crack you desire might not suit another players taste. Remo Cybermax is made with the Premier coating and designed primarily for Pipe and Marching band.
My personal taste is not to use this type of head on a snare drum for many reasons but that's my taste. Also as you may have noticed I prefer Evans drum heads who also sponsor this channel and to use another brand of head wouldn't go down to well....also the Remo 14" Cybermax retails here in Australia for $179AUD so to buy one for each snare review is extremely cost prohibitive for not just me but also for the everyday drummer.
This drum has plenary of crack as the video doesn't do it real justice, the idea behind these reviews is to get a general overview of the product, heads etc.
Yes the remo cybermax is bacically a marching head for the pipe band but if you watch my video ish is the jazz you can hear a 2.3mm glassfiber snaredrum with remo cybermax as the all time choyce for batter head and remo ambassador snare side as reso and canopus vintage snare wires.
Reverb and tape on a drum that cost $3,500 what's the point we don't get to hear what it actually sounds like
Jetty 1502 What tape that’s not tape look again and that’s the room no verb added, sorry to disappoint.
@@IAMDRUMMER well if it's not taped and what the hell is it? and I don't believe for a second that the room mic is making all that reverb. Anyways I don't give a hell what it is good luck in the future buddy
Jetty 1502 It’s a 320sm concrete factory and yes that’s the mic picking it up, look at some of the other videos as I do talk about it and show the size of it. The dampening is a Snareweight M1, this was of my very first videos and I care what you say about it.
a minute 35 of rim clicks is about a minute too much
You watched more of it than I did.
selling right kidney for Manu Katches 14 x6.5 and left kidney for that.
Who needs kidneys anyway!!
Drums for organs, sign me up.
WTFudge
Great wedding snare, like a sledge hammer.
way too much reverb, and the level of volume is also too loud, can't really hear the true sound of the snare
Ahhh this was one of my first videos and a lot has been learnt from this one and others.
Biggest issue was the room, all that reverb you hear is a 320sqm concrete factory I was leasing. As much as the reverb was nice and boomy it brought a lot of problems.
@@IAMDRUMMER hope you could post another one about this amazing snare drum :) meanwhile hope you're enjoying it 😎🤘
I am doing another with a small but amazing upgrade.
Rim shot is tooooooooo lonnnng
Crack.......VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERB!
