    You may have noticed that I spelled “square off” incorrectly. The Exceptional American is a terrible speller, and I was still in character during the editing process.

  • @cfusilier2
    @cfusilier2 14 днів тому +38

    The Ludwig here. They’re all great drums of course, but I think the Ludwig has the most complex sound, yet consistent across tunings and microphones.

    • @electricurinal
      @electricurinal 7 днів тому

      Agree.... with the DW second... the DW almost has too much of the goods the Ludwig has.

  • @mcdrums87
    @mcdrums87 14 днів тому +14

    The Tama SLP sounded the best to me, but honorable mention to Ludwig for sounding great and being the best-looking!

  • @stephentyler4352
    @stephentyler4352 4 години тому +1

    I know this is late but I just watched this video now.
    Lower tuning:
    1. DW Performance
    2. Tama SLP
    3. Ludwig
    4. Yamaha
    Higher tuning:
    1. Ludwig
    2. Tama
    3. DW
    4. Yamaha
    Overall winner for me is Ludwig. I’m a Noble and Cooley guy normally if I had to choose one brand.

  • @dipshlitz1
    @dipshlitz1 14 днів тому +18

    Ludwig. It's going to be hard to unseat a Ludwig snare drum in sound & popularity.

  • @hamilstarr4292
    @hamilstarr4292 14 днів тому +22

    Loved the TAMA SLP! Definitely my vote considering I’m a Ludwig snob

  • @tweakedsam

    The Yamaha is the winner for me, but the Ludwig is so close!

  • @JereBruceO
    @JereBruceO 11 днів тому

    That Yamaha never ceases to amaze. That one’s the real workhorse snare

  • @jackfino7136
    @jackfino7136 14 днів тому +3

    They all sound great but for my ear and money I give the edge to Yamaha

  • @danzitoli2796
    @danzitoli2796 14 днів тому +6

    Yamaha RC by a nose over the Ludwig, then DW and SLP. I's so tough and all sound great, but the SLP speaks less than the other 3.

  • @AdamStachelek
    @AdamStachelek 6 годин тому

    I know Ludwig is a safe popular choice, but my heart has to go to the Tama SLP Black Brass. I have an older Tama Metalworks 6.5x14 Special Edition with the black die cast hoops and black hardware and it's a sexy beast for short money.

  • @handidrummer
    @handidrummer 14 днів тому +1

    I'm a DW guy through and through........ the Ludwig is actually insane..... Ludwig for this round for sure

  • @danielhainscote

    Yamaha!

    The Yamaha for sure, works in every tuning😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

    • @mjm5081
      @mjm5081 13 днів тому

      My choice too. Ludwig too "boxey" at low tuning. DW too "thin" at high tuning.

  • @dugjay
    @dugjay 14 днів тому +9

    The Yamaha by a lug nut over the Ludwig. I have the Black Beauty and a Yamaha Steve Gadd Signature. Both are great sounding drums but imo the snares on the Yamaha sound like the old school Supraphonics. .

  • @markstringfellow2981
    @markstringfellow2981 День тому

    I’m sorta favoring the Tama black SLP. Slappy darkness. The Ludwig is gorgeous!

    I love it so much.

  • @brianhall6403
    @brianhall6403 14 днів тому +5

    I've gotta go with the Tama here - it's got a great bark, a pure sound from the snare wires, and almost even more importantly, it sounds like it'd be easier to record/mix.

  • @Timotolas
    @Timotolas 14 днів тому +4

    Suggest to hide which snare is which, people could judge by the sound as first criteria and not get influenced by the brand name...also will be more interesting to participate (:

    • @adamfrost3722

  • @dingerjunkie

  • @HERBYWALLACE3

    Tama has my vote Ludwig 2nd

  • @tylerromeo2879
    @tylerromeo2879 14 днів тому +3

    Tama. It seems to do a little bit of everything.
    I watched this video a bunch of times - the DW stood out at first as perfect for heavy genres. The overtones are great, and can be muffled if need be. But the other drums have a better rim shot.
    The Ludwig has the fattest backbeat and was my second pick. It sounds very smooth. It would be an amazing workhorse at any tuning, but I really don't tune low, and I liked the Tama's high tuning more.
    As an audio engineer, I love the RC. As a drummer, it's not my first choice.
    The Tama bridges all of the gaps. It has "boing" and it has a fat backbeat. It would probably record well too.

  • @anicabrera6739
    @anicabrera6739 14 днів тому +5

    My vote goes to Tama SLP.

  • @sabrsyth08
    @sabrsyth08 9 годин тому

    My winner is the Ludwig, but that S.L.P and the DW were surprisingly good too. The Yamaha was really nice as well. Honestly they’re all great snares but the Ludwig took the win imo

  • @SylvesterSlumps
    @SylvesterSlumps 14 днів тому +3

    Yamaha

  • @ZacharyRoland

    Ludwig is definitely the best looking, but I'd have to give it to the recording custom! The Tama is a close second.

  • @db_on_drums
    @db_on_drums 14 днів тому +3

    Just great drums.
    Close Second for me the Ludwig Supra, but all sounded great.
    By the way that Sonor Bass goes Boom sounding huge💪🏾

  • @paulv22
    @paulv22 14 днів тому +1

    Soundwise, either the Ludwig or Tama with maybe a slight edge to the Ludwig. Looks wide, Ludwig.

  • @crispycasp7876
    @crispycasp7876 14 днів тому +16

    That Yamaha sounds really nice, but for me the Ludwig Striped Brass is the best. Just seems to stand out more with it's sound, both in low and high tunings

  • @alsdrumcorner7311
    @alsdrumcorner7311 14 днів тому +1

    Close between the Ludwig and Yamaha... But RC for me

  • @lukenixon2390
    @lukenixon2390 14 днів тому +4

    I gotta go with the Yamaha. They're all hecken nice but the Yamaha has a nice complex crack with some depth that is appealing to my ear.

  • @konstantinopalis
    @konstantinopalis 14 днів тому +4

    Tama are the best.🤟

  • @emorycarroll
    @emorycarroll 13 днів тому +1

    Ludwig 100%. It has a lot more body than the others, especially in the higher tuning

  • @trickster089
    @trickster089 14 днів тому +3

    I was surprised to find the Yamaha as my favorite, followed by the Ludwig, then DW, then Tama. There’s a bright presence to the yammie that I really liked, plus I like a bit more snare activity, it seems a very responsive drum.

  • @brentbeaudry
    @brentbeaudry 12 днів тому

    It's the Ludwig for me. It has an x-factor to its timbre that sets it apart ever so slightly.

  • @drummaman1
    @drummaman1 14 днів тому +3

    Tama SLP does it for me! I think it comes stock with 42 strand wires, but that’s beside the point. This drumble is going to difficult, all of the snares sound great!!!

  • @LoveMusicAndDrums
    @LoveMusicAndDrums 14 днів тому +1

    I like the Yamaha the best. A little more open, probably because of the triple flange hoops against the die cast on the Ludwig.

  • @artofthesnare
    @artofthesnare 9 днів тому

    My vote: the Ludwig Striped Brass. There's just something about it -- it's got that signature brass sound!

  • @jkdavis2011
    @jkdavis2011 14 днів тому +5

    Tama for the win! Love the richness!

  • @carlupthegrove262
    @carlupthegrove262 14 днів тому +5

    Yamaha Brass RC - but I must say that new Ludwig Stripped Bass (oh, Brass) looks fabulous.

  • @FoxyBaskin
    @FoxyBaskin 14 днів тому +2

    The Tama is my favorite. The other 3 sound too similar to me.

  • @chrisambrose6869
    @chrisambrose6869 14 днів тому +6

    The TAMA SLP Black Brass.

  • @grzegi
    @grzegi 14 днів тому +1

    All are great but if I need to choose, for me personaly:
    1) Yamaha for it's perfect timbre and versality, good in both low and high tunings- some ring that you can muffle if you'd like but not too much, nice texture and depth, rich sound
    2) Ludwig - great at low tuning, lacking some character and depth in higher tuning
    3) DW - Nice sound, but little "canny" - not too much texture in the sound
    4) Tama - Nice, but too muffled to my ear, for some very speciffic needs

  • @terryhu57
    @terryhu57 14 днів тому +1

    I’d go with the Yamaha RC. It had the sound I’d prefer. It was close for all four.

  • @DaxRushlow

    TAMA Black Brass for me. They are all nice, hard to choose.

  • @KaitsuDrums
    @KaitsuDrums 13 днів тому +1

    For me, it's 1. Yamaha RC, 2. Ludwig, 3. Tama & 4. DW. I recently bought 14x5,5 Yamaha Brass Recording Custom and it has controlled overtones like in this 14x6,5.

  • @IrenESorius

  • @SuperXpress2

  • @user-pd6ph6zg5g
    @user-pd6ph6zg5g 13 днів тому

    They all sound great, really, BUT the Ludwig had something special. The ring was most pleasant, and the attack sounded both squishy and sensitive and aggressive and “snarey” all at the same time! I want to hit it!👍🏻
