Olympic drums may have been the 'cheap' kits of their time but there was nothing cheap about their sound.
I Gree! hahaha Thanks man!
Facts!
The fun thing is that the british drum manufacturer, from Olympic to Ajax are actually the better build instruments but bcause they're not trendy, they lost the battle. But they're build like tanks . ..
There is a great website called hindle&heely, there are all the informations about british vintage drums 🙌
Smack on mate
The premier for me
great sounding snare! thanks Man!
It depends on how it’s tuned and other factors. Ludwig drums sound drastically different on every other UA-cam video to the point where they don’t even sound like the same drum.
I had a snare like that with my Olympic kit in the 70s! Loved those Premier drums. Thank you for posting this video.
thanks to you for visiting our channel and commenting. Sorry the delay..
Premier Drums from the 60's and 70's are of excellent quality. Nothing to envy to a drum made in the USA
My first snare drum in 1976 was a PREMIER Olympic. Great drum!
Nice side by side demo. I like both of these. I bought a used supraphonic in 1973 and never bought another high quality 'gig' snare drum until last year. It's still a fine instrument.
They both sound really great. Nice video.
Thanks Man! 🙌🙌🙌
Ludwig Supraphonic 👍🏿
Whon´t fail! Thanks Roy!
Premier all day Long ❤️🧡💛💜❤️🧡💛🌞🌜🌟🌎🙏🌼🌸🌳🌴☺️
The cheap Premier definitely sounds more pleasing to my ear a bit more lively, full bodied, and cutting, but that is obviously due to the steel shell as opposed to the dry sounding aluminium shell of the Luddy.
both are good choices, thanks for the comment brother
Joe Morello made the Ludwig 400 sound incredible. I wonder if he would have made the Premier snare drum just as good?
I would have liked his chances.
great comparison, i love that u really matched the tuning.
Ludwig tuned lower, And slightly damped.
That was a really good comparison, Thank you. I always thought the beaded centre of the Ludwig cut down on the ringing. It did'nt seem much different. Well done.
Thanks for the comment, sorry the delay.
the truth is that they are two very good snares, but I prefer the Supra olso.
I have exactly both models and I prefer the Premier.
The problem with Premier Is that It has only 8 lugs instead of 10. I have a Yamaha stage custom steel and Is very similar to the premier imo but comes with 10 lugs.
Good choice my friend! Premier are very underrated! ...best price in vintage drum and best quality build in 50s to 70s! Look the 3ply wood shell's, thay are incredible ;)
@@robsco1249 what's the problem 8 lugs or 10 lugs, can you explain, please ?
@@mpcvore 10 lugs less overtones and keep the tuning longer...but in the end buy only with ears.
@@robsco1249 never notice that on my snares , i have both ... Maybe my ears are not that good. Tuning seems to last longer on my Premier 1026 (8 lugs) than on my Premier 1035 (10 lugs), maybe the difference in the sound is due to the material shell (steel on the 1026, alu on the 1035) ...Who knows...It's not a big deal anyway, i love them equally ...!
Ludwig🙏
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍🏼
Thanks Man! I will be making more comparisons!
Ludwig
you can't go wrong! thanks Greg!
Very similar but the Premier for me.
Both are great!
I have Those two snares as well the Premier and Ludwig
and which one do you prefer?
The Ludwig beats the Olympic by a hair, not a lot in it, but it is there. There's just a little to much ring with the Olympic but get a better Premier snare in there, maybe an aluminium 2000? And that Ludwig will have proper competition. It's a great demo. You could pick up a complete Olympic kit for about £150... A Supraphonic? £400 and up just for a snare drum? People are cottoning on to what tone machines vintage Premier are. The funny thing is the build quality is the best of the best. vintage Ludwig sound great but they have nothing on vintage Premier for quality and the tone is there with Premier I have a Resonator kit in Black Shadow finish and I'm bloody delighted with it! Sounds great and it is so beautiful! Now I'm collecting all the TriLok hardware for it...
Funny you say that...I've got a '98 Cabria set I bought a year ago...with G1's and Premier die cast hoops its sounds so close to the 60's Gretsch round badge kit I have next to it, I don't need the Gretsch's any more. Plus, no one will steal them if I gig them out.
@@bherward The die cast hoops definitely have some magic too them. Awesome rimshot tones guaranteed!
Comparison should be done between lm400 and Premier 35, lm402 and Premier 36. I have had them all and compared...
I like the Premier ...
They have a steel Olympic at the local resale store for $99…hmmm
offer him $60 and get it! hahahaha
i have both and i love both :)
I have a Premier 35, a Ludwig supraphonic lm 400 and a Sonor D ferromanganese 454 at the moment. After comparing them in real life I can say I prefer the Premier 35.
Same here, my 2 main snares are the supraphonic 400 and a Premier 35, whilst the 400 is amazing and it can’t be faulted, the 35 just seems to “sing” better. And it’s sexier 😁
I find Premier snares a bit boxy. You can't beat a crunchy ludwig. I'm a Brit btw...
Great Choise! thanks man!
Both excellent great vdo! 👍🏻
I’ve just pulled the trigger on an Olympic Snare after seeing this, what’s the best skin/reso/Wire sound to get it close to this?
tengo una caja ludwing igual a esa ...esta como nueva
I don’t think RINGO used that sort of snare.
His Premier was a shallow wood snare, used on the PLEASE PLEASE ME album.
Ringos Drums is the name of the chanel and the name of my shop, sorry for the misunderstood
Right. Ringo played a Ludwig 5.5X14 Jazz Festival snare drum with The Beatles.
@@curtisheddins5878
Ringo switched to Ludwig, in May 1963.
He used Premier before that..
@@roybeckerman7843 probably one of the Royal Ace models i'd guess
Premier all day long! Have several!
ludwig sounds like an actual instrument
Lol
winner! hahaha Thanks man!
🤷🏻♂️
sooo biased... 😄
Looks like someone paid to much for a mid Ludwig snare 😂
Both them good
ooh yeah!
I have the the same PREMIER snare, sounds fantastic. On the comparison here, they sound almost the same, in my opinion, the Premier has more harmonics, you can hear that metal resonance a bit more than the Ludwig, however, once again,I personally prefer the Premier over the Ludwig. You can pick up one of those Premier snare for pretty much nothing these days...shhh...keep it quiet
The Premier sourds amazing to me, what is the exact model please?
Premier!
Olympic...Suprisingly enough for me...
either one is a good choice!
thanks brother!
Ringo used the jazz festival
Hi Ziv! We are no’t discussing that.✌🏿💚
with the muffler on if available ?
Supraphonic
That's a Premier Snare drum, but it is NOT an Olympic model.
If that’s steel premier snare then that’s why the Ludwig sounds dryer and less ping to it. I like the Ludwig
I couldn't tell you, same microphones, without EQ or compression.
Thanks brother!
Had an Olympic set when I was in my teens. Had no idea how to tune drums and just treated it with disrespect. Gutted now. (The badge was just "Olympic" without "Premier". Strange.
I got an original Olympic snare. Sounds better than most around. But new Olympic not so good
These drums didn’t sound even close in the tuning to my ears
Ah ah !
I don't hear much different
thats why we made this video, thanks for your coment!🙌
I knew nothing about the Olympic before this demo. It sounds a bit like a student grade snare here.
Snares please!
PureSound Blasters 💚
Supra just edges it.Both are great sounding, though.
I had an olympic kit early 70``s Cost £133.00 . I was not impressed , And the snare never came close to a Ludwig snare. Sorry!
Premier all day.. i just can't buy into to supraphonic fad. Just because it was used in recordings most, doesn't make it best.
Lo malo de las premier olympic es que se dañan los lugs 😒😔
Ludwig is overrated and Premier is a class above even Olympic it’s budget range is better than most Ludwig’s I have played . I rate the Premier any day difference in sound is infinitely close. Ludwig is beaded You could have used a beaded premier for close comparison
hardly any difference!
Lugwig sounds best. Lugwig has higher pitch note, thicker sound with less overtones than the premier drum.
The comparison is great, But your sticks are not matched. The weight is different between the two and the tone changes from hand to hand.
